Hello!

I have two fields, Field1 and Field2, both int.
If Field1 contains 23 and Field2 contains 55, with CAST function
I manage to produce output looking like 23:55 (casting int to varchar). On the other hand, if Field1 contains 23 and Field2 contains 0, all I get is 23:0

How do I format it to look like 23:00?

Yours, Makkaramestari

try this

declare @a int, @b int
set @a = 23
set @b = 0
select right('00'+cast(@a as varchar(2)),2) + ':' + right('00'+cast(@b as varchar(2)),2)

Where do you want to show these data?
If you use Front End Application use this type of formations there
