SQL query that displays the current date and count of days between two specific dates - sql

Question

I am trying to write a SQL query that shows the count of the days and date depending upon the financial period it falls in. The financial period starts 5 days before the month end eg march 27th to 26th April
For the above mentioned period if the day is 29th march, the count of the day should be 3 and the date should be 2020-04. The date should adjust depending upon the period it falls in.
I tried to adress the second part of this query by writing the below script but it does not bring any result
declare #date datetime
set #date = getdate()
SELECT format (date,'yyyy-MM-dd') as date
where #date
between dateadd(day,-5,EOMONTH(getdate(),-1)) and dateadd(day,-5,EOMONTH(getdate()))

Answer 1

updated to include 5 days from previous month.
Is this what you are looking for the second part?
Edit: Modifying the query. I guess this should give you what you need for both the parts.
you can try changing the dates in set #date.
Please note that the -4 instead of -5 is done intentionally as you said the financial month starts 5 days earlier. For March, 31 - 5 would give 26, but it should start on 27 right? so that on 29th the no. of days should be 3 including 27 and 29. Anyways, the query should be self explanatory, might just need to change the number depending on your requirement.
declare #date datetime
--set #date = getdate()
set #date = '2020-02-14'
SELECT format(#date,'yyyy-MM-dd') as date,
case WHEN #date < dateadd(day,-4,EOMONTH(#date)) THEN format(EOMONTH(#date),'yyyy-MM')
ELSE format(EOMONTH(#date, 1),'yyyy-MM') END
AS FinancialMonth,
CASE WHEN #date < dateadd(day,-4,EOMONTH(#date)) THEN DATEDIFF(day,dateadd(day,-5,EOMONTH(#date,-1)), #date)
ELSE DATEDIFF(day, dateadd(day,-5,EOMONTH(#date)), #date) END
AS CountDays

The following code will calculate what you need. Please read the comments in the code itself.
-- First, lets declare all the variables we need.
-- I tried to name them so they are selfexplanatory.
declare #inputdate DateTime,
#financialPeriodStartDate DateTime,
#EndOfTheMonth DateTime,
#nextFinantialMonthYear DateTime,
#previousFinancialPeriodStartDate DateTime
-- Now we calculate some of the values
set #inputdate = GETDATE() -- Let's use Today's date, but you can change this to any date.
set #EndOfTheMonth = EOMONTH(#inputdate) -- This is the end of the month for the input date
set #financialPeriodStartDate = DATEADD(DAY,-5,EOMONTH(#inputdate)) -- This is you Financial Period Start Date for the giving input date.
set #previousFinancialPeriodStartDate = DATEADD(DAY,-5,EOMONTH(DATEADD(MONTH, -1, #inputdate))) -- Also calculates the Start Date of the precious financial period.
set #nextFinantialMonthYear = DATEADD(MONTH, 1,#financialPeriodStartDate) -- This is the start date of the next financial period.
-- In the following Select, it calculates the values you need, based in the previous variables.
select
#inputdate as Today,
#EndOfTheMonth as EndOfMonth,
#previousFinancialPeriodStartDate as PreviousFinancialPeriodStartDate,
#financialPeriodStartDate as FinacialPeriodStartDate,
CASE WHEN DATEDIFF(DAY , #financialPeriodStartDate, #inputdate + 1 ) < 0
THEN DATEDIFF(DAY , #previousFinancialPeriodStartDate, #inputdate + 1 )
WHEN DATEDIFF(DAY , #financialPeriodStartDate, #inputdate + 1 ) >=0
THEN DATEDIFF(DAY , #financialPeriodStartDate, #inputdate + 1 )
END as DaysFromFPStartDate,
STR(YEAR(#nextFinantialMonthYear)) +'-'+LTRIM(RTRIM(STR(MONTH(#nextFinantialMonthYear)))) as NextFinantialPeriodMonthAndYear
I hope it helps.
