I have a column with data type as int. I converted the int data type to varchar to convert nulls to N/A. As a result of this values such as 10000.00 have changed to 1000000. I need to convert the vaules back to money. Any help will be appreciated.
Example:
Isnull(Cast(Cast(PremiumValue as numeric) as varchar),'N/A') AS PremiumValue

I am not 100% sure what you mean because I can't reproduce what you're saying, but maybe one of these will help you?
DECLARE @t TABLE (PremiumValue INT, PV MONEY)
INSERT INTO @t
SELECT 10000, 10000 UNION ALL SELECT NULL, NULL
SELECT Isnull(Cast(Cast(PremiumValue as numeric) as varchar),'N/A') AS PremiumValue1
,Isnull(Cast(Cast(PV as numeric) as varchar),'N/A') AS PV1
,Isnull(Cast(Cast(PremiumValue as money) as varchar),'N/A') AS PremiumValue2
,Isnull(Cast(Cast(PV as money) as varchar),'N/A') AS PV2
FROM @t
Results are:
PremiumValue1PV1PremiumValue2PV2
100001000010000.0010000.00
N/AN/AN/AN/A
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
