Dividing 2 numbers in Sql Server

Question

I am doing SQL Server query calculations and the division always gives me zero.

SUM(sl.LINES_ORDERED) 
, SUM(sl.LINES_CONFIRMED)
, SUM(sl.LINES_CONFIRMED) /          


        

Answer 1

Try it like this:

SUM(sl.LINES_ORDERED) 
, SUM(sl.LINES_CONFIRMED)
, SUM(sl.LINES_CONFIRMED)*1.0 / SUM(sl.LINES_ORDERED)
