Please help me with an Informx SQL query to be run every Friday.
Period: 1st of the Month to the Thursday before the Friday that it is being run on. I can't just choose date ranges as it will be an auto report so the dates needs to update automatically. Is there a way to do this?
You've got two issues: the start of the month and the date of last Thursday. The simplest expression to identify the 1st day of the current month is:
MDY(MONTH(TODAY), 1, YEAR(TODAY))
The way to identify the most recent Thursday is via a CASE statement on WEEKDAY(TODAY). Something like:
CASE
WHEN WEEKDAY(TODAY) < 5 -- (Sunday (0) - Thursday (4))
THEN TODAY - WEEKDAY(TODAY) - 3 -- Calc last Sunday, back 3 days
ELSE TODAY - WEEKDAY(TODAY) + 4 -- Calc last Sunday, forward 4 days
END
Note, you will still run into issues where the 1st of current month is later than the most recent Thursday. But hopefully the examples above will point you in the right direction.
Of course, if you know this report is only ever going to be run on Fridays, then calculating the most recent Thursday is just TODAY -1.

I have a date in sql which will always fall on a Monday and I'm subtracting 13 weeks to get a weekly report. I am trying to get the same 13 week report but for last year's figures as well.
At the moment, I'm using the following:
calendar_date >= TRUNC(sysdate) - 91
which is working fine.
I need the same for last year.
However, when I split this into calendar weeks, there will also be a partially complete week as it will include 1 or 2 days from the previous week. I need only whole weeks.
e.g. the dates that will be returned for last year will be 14-Feb-2015 to 16-May-2015. I need it to start on the Monday and be 16-Feb-2015. This will change each week as I am only interested in complete weeks...
I would do this:
Get the date by substracting 91 days as you're already doing.
Get the number of the day of the week with TO_CHAR(DATE,'d')
Add the number of days until the next monday to the date.
Something like this:
SELECT TO_DATE(TO_DATE('16/05/2015','DD/MM/YYYY'),'DD/MM/YYYY')-91 + MOD(7 - TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(TO_DATE('16/05/2015','DD/MM/YYYY'),'DD/MM/RRRR')-91,'d'))+1,7) d
FROM dual
next_day - returns date of first weekday named by char.
with dates as (select to_date('16/05/2015','DD/MM/YYYY') d from dual)
select
trunc(next_day( trunc(d-91) - interval '1' second,'MONDAY'))
from dates;
I want to get next monday from calculated date. In situation when calculated date is monday i have to move back to previous week ( -1 second).
I need some help in writing an SQL in SQL Server where I need to count number of rows group by weeks. There is a tricky description of week which is following
- For any date before 08/13/2015 the week is of 7 days (i.e. from Thu through Wed)
- For date 08/13/2015 the week is consider a 9 day week (i.e. from Thursday through Friday so its between 08/13/2015 through 08/21/2015)
- For date 08/22/2015 the week is back to 7 days (i.e. Sat through Friday)
Now having said all the above the result I want to see in my report is the following way . NOTE: WE column in the below attached image is the last day of the week for the range.

Just write a case statement for the 3 different options. You can find the start day with something like this:
DATEADD(week, DATEDIFF(day, 3,getdate()) / 7, 3) -- Thursdays
DATEADD(week, DATEDIFF(day, 5,getdate()) / 7, 5) -- Saturdays
The numbers 3 and 5 come from the fact that day 0 (=1.1.1900) is Monday.
If you use this a lot, it might be a good idea to write a inline table valued function to return the dates you need.
I am having a problem with making a Oracle Query that sums up everything that occurs during the whole last week and everything during this week. so lets say i have this table
DATA DATE
3 2-feb-15
4 3-feb-15
6 3-feb-15
7 27-jan-2015
5 27-jan-2015
4 25-jan-2015
so lets today is feb 5th and the query this week should be 3+4+6 assuming that sunday is feb 1st. The this week's data range should be (feb 2nd - feb 5th) minus sunday.
and the sum for last week should be 7+5+4 no matter what date today is as long as it still last week from Monday to saturday
Another case is, if todays date is feb 2nd, then the sum should be 3.
Please help me, i tried with SYSDATE - (Var) and it doesnt work because it doesnt position the date according to the calendar
thank you very very much
try this :
trunc(sysdate)
I hope its working if its not please give me more detail of your problem
Using NetSuite, I am trying to automate the creation of monthly tasks. These tasks will fall on the last day of the month, a day before, and 1,2,3,4,5 days after the last day of the month. But, the tasks can't be due on a weekend, only business days. So if the day falls on a sat or sun the dates have to move up. How can I use my custom record to calculate the next months task dates skipping weekends? Here is a screenshot of the record - see that 10/4 and 10/5 fall on saturday and sunday, how can I have it skip sat and sunday? I used the sql function option to generate the dates and days of the week.
I tested the following formula. Replace custbody_date with your field name. This formula should be set in your 'next month' column.
CASE WHEN INSTR(to_char({custbody_date}, 'DAY'),'SATURDAY') != 0
THEN {custbody_date}+2
WHEN INSTR(to_char({custbody_date}, 'DAY'),'SUNDAY') != 0
THEN {custbody_date}+1 ELSE {custbody_date}
END
This should also give you an idea to set the value for 'Next Month Day' (skipping saturday and sunday).
I have two current SQL queries that I currently use to compare GM% from previous year vs. GM% this year. This is a daily report that I run every morning. The date arithmetic is not very solid and I am trying to find an alternative. Previously I thought that the report would only be for Monday forward, and not including the current day (ie if ran on Tuesday, it would only pull Monday. If ran on Monday it would not pull anything.) Recently that has changed to where when the report is ran on Monday, they want to see Friday-Sunday. What I am considering is setting it to pull the previous 5 day, not including the current day. (Ran on Monday would pull Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun.) The problem is that it has to be a day this year vs same day last year comparison. Anyone who;s tried this knows that it is not easy to get this. Here is my current code for the date arithmetic. I am at a loss guys, I could use some help.
Where DB1.TB1.CLM1>=Current Date-364 days - (DAYOFWEEK(CURRENT DATE) - 2) DAYS
And DB1.TB1.CLM1< Current Date- 364 days
If I hear you right, on Tuesday you would pull stats for Monday. Wed, you pull stats for Mon-Tues. Friday, you pull Mon-Thurs. And for all of these, you need the equivalent day prior year.
The trick is that now on Monday, you need to pull the previous weekend, i.e. Thu-Sun.
You have not defined what to do on Sunday, so I'm leaving that case out.
Try this WHERE statement:
where
( -- do this after Monday
dayofweek(current date) > 2 and
DB1.TB1.CLM1 between ((current date - 364 days) - (dayofweek(current date) - 2) days) and (current_date - 365 days)
)
or
( -- do this on Monday
dayofweek(current date) = 2 and
DB1.TB1.CLM1 between (current date - 368 days) and (current date - 365 days)
)
