Use Cases

  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building

Common Usage

  • Filter IDVs by maximum fee band
  • Group contract marketing records by fee range
  • Compare fee ceilings across award cohorts

Common Mistakes

  • Interpreting the upper value as the actual charged fee
  • Casting the string directly to numeric without cleaning formatting

Use this field as the upper endpoint of a range and cast to a numeric type only after validating the string format. In SQL, trim and normalize the value before conversion, and pair it with the lower fee field when analyzing the complete range or testing threshold conditions.
