How to round median value

I have problem, I cannot the fix bug with scalar-valued function. I have next function:

(@list varchar(max))
returns float
as
begin

    declare @Median float
    select @Median = (
    convert(float,(SELECT MAX(value) FROM
    (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT value from split(@list,',') order by value) BottomHalf))
    +
    convert(float,(SELECT MIN(value) FROM
    (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT value from split(@list,',') order by value DESC) TopHalf))
    ) / 2
    option (maxrecursion 0)

    return  (ROUND (@Median ,2))

end

In the response, I get for example: 1.155. when I add return (ROUND (1.155 ,2)) I get 1.15 but I need 1.16. I try add ROUND(CAST ( 1.155 AS float ),2) but it not helped me

Presumably, your return value is more like 1.154999999. This will round down. If you need to still get 1.16, then try declaring @median to have three decimal places:

declare @median decimal(18, 3)

I question whether this is what you really need. But here is a SQL Fiddle.
