sql : add euro sign and round the number

Question

I have an application where I can download data to excel file. The problem is that I need to add euro sigh to some fields.

I had a simialar problem with date. In excel it was 54656434 It changed in normal date after using convert(varchar,senddate,105)

Is there something that looks like that to add euro sign and round it to 2 decimals ???

EDIT:

In excel i get the number like 1,55435 I need the output be like € 1,55

Answer 1

This is kind of convoluted... let me know what you think. Replace '1,55435' with your field.

SELECT CONCAT('£', CAST(CAST(1,55435 AS DECIMAL(18,2)) AS CHAR(55)))

I'm in the US, so I'm not sure if decimals can be changed to use commas instead of periods.

Edit: Also, try this: SELECT CONCAT('£', FORMAT(1,55365, 2)) . Let me know which works.
