I was using the below sql query to pull report for the last month.
Select * from TABLE
where datediff(month, InvoiceDate, Getdate()) = 1
I link this SQL query to Excel Power Query to generate the monthly report automatically by just 1 refresh click.
Now my issue is that our reporting has changed from 26th of last month to 25th of the current month, so the above SQL query will not give me the correct report. Plus I have to add the date every month to generate the report.
Is there a way to add the date in where clause dynamically to generate the report every month, so that my tool work the way it was working earlier
I have created a table and inserted values into that table.
Image for reference:
I fetched inserted values where invocedate is between 2022-09-01 and 2022-09-30 using below code.
declare #Startdate date=dateadd(MM, -1,getdate())
declare #Enddate date=dateadd(MM, -1,getdate())
declare #startingdate date = CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),DATEADD(dd,-(DAY(#Startdate)-1),#Startdate))
declare #endingdate date = CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),DATEADD(dd,-(DAY(DATEADD(mm,1,#Enddate))),
DATEADD(mm,1,#Enddate)))
select * from report where invocedate between #startingdate AND #endingdate

We need to create a report based on employee, say Kumar, logged 3 hours.
For example,
if a person is logged Hours in system for 1-1-2021. But he didn't log for 2-1-2021.
We have a join query to get the date and worked hours for each employee.
Our present report is like below (this is the screenshot from SSRS report)
But we need the missing dates also in the report. Abhishek has logged only from 4th Jan in the system. But we need rows above 4th Jan also in the report.
First name and last name should be in those columns in the new row. The hours worked should be 0 and other column values should be N/A or Null.
But here we need a query to get all dates in a month in the report whether the employee logged hours or not.() for not logged days)
This is the report that we want in SSRS.(i created this in excel)
How can i do that?
enter image description here
You are not able to force the missing dates with SSRS. To make this work correctly, you'll need to update your query to get all the dates in your date range and then LEFT JOIN your current data to the dates.
Add a INTO to your current report query put to put the data in a #TEMP_TABLE.
SELECT <CURRENT FIELDS>
INTO #TEMP_TABLE
FROM BLAH BLAH BLAH
Then Create a table of dates for your date range using a CTE with RECURSION.
DECLARE #START_DATE DATE = '01/01/2020' --THESE DATES SHOULD BE CHANGE TO USE PARAMETERS OF YOUR DATE RANGE
DECLARE #END_DATE DATE = '03/31/2021' --OR MIN/MAX FROM THE #TEMP_TABLE
;WITH GETDATES AS
(
SELECT #START_DATE AS THEDATE
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(DAY,1, THEDATE) FROM GETDATES
WHERE THEDATE < #END_DATE
)
SELECT D.THEDATE, T.*
FROM GETDATES D
LEFT JOIN #TEMP_TABLE T ON D.THEDATE = T.DATE_WORKED
OPTION (maxrecursion 0)
This will return every date in THEDATE field with your current data in the other fields.
I'm trying to see if there is a better way to achieve what I am doing right now. For example, I need to know total number of users who have logged in for the past 12 months. So each user who has logged in at least once a month, for twelve months in a row would count towards the total.
The way I am doing this right now is: I query my table and get all user ids and timestamps of when they were active and return them to my c# code. Then with bunch of loops and LINQ I calculate the value (Its too much code to dump into this question and since I'm trying to get away from doing it in c# I don't believe there is a need for it).
Now this takes some time to run and I'm sure there has to be a better way to do this with SQL. I've searched but haven't found any SQL functions that let you count based on a recurring condition.
For an answer I'm hoping to either get an example or a link to a similar SO question or an article that talks about achieving this.
An example of MyUsersTable:
UserId | Timestamp
1 | '2018-12-23 00:00:00.000'
1 | '2018-11-23 00:00:00.000'
1 | '2018-10-23 00:00:00.000'
EDIT: I did thought of using SUM(CASE WHEN month = 1 and month = 2 and month = 3) but that seems also like not a great solution.
Expected Result:
Total number of users who were active at least once a month in the last 12 months.
If you need users who logged in every month in 2018:
select ut.userid
from MyUsersTable ut
where timestamp >= '2018-01-01' and timestamp < '2019-01-01'
group by ut.userid
having count(distinct month(timestamp)) = 12;
I'd count the distinct number of months a user logged in on:
SELECT userid
FROM mytable
WHERE YEAR(timestamp) = 2018
GROUP BY userid
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT MONTH(timestamp)) = 12
To get userIDs who logged in for a specific number of consecutive months, you can use:
/* These are your input values */
DECLARE #searchDate date = '2018-12-15' ;
DECLARE #monthsToSearch int = 12 ;
/* First day of search month */
DECLARE #EndDate date = DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, #searchDate), 0) ;
/* First day of month to search from */
DECLARE #StartDate date = DATEADD(month, -#monthsToSearch, #EndDate) ;
SELECT userID --, #StartDate AS startDate, #EndDate AS endDate
FROM (
SELECT userID, ( (YEAR(userLoginDT)*100)+MONTH(userLoginDT) ) AS datePoint /* YYYYMM */
FROM t1
WHERE userLoginDT >= #StartDate
AND userLoginDT < #EndDate
) s1
GROUP BY userID
HAVING count(distinct(datePoint)) = #monthsToSearch
;
See the db<>fiddle here for my examples.
The fist two declared variables are your input variables. You feed it the date your are running the report on and then telling it how many months you want to go back to. So you can search any number of months. After that, it's pretty much date manipulation and math.
#EndDate essentially takes your declared date and calculates the first day of the month you are currently searching in. You will search for any dates before this date.
#StartDate counts back from your #EndDate to calculate the number of months you want to search.
(YEAR(userLoginDT)*100)+MONTH(userLoginDT) in your sub-select creates an integer variable that you can GROUP BY to get a distinct count of months you're searching over. This part could be sped up with the Calendar Table.
Then you just use the HAVING to pick out how many distinct records your want for #monthsToSearch.
NOTE: As many here can attest, I'm a huge fan of working with Calendar Tables when dealing with date calculations and large amounts of search data. Something like that would likely speed the query up a bit.
I am trying to create a query which will be used within a reporting dashboard. the query needs to pull a date from a parameter which is feed from a datetime control within the dash board.
The issue i have is that the date time control will show the current date or can be changed using a drop down calender. I need the query to look at the date provided and perform a bit of an if statement.
If the date provided is the same month as the current month. I need the date used within the query to be the last day of the previous month. ELSE it should use the last day of the month selected.
I have tried several variations writing my code into the Where Clause but have so far not come to any success. Even just trying to get the query to give me the last day of the previous month (Code below) has not worked.
Any ideas would be welcome. I am really stuck on this.
SELECT A.ETLKEY, A.EFFECTIVEDATE, A.ACTUAL,
FROM DBO.View
WHERE (A.EFFECTIVEDATE = (DateAdd("d", -1, CDate(
"01/"+CStr(Format(&EndDate(),"MM/yyyy"))))))
Second attempt
DECLARE #dtDate DATE
SET #dtDate = &Enddate
--'Month/day/year'
SELECT Case
When #dtDate = '08/01/2016'
-- Last day of previous month, as this month will have no date in it
Then DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,#dtDate),0))
-- Last day of month stated.
Else DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,#dtDate)+1,0))
So final working Code for anyone who might find this useful in the futrue
DECLARE #dtDate DATETime
SET #dtDate = &Enddate
--'Month/day/year'
SELECT Case
--compares month from parameter to todays month
When DATEPART(mm,#dtDate) = DATEPART(mm,GETDATE())
-- Last day of previous month, as this month will have no date in it
Then DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,#dtDate),0))
-- Last day of month stated.
Else DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,#dtDate)+1,0))
END
I have an SSRS report with parameters for Created On Start and Created On End. Users run this manually and choose the date range to display records for. I need to display in two different columnns the records for the month the user entered in the parameters and the previous month for the dates used in the parameters.
For example the user uses the the following dates in the parameters:
Start Date: 03/01/2016 EndDate: 03/31/2016
The Report should display in one column the records for march 2016 and next to it the records for february 2016
You could write one query which queries both months.
Add a field that will act as the column label eg format the date as the first of the month.
Then create a pivot table to show the two months as the columns with the usual rows .
EDIT - new details
So:
dateStart = '2016-03-01'
dateEnd = '2016-03-31'
These could be less than the whole month, but should be in the same month. prevStart = DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, '2000-01-01', dateStart)-1, '2000-01-01')
the first day of the previous month.
Use similar for the prevEnd to calculate the last day of previous month.
OK. Now build your select:
SELECT xxxx, yyyy, zzzz
, DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, '2000-01-01', createdOnDate), '2000-01-01') as MonthCol
FROM tables
WHERE (createdOnDate>= prevStart and createdOnDate<=prevEnd)
OR (createdOnDate>= dateStart and createdOnDate<=dateEnd)
Build a pivot table style grid with monthCol as the heading of the columns and your usual data as the rows. That way you can get your "previous Month" columns as well as the date range that you selected
I need to run a weekly report based on the arrival date. How can I set the arrival date in the where clause so that I can get the result only for each week. The hard part is I DO NOT want to modify the dates each week. I need the permanent where clause for the date. I have to provide a list of customers who arrived every week and I just want to run the same script without changing the week dates.
Please assist.
Thanks.
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE
(ARRIVAL_DATE>DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()-7), MONTH(GETDATE()-7), DAY(GETDATE()-7)))//7 days before starting at midnight
AND
(ARRIVAL_DATE<DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), MONTH(GETDATE()), DAY(GETDATE()))) //NOW in the YYYY, MM,DD format
This will get everything that happened in the current calendar week (Mon-Sun)
SELECT * FROM Table1
WHERE ArrivalDate BETWEEN
CAST(DATEADD(dd,(((DATEPART(dw,getdate())+##DATEFIRST) % 7)+5) % 7 ,getdate()) as date) AND
CAST(DATEADD(dd,6+((((DATEPART(dw,getdate())+##DATEFIRST) % 7)+5) % 7 ),getdate()) as date)
Edit - Removed extra E in BETWEEN
