I'm trying to round a number up to the next whole number in sql server 2005 query analyzer.
i.e. 12.2 needs to display as 13
I've tried the round function but the value displayed is 12. I researched online and found the 'int' function but sql server 2005 doesn't recognize this. I'm new to sql...done most of my calcs via excel. Anyone know how to do this?

SELECT CEILING(CAST (12.2 AS FLOAT))

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Thanks for the feedback. Also consider the ROUND function. Use of the normally missed 3rd parameter can help solve certain problems.
