Help needed for Data formatting.

[mik357]

Hello all,

I just started using SQL to create a report. I got the syntax working
but I have absolutely no idea of how to format data. Can anyone kindly
look at my code and help me? I thank you in advance.

Details:-

The code:

SELECT Column1, Column2, Column3
FROM WORKSHEET

Output:
Column 1 Column2 Column3
23.00 a 23a
23.00 b age2

The output I want:
aCol1 aCol2 aCol3
23 a 23a
23 b age2

NOTE: the column headings have to be bolded.

In conclusion, the following is what I want:
.. the column data should be centered
.. how to change column headings and make them bold
.. the numeric value should be set as integer value (i.e. 12) instead
of default double value (i.e. 12.00)

SQL Server is not the correct place to format your result set. Formatting
belongs to the client interface.

For the DECIMAL values you can CAST to INTEGER:

SELECT CAST(column1 AS INT);
