I've SSRS sales report to which I need to pass the dates for previous month's start date and end date which I am able to pass using below code. However, since the sales report has data from the past year(2014) I need to pass the dates for last year as well. The below code gives StartDate1 as 2015-02-01 and EndDate1 as 2015-02-28. I need to get the dates for past year like 2014-02-01 as StartDate2 and 2014-02-28 as EndDate2
SELECT DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000201', GETDATE()), '19000101') AS StartDate1,
DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000101', GETDATE()), '18991231') AS EndDate1
Since last day of month can vary, the important thing is to get the first day of the current month this year. From that you can calculate the other three values.
You could do this easily with expressions in the parameters' default values instead.
Start of Month
=Today.AddDays(1-Today.Day)
End of Month
=Today.AddDays(1-Today.Day).AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1)
Start of Month Last Year
=Today.AddDays(1-Today.Day).AddYears(-1)
End of Month Last Year:
=Today.AddDays(1-Today.Day).AddYears(-1).AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1)
But if you really want to do it in SQL, you can. Note below I'm describing how to get the start of month and then just using placeholder variables for it in the other expressions for clarity.
--Start of Month
dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, getdate()), 0)
--End of Month
dateadd(day, -1, dateadd(month, 1, #StartOfMonth))
--Start of Month Last Year
dateadd(year, -1, #StartOfMonth)
--End of Month Last Year
dateadd(day, -1, dateadd(month, 1, #StartOfMonthLastYear))
Those are the pieces. Put them together into one giant, very hard to read select statement like so:
select
dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, getdate()), 0) StartDate1,
dateadd(day, -1, dateadd(month, 1, dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, getdate()), 0))) EndDate1,
dateadd(year, -1, dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, getdate()), 0)) StartDate2,
dateadd(day, -1, dateadd(month, 1, dateadd(year, -1, dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, getdate()), 0)))) EndDate2
Now you see why I recommend just using internal parameters that can leverage the .NET datetime class methods.
How could I get the first business day of the current month?
Without create a function, only select.
something like that:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),DATEADD(dd,-(DAY(GETDATE())-1), GETDATE()), 101)
somebody knows please?
Thanks.
A Simple case statement could do it
SELECT CASE
WHEN DATENAME(WEEKDAY, dateadd(mm, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, getdate()), 0)) = 'Saturday'
THEN dateadd(mm, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, getdate()), 0) + 2
WHEN DATENAME(WEEKDAY, dateadd(mm, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, getdate()), 0)) = 'Sunday'
THEN dateadd(mm, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, getdate()), 0) + 1
ELSE dateadd(mm, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, getdate()), 0)
END
This will literally give you what you're asking for -- the first business day in a month if we define a business day as "any day that's not a Saturday or a Sunday". But this is is a very narrow definition of "business day" that is not appropriate when taking into account holidays and cultural differences, so it generalizes poorly. The typical solution for this problem is to create a table that actually holds the working days (which is generated somewhere just before he year, or calculated in advance if that's feasible), and simply look it up in that.
SELECT DATEADD(DAY,
CASE
(DATEPART(WEEKDAY, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()), 0)) + ##DATEFIRST - 1) % 7
WHEN 6 THEN 2
WHEN 7 THEN 1
ELSE 0
END,
DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
)
This solution uses ##DATEFIRST to avoid any language issues -- using DATEPART(WEEKDAY, ...) on its own or DATENAME() only works if we assume a specific region.
If you have more flexibility in your SELECT statement, you might be able to use something like this:
;With Daterange As
(
Select DateAdd(Month, DateDiff(Month, 0, GetDate()), 0) As Date Union All
Select DateAdd(Day, 1, Date) As Date
From DateRange
Where Date < DateAdd(Day, 6, DateAdd(Month, DateDiff(Month, 0, GetDate()), 0))
)
Select Convert(Date, Min(Date)) FirstBusinessDay
From Daterange
Where DatePart(WeekDay, Date) Not In (7, 1)
Try this.
SELECT CASE
WHEN Datename(dw, Dateadd(dd, -Datepart(dd, Getdate()) + 1, Getdate())) = 'Saturday' THEN Dateadd(dd, -Datepart(dd, Getdate()) + 3, Getdate())
WHEN Datename(dw, Dateadd(dd, -Datepart(dd, Getdate()) + 1, Getdate())) = 'Sunday' THEN Dateadd(dd, -Datepart(dd, Getdate()) + 2, Getdate())
ELSE Dateadd(dd, -Datepart(dd, Getdate()) + 1, Getdate())
END
Explanation :
Find the first day of the month.
Dateadd(dd, -Datepart(dd, Getdate()) + 1, Getdate())
Then check the day of the previous date by using Datename function.
Datename(dw, Dateadd(dd, -Datepart(dd, Getdate()) + 1, Getdate()))
If the Datename is Saturday the add 2 days to the first day of the month . if it is sunday then add 1 day to the first day of the month else get the first day of the month
I have wrote SQL to select user data for last three months, but I think at the moment it updates daily.
I want to change it so that as it is now October it will not count Octobers data but instead July's to September data and change to August to October when we move in to November
This is the SQL I got at the moment:
declare #Today datetime
declare #Category varchar(40)
set #Today = dbo.udf_DateOnly(GETDATE())
set #Category = 'Doctors active last three months updated'
declare #last3monthsnew datetime
set #last3monthsnew=dateadd(m,-3,dbo.udf_DateOnly(GETDATE()))
delete from LiveStatus_tbl where Category = #Category
select #Category, count(distinct U.userid)
from UserValidUKDoctor_vw U
WHERE LastLoggedIn >= #last3monthsnew
How would I edit this to do that?
WHERE LastLoggedIn >= DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE())-3, 0)
AND LastLoggedIn < DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
The above statement will return any results in July till before the start of current month.
Referencing this answer to get the first day of the month:
How can I select the first day of a month in SQL?
You can detect the month limitations like so:
select DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, getdate()) - 3, 0) AS StartOfMonth
select DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, getdate()), 0) AS EndMonth
Then you can add that into variables or directly into your WHERE clause:
declare #StartDate datetime
declare #EndDate datetime
set #StartDate = DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, getdate()) - 3, 0)
set #EndDate = DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, getdate()), 0)
select #Category, count(distinct U.userid)
from UserValidUKDoctor_vw U
where LastLoggedIn >= #StartDate AND LastLoggedIn < #EndDate
Or:
select #Category, count(distinct U.userid)
from UserValidUKDoctor_vw U
where LastLoggedIn >= DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, getdate()) - 3, 0)
and LastLoggedIn < DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, getdate()), 0)
How about using BETWEEN ?
WHERE LastLoggedIn
BETWEEN
DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE())-3, 0)
AND
DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
With SQL Server, I have a column with a launch date (dateTime). I want to report on everything that is being launched between all of last month (from viewing date) thru all of this month and next month.
So basically a full 3 month period.
What is the best way to write that?
Are you looking for something like this?
DECLARE
#StartDate DATETIME,
#EndDate DATETIME
SELECT
#StartDate = DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()) - 1, 0),
#EndDate = DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()) + 2, 0)
-- DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()), 0), -- beginning of this month
-- DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()) - 1, 0), -- beginning of last month
-- DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()) + 1, 0) -- beginning of next month
-- DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()) + 2, 0) -- beginning of two months from now
SELECT
*
FROM
[Table]
WHERE
[LaunchDate] >= #StartDate
AND [LaunchDate] < #EndDate
This will give you all the results starting from the beginning of the previous month and before the beginning of two months from now (a full 3 month range)
Maybe something like SELECT /*what_you_want*/ from launches WHERE lauchDate BETWEEN DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000101', GETDATE()) - 1, '19000101') AND DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000101', GETDATE()) + 2, '19000101')
SELECT Foo
FROM Bar
WHERE LaunchDate >= DATEADD(mm, -1, GETDATE())
AND LaunchDate <= DATEADD(mm, 1, GETDATE())
I am trying to list last a website's statistics.
I listed Last 30 days with;
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), S.DATEENTERED, 101)
BETWEEN
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE()-30, 101)
AND
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101)
and this month with;
RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), S.DATEENTERED, 103), 7) =
RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 103), 7)
but I have no idea what query to use for last month. I tried with;
RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), S.DATEENTERED, 103), 7) =
RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE()-1, 103), 7)
Did not work.
Dates are always a joy to work with in any programming language, SQL not excluded.
To answer your question to find all records that occurred last month
select S.DATEENTERED
,*
from sometable S
where S.DATEENTERED
between dateadd(mm, datediff(mm, 0, dateadd(MM, -1, getdate())), 0)
and dateadd(ms, -3, dateadd(mm, datediff(mm, 0, dateadd(MM, -1, getdate())) + 1, 0))
order by 1
To expand the best means for getting records within a certain time-frame is by utilizing the datediff function, dateadd function, and the between condition in the where clause.
select 'howdy'
,getdate()
where getdate()
between dateadd(mm, 0, 0)
and dateadd(ms, -3, dateadd(mm, datediff(mm, 0, dateadd(mm,-1,getutcdate())) + 1, 0))
The above code will result in no records returned because it is checking to see if today's date is between 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000 and the last possible recorded date of last month (the last day and 23:59:59.997 - SQL Server DATETIME columns have at most a 3 millisecond resolution).
The following code will return a record as the date we are searching for is one month ago.
select 'howdy'
,dateadd(mm, -1, getdate())
where dateadd(mm, -1, getdate())
between dateadd(mm, 0, 0)
and dateadd(ms, -3, dateadd(mm, datediff(mm, 0, dateadd(mm,-1,getutcdate())) + 1, 0))
A break down of the where clause:
WHERE getdate() -- date to check
between dateadd(mm, 0, 0) -- begin date
and dateadd(ms, -3, dateadd(mm, datediff(mm, 0, dateadd(mm,-1,getutcdate())) + 1, 0)) -- end date
Finally, a variety of dates can be ascertained in this manner here is a pretty complete list:
select dateadd(mm, 0, 0) as BeginningOfTime
,dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, getdate()), 0) as Today
,dateadd(wk, datediff(wk, 0, getdate()), 0) as ThisWeekStart
,dateadd(mm, datediff(mm, 0, getdate()), 0) as ThisMonthStart
,dateadd(qq, datediff(qq, 0, getdate()), 0) as ThisQuarterStart
,dateadd(yy, datediff(yy, 0, getdate()), 0) as ThisYearStart
,dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, getdate()) + 1, 0) as Tomorrow
,dateadd(wk, datediff(wk, 0, getdate()) + 1, 0) as NextWeekStart
,dateadd(mm, datediff(mm, 0, getdate()) + 1, 0) as NextMonthStart
,dateadd(qq, datediff(qq, 0, getdate()) + 1, 0) as NextQuarterStart
,dateadd(yy, datediff(yy, 0, getdate()) + 1, 0) as NextYearStart
,dateadd(ms, -3, dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, getdate()) + 1, 0)) as TodayEnd
,dateadd(ms, -3, dateadd(wk, datediff(wk, 0, getdate()) + 1, 0)) as ThisWeekEnd
,dateadd(ms, -3, dateadd(mm, datediff(mm, 0, getdate()) + 1, 0)) as ThisMonthEnd
,dateadd(ms, -3, dateadd(qq, datediff(qq, 0, getdate()) + 1, 0)) as ThisQuarterEnd
,dateadd(ms, -3, dateadd(yy, datediff(yy, 0, getdate()) + 1, 0)) as ThisYearEnd
Using the above list a range of any type can be determined.
The following will find you the start of the last month:
-- Start of last month
SELECT CAST('01 '+ RIGHT(CONVERT(CHAR(11),DATEADD(MONTH,-1,GETDATE()),113),8) AS datetime)
You would then find the start of this month, using the following, minus one.
-- Start of the month
SELECT CAST('01 '+ RIGHT(CONVERT(CHAR(11),GETDATE(),113),8) AS datetime)
When I have to work with dates in SQL Server I often reference Robyn Page's SQL Server DATE/TIME Workbench. The workbench (tutorial) is well laid out and contains just about everything I have ever needed when working with dates on SQL Server.
How about this?
select DATEADD(month, -1, GETDATE())
I would suggest using the first day of last month and the first day of the current month for the operation and rather than using BETWEEN use >= and <. That's my personal opinion, but I believe you will find there are performance and maintainability benefits to this approach.
Here's the sql. You will notice I've included the last day of the last month value just in case you end up going with another approach.
Keep in mind, these dates are based off of 12:00AM that day. In other words, getting values between 6/1/2009 and 6/30/2009 won't get you what you want as all of 6/30/2009 is excluded. If you use the first day of July (7/1/2009) you are covered.
Again, I recommend avoiding BETWEEN all together as shown below. Best of luck.
Declare #LastMonthFirstDay datetime
Declare #LastMonthLastDay datetime
Declare #ThisMonthFirstDay datetime
Set #LastMonthFirstDay = DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) - 1, 0);
Set #ThisMonthFirstDay = DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), 0);
Set #LastMonthLastDay = DATEADD(DAY, -1, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), 0));
Select * From Table
Where DateEntered >= #LastMonthFirstDay
And DateEntered < #ThisMonthFirstDay;
Try using the DATEADD function. You can add a -1 with the MONTH (mm) datepart and it should work. Here is a link
where year(S.DATEENTERED) = year(dateadd(mm, -1, getdate())) and month(S.DATEENTERED) = month(dateadd(mm, -1, getdate()))
Might not be good performance-wise but you've got the idea.
GET FIRST DAY OF LAST MONTH
SELECT DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, '01/01/2000', DATEADD(MM, -1,GETDATE())), '01/01/2000')
GET LAST DAY OF LAST MONTH
SELECT DATEADD(SS,-1,DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM,'01/01/2000',GETDATE()),'01/01/2000'))
Then search based on this range.
Try:
declare #lastm int
set #lastm = datepart(mm,getdate()) - 1
...
where datepart(mm,s.dateentered) = #lastm
