i need help on my little problem.
SELECT FORMAT(ServiceDate, 'dd-MM-yyy") AS ServiceDate
FROM Services
WHERE Day(ServiceDate) BETWEEN '1' AND Day(getdate() -2)
AND Month(ServiceDate) =
CASE
WHEN Day(getdate()) <=2
THEN Month(getdate() -1
ELSE Month(getdate())
END
AND Year(ServiceDate) = Year(getdate())
Now the problem is the first and the second of the Month.
The query don't use the last month. It shows the actual month.
I hope its clear what i need.
if we have the 01-06-2016 and i need minus 2, so the query must give me back to the day 30-05-2016
big THX
the output for today with this query
output query
Assuming you are using sql-server, you need to use DATEADD(Day, -2, GETDATE()) for subtracting 2 days from current date.
I think I understand the logic now:
If the current day is the 1st of the month, get all the records from the start of previous month, until 2 days before it ends.
If the current day is the 2nd of the month, get all the records from the start of the previous month until one day before it ends.
If the current day is the 3rd of the month or higher, get all the records from the beginning of the current month until 2 days ago.
Since you are using the FORMAT() function that was introduced in 2012 version, you can also use the EOMONTH() function that was introduced in the same version.
This function returns the date of the end of the month of the date it receives as an argument, and also have a useful optional second argument that specifies the numbers of months to add to the date passed to the function.
Using this function will allow you to write your query without using any functions on the ServiceDate column, thus enabling the use of any indexes defined on this column.
DECLARE #Now datetime = GETDATE()
SELECT FORMAT(ServiceDate, 'dd-MM-yyy') AS ServiceDate
FROM Services
WHERE (
DAY(#Now) <= 2
AND ServiceDate >= DATEADD(DAY, 1, EOMONTH(#Now, -2))
AND ServiceDate < DATEADD(DAY, -(DAY(#Now)-1), EOMONTH(#Now, -1))
)
OR
(
DAY(GETDATE()) > 2
AND ServiceDate >= DATEADD(DAY, 1, EOMONTH(#Now, -1))
AND ServiceDate < DATEADD(DAY, -2, #Now)
)
Compute enddate as 2 days before getdate() and select data in interval from enddate's first of month and enddate.
SELECT FORMAT(ServiceDate, 'dd-MM-yyy") AS ServiceDate
FROM Services
CROSS APPLY (SELECT enddate = DATEADD(D,-2,getdate()) x
WHERE ServiceDate BETWEEN DATEADD(MONTH,DATEDIFF(MONTH,0,x.enddate),0) AND x.enddate

I am trying to do a stored procedure where I will get all people that have there StartDate value strictly equal to today's day -7 days. So I can activate them 7 days before getting to there start date.
For example I have a user 'test1' that his StartDate ='2020-12-08 00:00:00.000'
So my query should get only this record cause his
StartDate = Today's date - 7 days.
StartDate is my record that I check
CREATE PROCEDURE ActivePersonXdaysBeforeStartDate
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT *
FROM Person
WHERE Active = 0
AND DATEADD (DAY, -7, StartDate) = GETDATE()
END
But this is not working any tips on how to do that? Thank you
Presumably, you want:
select *
from person
where active = 0 and startdate < dateadd (day, -7, convert(date, getdate()))
This brings all rows that are not active and whose startdate is (strictly) less than 7 days before today (not including the time component of today).
I have two date columns, which takes into account only working days. A_date and E_date.
E_date is calculated adding +2 days to A_date, because that's the request
The problem is that if the day of A_date is 30th or 31st of the month, then E_date date needs to be the last day of the current month, and not the first or second working day of the next month.
i have tried eomonth function but that does not work because it would need a explicit date.
Do you have any idea how to solve it?
You can use EOMONTH() in SQLServer to get the last day of the month.
Example:
EOMONTH(A_date)
SELECT CASE WHEN dateadd(month,1+datediff(month,0,A_date),-1)< DATEADD(day, 2, A_date) THEN dateadd(month,1+datediff(month,0,A_date),-1) ELSE DATEADD(day, 2, A_date) END E_date
FOR input of 2019/09/30 output is 2019-09-30 00:00:00.000
I'm not sure what your question is. What I've understood so far is that you want the last date of the month in case when adding two days to A_Date jumps to the next month.
Why don't you use CASE WHEN and compare out the months, this way :
DECLARE #A_Date date = '2019/09/30';
DECLARE #A_Date_Month int = 0;
DECLARE #E_Date_Month int = 0;
SELECT #A_Date_Month = Month(Cast(#A_Date AS datetime));
SELECT #E_Date_Month = Month(DATEADD(day, 2, #A_Date));
SELECT CASE
WHEN #A_Date_Month = #E_Date_Month
THEN DATEADD(day, 2, #A_Date)
ELSE EOMONTH(#A_Date) END AS OUTPUTValue
Try out the above set and do let me know if it resolves your issue!
How to get from a date column the last date of the previous month?
It depends on your RDBMS, so let's take the opportunity to make a generic answer:
In Oracle:
LAST_DAY(ADD_MONTHS(mydate ,-1))
In MySQL:
LAST_DAY(mydate - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
In SQL Server:
DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, -1, mydate )-1, -1)
-- or simply:
EOMONTH(DATEADD(Month, -1, mydate ))
In Postgres:
date_trunc('month', now())::mydate - 1
have two date columns, which takes into account only working days. A_date and E_date. E_date is calculated adding +2 days to A_date, because that's the request
I would simply do:
(case when dateadd(day, 2, a_date) < eomonth(a_date)
then dateadd(day, 2, a_date)
else eomonth(a_date)
end) as e_date
If you truly want this only on the 30th or 31st of any given month and not the last 2 days of any month (since obviously not every month has 31 days) --
select A_date
,case when day(A_date) >= 30
then eomonth(A_date)
else dateadd("dd",2,A_date)
end as E_date
Other answers work for "last 2 days of any month".
I have this simple query that returns previous day's data.
SELECT * FROM mytable
WHERE DATEDIFF(day,CONVERT(datetime,mytable.mydate, 121),GETDATE()) = 1
Using this query becomes an issue on Mondays since the previous day is Sunday but there is no data on Sunday.
So I would like the query to retrieve Friday's data (last activity) on Monday
Any ideas how to do this?
Just a little note about date data type. The date field is of VARCHAR data type.
I inherited the database and has been in use now for over 10 years.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
How about this?
SELECT TOP 1 WITH TIES t.*
FROM mytable t
WHERE mydate < CAST(getdate() as DATE) -- assume mydate is a date
ORDER BY CAST(mydate as DATE) DESC;
This will get the most recent day's data in the table, for any day where there is data.
EDIT:
Apparently, mydate is stored in a varchar. This is a bad idea, but if you are going to do it, then format 121 is a very good choice. I would modify the above as:
SELECT TOP 1 WITH TIES t.*
FROM mytable t
WHERE mydate < CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), getdate(), 121)
ORDER BY LEFT(mydate, 10) DESC;
Note: this does the comparison of the dates as strings. But that is okay, because the dates are in the format YYYY-MM-DD, which is comparable. If performance is an issue, I would advise a computed column on mydate (to convert to a datetime or date) with an index on the column.
You could try something like this. It asumes sunday at the first day of the week.
SELECT * FROM mytable
WHERE DATEDIFF(day,CONVERT(datetime,mytable.mydate, 121),GETDATE()) = case datepart(dw, GETDATE())
when 2 then 3 --read 3 days back on a monday
when 1 then 2 --read 2 days back on a sunday
else 1 end
Declare a datetime variable, and, with DATEPART(), determine which day of the week GETDATE() is (which day the query is being run). Then, on Mondays, change our date by negative two days.
declare #queryDate datetime;
set #queryDate = case when DATEPART(dw, GETDATE()) = 1 then DATEADD(d, -2, GETDATE()) else GETDATE() end;
select * from mytable
where DATEDIFF(day,CONVERT(datetime,mytable.mydate, 121),#queryDate) = 1
I'm hoping to find a solution for this to automate a report I have. Basically what I'm trying to accomplish here is grabbing a date (first day of previous month, two years ago through last day of previous month current year).
So the date span if running this month would look like this: between 4/1/2013 and 3/31/2015
I have found code to get the date two years ago but I'm not able to also incorporate the month functions... Any help is very much appreciated!
For year I'm using this:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),DATEADD(year,-2,GETDATE()),101)
First day of previous month 2 years ago:
SELECT CONVERT(DATE,dateadd(day, -1, dateadd(day, 1 - day(GETDATE()), GETDATE())))
Last day of last month:
SELECT CONVERT(DATE,DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, DATEADD(year,-2,GETDATE())), 0))
Then just do whatever logic you need with them
Your where clause can look something like this:
where date >= cast(dateadd(year, -2,
dateadd(month, -1, getdate() - day(getdate()) + 1)
) as date) and
date < cast(getdate() - day(getdate()) + 1 as date)
This makes use of the handy convenience that subtracting/adding a number to a datetime is the same as adding a date. The start date says: get the first day of the month, then subtract one month, then subtract two years. This could have been done as dateadd(month, -25, . . .), but I think separating the logic is clearer.
This gives you two dates you are looking for:
SELECT
CAST((DATEADD(yy, -2, DATEADD(d, -1 * DATEPART(dd, getdate()) + 1 , GETDATE() ))) as date) as yourTwoYearsAgoDate,
CAST((DATEADD(d, -1 * DATEPART(dd, GETDATE()), GETDATE())) as date) as yourEndOfLastMonthDate
Given a reference date (e.g. "today"),
declare #today date = '23 April 2015'
The 1st of the month is computed by subtracting 1 less than the day number of the current month:
select first_of_current_month = dateadd(day,1-day(#today),#today)
The last day of the previous month is day 0 of the current month, so to get the last day of the previous month, just subtract the current day number:
select last_of_previous_month = dateadd(day,-day(#today),#today)
Moving two years back is easy:
select two_years_back = dateadd(year,-2, #today )
Putting it all together, this should do you:
declare #today date = '23 April 2015'
select *
first_day_of_current_month = dateadd(day,1-day(#today),#today),
last_day_of_previous_month = dateadd(day, -day(#today),#today) ,
date_from = dateadd(year,-2, dateadd(day,1-day(#today),#today) ) ,
date_thru = dateadd(day, -day(#today),#today)
yielding the expected results:
first_day_of_current_month: 2015-04-01
last_day_of_previous_month: 2015-03-31
date_from : 2013-04-01
date_thru : 2015-03-31
So you should be able to say something like this:
select *
from foo t
where t.transaction_date between dateadd(year,-2, dateadd(day,1-day(#today),#today) )
and dateadd(day, -day(#today),#today)
If you have to deal with datetime values rather than date, its easier to not use between and say something like this:
declare #today date = current_timestamp -- get the current date without a time component
select *
from foo t
where t.transaction_date >= dateadd(year,-2, dateadd(day,1-day(#today),#today) )
and t.transaction_date < dateadd(year, 0, dateadd(day, -day(#today),#today)
[superfluous addition of 0 years added for clarity]
I have a table similar to one below. I'm trying to select only the rows where the Start Date is in the current month. Here is what I have so far, but it's not working.
SELECT *
FROM TABLE1
WHERE StartDate = MONTH(getdate())
How can I select only the values where the start date is in the current month?
Use this construct to avoid functions on the StartDate columns (like MONTH or YEAR). These functions will prevent any index or statistics being used/
SELECT *
FROM TABLE1
WHERE
StartDate >= DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
AND StartDate < DATEADD(month, 1+DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
Any answer that puts a function on StartDate will not scale as expected. See error number 2 here. The filter is now non-sargable, and index/statistics can't be used. Every row will be looked at for a table scan.
You need to check the month of both fields
WHERE MONTH(startdate) = MONTH(getdate())
