Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type          


        

Answer 1

Use TRY_CAST function in exact same way of CAST function. TRY_CAST takes a string and tries to cast it to a data type specified after the AS keyword. If the conversion fails, TRY_CAST returns a NULL instead of failing.
