SQL Countdown to Date with Variable changes - sql

I'm trying to write a query to give me a countdown column that counts to a different number based on another variable in the row.
So if the data in column 'a_type' is '3', I need it to count down starting at 30 days, for all other scenarios I need it to count down starting at 60 days.
I've got the countdown part working, just not the dynamic change. Any help would be awesome!
SELECT disturbance_date,dist_type,daysleft = DATEDIFF(DAY, getdate(), DATEADD(DAY, 60, disturbance_date))
FROM cwr_prime
Below is the result I'd like to achieve:

If I'm reading the question correctly, I think you may be looking for a CASE expression inside your DATEADD function.
SELECT
ID,
a_date,
a_type,
daysleft = DATEDIFF
(
DAY,
getdate(),
DATEADD(DAY, CASE WHEN a_type = 3 THEN 30 ELSE 60 END, a_date)
)
FROM a_table;

Get data from certain date to last 10 days in SQL

I want to get data from certain date to last 10 days. I have tried the following code but it is not working.
DECLARE #wrking_date DATE = '2022-02-08'
SELECT
a,
CAST(LogDate as date) as theDate,
b,c
FROM magic_table
Where b = '123'
AND #wrking_date >= DATEADD(DAY,10, GETDATE())
What I am doing wrong ?
EDIT
I have also tried adding AND LogDate between '2022-02-08' and DATEADD(DAY, -10, '2022-02-08') this does not work
As it's currently written, your query doesn't get filtered with your AND condition because neither GETDATE() not #wrking_date are part of the queried table. I'm assuming you want to filter based on the column LogDate. To get the values between #wrking_date and 10 days ago, you can use BETWEEN:
AND LogDate BETWEEN #wrking_date AND DATEADD(DAY, -10, GETDATE())
Notice this: To get the date from 10 days ago, you need to use -10 in the DATEADD function.
Edit
As I got from your comments, you're trying to get the data between the defined #working_date and 10 days back from there. You could achieve that by using this:
AND LogDate BETWEEN DATEADD(DAY, -10, #wrking_date) AND #wrking_date

Two columns with dates (one any day of week, another one WEEK ENDING DATE (SATURDAY) BASED ON 1st column)

I have such a situation.
I need to have 2 columns 1) Is just pull data from a table (just as it is) r.[RCLDTE] (Day of week)
and 2 column) I need to basically look at the first column and make it Saturday of that week.
SELECT r.[RCLDTE] AS 'Day of Week'
,r.[RCLDTE] AS 'Week Ending Day (Saturday)'
Before what I was doing at similar projects I just used this code and added to WHERE statement.
WHERE CONVERT(DATE, CONVERT(CHAR(8), r.[RCLDTE] )) = cast(DATEADD(dd, DATEPART(DW,GETDATE())*-1, GETDATE()) as date)
This code was changing the dates column to Saturday.
However, here I have a different situation. I need 2 columns 1) as it is and 2) where dates will be Saturdays of the week from r.[RCLDTE] column , as a result from the way how I understand I cannot use WHERE statement because it will affect both columns.
Does someone know how I can leave 1st column as it is and 2nd a column of Saturday.
Please let me know.
Thanks.
To avoid issues when someone changes either DATEFIRST or LANGUAGE settings, you can use this. Also, given that you are storing dates in a numeric column for some reason (you really should provide feedback to whoever owns the system so they can fix it), we have to first try to convert those values to a date (they may not all be valid, which is one of the problems with using the wrong data type):
;WITH t AS
(
SELECT *, ProperDate = CASE WHEN ISDATE(CONVERT(char(8), RCLDTE)) = 1
THEN CONVERT(date, CONVERT(char(8), RCLDTE)) END
FROM dbo.tablename
)
SELECT [Language] = ##language, [Datefirst] = ##datefirst,
RCLDTE = CASE WHEN ProperDate IS NULL THEN RCLDTE END,
[Day of Week] = ProperDate,
[Saturday] = DATEADD
(
DAY,
6 - ((DATEPART(WEEKDAY, ProperDate) + ##DATEFIRST - 1) % 7),
ProperDate
)
FROM t;
Updated db<>fiddle that also demonstrates the handling of garbage data and a version of SQL Server so old that TRY_CONVERT() didn't exist yet (at least 12 years ago).
here is one way :
select
r.RCLDTE AS 'Day of Week'
, dateadd(day, 7 - datepart(weekday, r.RCLDTE) , r.RCLDTE)
from tablename r

Group data in intervals

I need to group data in intervals of 15 (or X) minutes in sql.
For example, i have the next scenario.
The result that i expect to obtain is
I tried using Lag function but i dont get what i want, because it add interval to each row and continues grouping.
Thanks in advance and apologies for my bad english.
If you want the intervals to be calendar based -- i.e. four per hour starting at 0, 15, 30, and 45 minutes, then you can use:
select id, min(begin_date), max(begin_date)
from t
group by id, convert(date, begin_date),
datepart(hour, begin_date), datepart(minute, begin_date) / 15;
Note that begin date and end date have the same value, so I just used begin_date in this answer.

Get date for nth day of week in nth week of month

I have a column with values like '3rd-Wednesday', '2nd-Tuesday', 'Every-Thursday'.
I'd like to create a column that reads those strings, and determines if that date has already come this month, and if it has, then return that date of next month. If it has not passed yet for this month, then it would return the date for this month.
Expected results (on 4/22/16) from the above would be: '05-18-2016', '05-10-2016', '04-28-2016'.
I'd prefer to do it mathematically and avoid creating a calendar table if possible.
Thanks.
Partial answer, which is by no means bug free.
This doesn't cater for 'Every-' entries, but hopefully will give you some inspiration. I'm sure there are plenty of test cases this will fail on, and you might be better off writing a stored proc.
I did try to do this by calculating the day name and day number of the first day of the month, then calculating the next wanted day and applying an offset, but it got messy. I know you said no date table but the CTE simplifies things.
How it works
A CTE creates a calendar for the current month of date and dayname. Some rather suspect parsing code pulls the day name from the test data and joins to the CTE. The where clause filters to dates greater than the Nth occurrence, and the select adds 4 weeks if the date has passed. Or at least that's the theory :)
I'm using DATEFROMPARTS to simplify the code, which is a SQL 2012 function - there are alternatives on SO for 2008.
SELECT * INTO #TEST FROM (VALUES ('3rd-Wednesday'), ('2nd-Tuesday'), ('4th-Monday')) A(Value)
SET DATEFIRST 1
;WITH DAYS AS (
SELECT
CAST(DATEADD(MONTH,DATEDIFF(MONTH,0,GETDATE()),N.Number) AS DATE) Date,
DATENAME(WEEKDAY, DATEADD(MONTH,DATEDIFF(MONTH,0,GETDATE()),N.Number)) DayName
FROM master..spt_values N WHERE N.type = 'P' AND N.number BETWEEN 0 AND 31
)
SELECT
T.Value,
CASE WHEN MIN(D.Date) < GETDATE() THEN DATEADD(WEEK, 4, MIN(D.DATE)) ELSE MIN(D.DATE) END Date
FROM #TEST T
JOIN DAYS D ON REVERSE(SUBSTRING(REVERSE(T.VALUE), 1, CHARINDEX('-', REVERSE(T.VALUE)) -1)) = D.DayName
WHERE D.Date >=
DATEFROMPARTS(
YEAR(GETDATE()),
MONTH(GETDATE()),
1+ 7*(CAST(SUBSTRING(T.Value, 1,1) AS INT) -1)
)
GROUP BY T.Value
Value Date

SQL Server- selecting X amount of days between two dates

I have a table with two Columns Date Created and Date Modified and I need to select all of the items where the date modified is more than 5 day past the created date.
I can compare the two columns fine but have not found out how to get it to know how many days between the two.
Thanks for the help.
You can use Datediff function from SQL and specify that you want "day" as datepart.
See msdn documentation about this function.
As JamesZ stated, "day" as datepart will only check if we are past 5 days without checking if 5 days really elapsed. So I added both in the select statement. Just use the one you want.
SELECT NbDays = DATEDIFF(DAY, DateCreated, DateModified),
*
FROM [YourTable]
WHERE DATEDIFF(DAY, DateCreated, DateModified) > 5
Or
SELECT NbDaysElapsed = DATEDIFF(MILLISECOND, StartDateTime, ENDDateTime) / 86400000,
*
FROM [YourTable]
WHERE (DATEDIFF(MILLISECOND, StartDateTime, ENDDateTime) / 86400000) > 5
