I have a query (pasted below), and I would like to make it so that people don't need to update the completed date range. I would like for it to automatically just get results from last month. So if it is run in February, for example, it will give me results for all completed items that meet my criteria for January. Can anyone think of a way to do that?
select External_ID__c,
Ewrk_Tracking_Number__c,
PIF_Branch_Name,
Distribution_Branch_Name,
Transaction_Type__C,
submitter_date__c, Completed_Date__C,
COUNT(External_ID__c)
from Business_Solutions_D.dbo.Reporting_SalesForce_AspireBaseData
where PIF_Branch_Code = 977
and Completed_Date__C >= '2015-01-01'
and Completed_Date__C < '2015-02-01'
and Delete_Flag__C = 'FALSE'
group by External_ID__c,
Ewrk_Tracking_Number__c,
PIF_Branch_Name,
Distribution_Branch_Name,
Transaction_Type__C,
submitter_date__c,
Completed_Date__C
There is no "keyword" for last month. You have to put that in your predicates.
Here is an example of how to get some date values for this.
select dateadd(MONTH, datediff(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()), 0) as BeginningOfThisMonth
select dateadd(MONTH, datediff(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()) - 1, 0) as BeginningOfPreviousMonth
If you want to see a number of other date routines here is an excellent blog post with quite a few of them. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/blogs/lynnpettis/2009/03/25/some-common-date-routines/
If you mean the last month prior to this one, you can do it in two steps: first, find the first day of the current month
#firstDayOfThisMonth = DATEADD(day, DAY(GETDATE())-1, GETDATE())
then subtract one month:
#firstDayOfLastMonth = DATEADD(month, -1, #firstDayOfThisMonth)
Then your query would be:
and Completed_Date__C >= #firstDayOfLastMonth
and Completed_Date__C < #firstDayOfThisMonth
Another way would be to query where the difference (in months) between Completed_Date__C and the current date is 1:
and DATEDIFF(Completed_Date__C, GETDATE()) = 1
You can do this with date arithmetic. One trick to get the first date of the month is to subtract the current day of the month from the date and add one day. SQL Server allows you to do this with + and - instead of dateadd(), on a datetime value. Of course, you need to remove the time component as well (using cast( as date)).
The logic looks like this for the current month:
where Completed_Date__C >= cast(getdate() - day(getdate()) + 1 as date) and
Completed_Date__C < dateadd(month, 1, cast(getdate() - day(getdate()) + 1 as date))
And like this for the previous month:
where Completed_Date__C >= dateadd(month, -1, cast(getdate() - day(getdate()) + 1 as date)) and
Completed_Date__C < cast(getdate() - day(getdate()) + 1 as date)
This has the nice property that it is a sargeable as your original code, so it will take advantage of an index on the column, if appropriate.
You just need to have it do some date math to calculate it.
--Go to last day of prev month - 'Day' to account for varying month day counts
and Completed_Date__C >= GETDATE() - DATEPART(DAY, GETDATE()) - DATEPART(DAY, GETDATE() - DATEPART(DAY, GETDATE())) + 1
and Completed_Date__C < GETDATE() - DATEPART(DAY, GETDATE()) + 1
When you do additions on DateTimes + integer it assumes it day based addition.

I have following data in my table,
Table = BillHeader
Sales column = Sales
Date column = CreateDate
Location name = Location
Result needed:
Location
Sum_of_Sale_1
Sum_of_Sale_2
Sum_of_Sale_1 = Sum of Sales up to yesterday for this month.
Sum_of_Sale_2 = Sum of Sales up to same date range as Sum_of_Sale_1 during last month.
For example, if today is 20th of June, Sum_of_Sale_1 = Sum of sales from 1st June to 19th of June
and Sum_of_Sale_2 = Sum of sales from 1st May to 19th of May.
Basically what I need is these two results of different date ranges, which should be selected form the same three columns, should appear next to each other in the result. I want to know how the sales performance was last month's same date range as to this month's date range (up to yesterday for this month).
Thanks!!

Here is the actual current working code:
SET #FDM = DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
SELECT sum ([LAB_TRN_BillHeader].[AmountToBePaid]) as Total_Sale
,LAB.dbo.[LAB_TRN_BillHeader].[CollectingCenterCode]
,LAB.dbo.[LAB_Comm_MST_CollectingCenter].[Name]
,LAB.dbo.[LAB_Comm_MST_Branch].[BranchName]
FROM Lab.dbo.[LAB_TRN_BillHeader]
INNER JOIN LAB.dbo.[LAB_Comm_MST_CollectingCenter] on LAB.dbo.[LAB_TRN_BillHeader].[CollectingCenterCode] = LAB.dbo.[LAB_Comm_MST_CollectingCenter].[CollectingCenterCode]
INNER JOIN LAB.dbo.[LAB_Comm_MST_Branch] on LAB.dbo.[LAB_TRN_BillHeader].[BranchCode] = LAB.dbo.[LAB_Comm_MST_Branch].[BranchCode]
WHERE Date between #FDM and DATEADD(day,0, CAST(GETDATE() AS date)) and {{select_Laboratory}} and LAB.dbo.[LAB_TRN_BillHeader].[IsVoid] = '0' and LAB.dbo.[LAB_TRN_BillHeader].[CollectingCenterCode] in ('URCR022','MRPMC','KUCC','KOCC','EHECC')
GROUP BY LAB.dbo.[LAB_TRN_BillHeader].[CollectingCenterCode], LAB.dbo.[LAB_Comm_MST_CollectingCenter].[Name], LAB.dbo.[LAB_Comm_MST_Branch].[BranchName]
Current Result:
|Total_Sale|CollectingCenterCode|Name|BranchName|
|xxx |xxx |x |xx |
Required Result:
|Total_Sale|Total_Sale2|CollectingCenterCode|Name|BranchName|
|xxx |xxx |xx |x |xx |
Total_Sale = Sale of current month up to yesterday
Total_Sale2 = Sale of Last month up to current month's yesterday's date.
-- MSSQL Version - 2014
-- <Create_Date> is a time stamp in the table in <Create_Date> column. The date/time is obtained from that timestamp. Each transaction is saved with a respective timestamp at it's time of occurrence.
-- {{select_Laboratory}} is a field filter alias in Metabase (this code was copied from a Metabase dashboard). The actual code is LAB.dbo.[LAB_TRN_BillHeader].[BranchCode] = '001'
Considering a sales CreateDate is likely of type Datetime or Datetime2, a safe approach would be:
DECLARE #yesterday DATE = GETDATE();
DECLARE #lastMonth DATE = DATEADD(MONTH, -1, #yesterday);
DECLARE #firstDayOfThisMonth DATE = DATEADD(DAY, 1 - DAY(#yesterday), #yesterday);
DECLARE #firstDayOfLastMonth DATE = DATEADD(DAY, 1 - DAY(#lastMonth), #lastMonth);
SELECT #yesterday,
#firstDayOfThisMonth,
#lastMonth,
#firstDayOfLastMonth;
SELECT [locationId],
SUM( CASE
WHEN CreateDate >= #firstDayOfThisMonth
AND CreateDate < #yesterday THEN
AmountToBePaid
END
) AS Sum_of_Sale_1,
SUM( CASE
WHEN CreateDate >= #firstDayOfLastMonth
AND CreateDate < #lastMonth THEN
AmountToBePaid
END
) AS Sum_of_Sale_2
FROM BillHeader
GROUP BY [locationId];
EDIT: Note that in dates like March 31,30 previous month's end date could be Feb 28, 29.
You could use conditional aggregation with the following date functions:
DATEADD(Day, 1, EOMONTH(GETDATE(), -1)) gets the first date of the current month, i.e. current month is Jan-2023 it will return '2023-01-01'.
CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) gets today's date.
DATEADD(Day, 1, EOMONTH(GETDATE(), -2)) gets the first date of the previous month, i.e. current month is Jan-2023 it will return '2022-12-01'.
DATEADD(Month, -1, CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) gets the date of the day one-month pre today's date.
SELECT Location,
SUM(CASE
WHEN CreateDate >= DATEADD(Day, 1, EOMONTH(GETDATE(), -1)) AND
CreateDate < CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)
THEN Sales END) Sum_of_Sale_1,
SUM(CASE
WHEN CreateDate >= DATEADD(Day, 1 ,EOMONTH(GETDATE(), -2)) AND
CreateDate < DATEADD(Month, -1, CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE))
THEN Sales END) Sum_of_Sale_2
FROM BillHeader
GROUP BY Location
See demo
There are different ways of doing the calculations and I don't know if this logic will seem more straightforward or as concise. Also you might not be able to use variables. Lastly, you didn't specify which version you're running.
Although you can incorporate this into an existing query that covers a wider range of dates, here is a stand-alone option that should restrict the execution to a narrower range of dates. The case logic, as written, does assume that rows have already been filtered so the only thing left to determine is whether the sale comes from current month or prior month.
select Location,
sum(case when month(CreateDate) <> month(getdate()) then Sales end) as Sales1,
sum(case when month(CreateDate) = month(getdate()) then Sales end) as Sales2
from BillHeader
where
-- go back enough days to guarantee covering last two months
-- this may be able to utilize an index
SalesDate between dateadd(day, -30 - day(getdate()), cast(getdate() as date))
and getdate()
-- now eliminate extra dates that are not relevant
and month(getdate()) - month(CreateDate) in (0, 1, -11) /* year might roll over */
and day(getdate()) > day(CreateDate)
group by Location;
For a YOY comparison over the same calendar month:
select Location,
sum(case when year(CreateDate) <> year(getdate()) then Sales end) as Sales1,
sum(case when year(CreateDate) = year(getdate()) then Sales end) as Sales2
from BillHeader
where
-- go back enough days to guarantee covering last 13 months
-- (or rewind as 396 days via parallel logic from earlier)
SalesDate between
dateadd(year, -1, dateadd(day, 1 - day(getdate()), cast(getdate() as date)))
and getdate()
and month(getdate()) = month(CreateDate)
and day(getdate()) > day(CreateDate)
group by Location;
This might be better done as a union with two different date ranges combined together:
-- ...
where
SalesDate between
dateadd(year, -1, dateadd(day, 1 - day(getdate()), cast(getdate() as date)))
and dateadd(year, -1, getdate())
-- ... union all ...
where
SalesDate between
dateadd(day, 1 - day(getdate()), cast(getdate() as date))
and getdate()
-- ...
I am building an SQL view which shows me all entries of table T where the information is last month. I want it so that if I run the view any time in August, it will show me all entries for July, not just a month before which is what I have done with my current code.
Please see this:
where cast(t.Ticket_OpenDate as date) >= cast(dateadd(month, -1, getdate()) as date)
I look forward to hearing from someone.
Using DATEDIFF as in the other answer will not perform well because it cannot use indexes (it is not sarge-able).
It is much better to use a date interval (start and end), in this case we want a half-open interval (exclusive end date):
WHERE t.Ticket_OpenDate >= DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), MONTH(GETDATE()) - 1, 1)
AND t.Ticket_OpenDate < DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), MONTH(GETDATE()) , 1)
You should be able to use the DATEDIFF() function for that:
WHERE DATEDIFF(month, CAST(t.Ticket_OpenDate as date), GETDATE()) = 1
See db<>fiddle for an example.
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]
When I run this where clause on my table I get 2 different results and to me its seems like I should get the same number of records back.
The one I'm using just a static date to test and the other should also retrieve the same results where I'm trying to get last month results
I idea the query is a report that will automatic load the previous months records.
WHERE
(OrderReceiptedDate >= '2015-03-01')
AND (OrderReceiptedDate <= '2015-03-31')
WHERE
(DATEPART(mm, OrderReceiptedDate) = DATEPART(mm, DATEADD(mm, - 1, GETDATE())))
AND
(DATEPART(yy, OrderReceiptedDate) = DATEPART(yy, DATEADD(mm, - 1, GETDATE())))
These are the two statements
WHERE (OrderReceiptedDate >= '2015-03-01' AND
OrderReceiptedDate <= '2015-03-31'
)
WHERE (DATEPART(month, OrderReceiptedDate) = DATEPART(month, DATEADD(month, - 1, GETDATE()))) AND
(DATEPART(year, OrderReceiptedDate) = DATEPART(year, DATEADD(month, - 1, GETDATE())))
Given that today is April 2015, you are expecting that both of these get all dates for March. And, they would, if your dates had no time components. The problem is that almost any datetime on March 31st is not going to match the first condition. The one exception is exactly at midnight: 2015-03-01 00:00:00.000.
The first is better written as:
WHERE (OrderReceiptedDate >= '2015-03-01' AND
OrderReceiptedDate < '2015-04-01'
)
A better way to write "get me last months date" is something like:
WHERE OrderReceiptedDate >= dateadd(month, -1, cast(getdate() - day(getdate()) + 1 as date)) and
OrderReceiptedDate < cast(getdate() - day(getdate()) + 1 as date)
This does all the calculations on getdate() so the query could still take advantage of an index on OrderReceiptDate.
I have the following code:
Declare #indDate date = '1/1/2014'
SELECT RecordID AS RID,
Name,
Company,
PhoneNumber,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),DateOfInduction,103) AS StartDate,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),DateOfExpiry,103) AS DateOfExpiry
FROM Records WHERE DateOfExpiry <= DATEFROMPARTS(DATEPART(YYYY,#indDate),DATEPART(MM,#indDate),DATEPART(DD,DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,#indDate)+1,0))))
AND DateOfExpiry >= DATEFROMPARTS(DATEPART(YYYY,#indDate),DATEPART(MM,#indDate),1)
Which basically gives me all expiring records for the month of the #indDate parameter.
What I am trying to do is add 1 to the month in the DATEFROMPARTS to get next month's values. Now I don't want to just change the #indDate to the other month because in the report the date will not be selected but only something like Expires This Month, Next Month, Previous Month, etc.
So if I change the WHERE clause to:
WHERE DateOfExpiry <= DATEFROMPARTS(DATEPART(YYYY,#indDate),DATEPART(MM,DATEADD(MM,1,#indDate)),DATEPART(DD,DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,#indDate)+1,0))))
AND DateOfExpiry >= DATEFROMPARTS(DATEPART(YYYY,#indDate),DATEPART(MM,DATEADD(MM,1,#indDate)),1)
I get error: Cannot construct data type date, some of the arguments have values which are not valid. and I am not sure why, it works fine If I try something like:
Declare #indDate date = '1/1/2014'
select DATEADD(mm,1,#indDate)
Can anyone see the problem?
In your error is coming from trying to create date from invalid date range,
if you run parts of your DATEFROMPARTS in the following manner
DECLARE #indDate DATE = '1/1/2014'
SELECT DATEPART(YYYY, #indDate)
,DATEPART(MM, DATEADD(MM, 1, #indDate))
,DATEPART(DD, DATEADD(s, -1, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m, 0, #indDate) + 1, 0)))
this generates 2014 2 31 which is not a valid date.
The following three examples will give you all records for previous, current or next month no matter if you passed in '01/01/2014' or '01/15/2014'
This will give you all records for last month.
WHERE DateOfExpiry >= DATEADD(MONTH, -1,DATEADD(dd,-DATEPART(day,#indDate)+1,#indDate)) AND
DateOfExpiry < DATEADD(dd,-DATEPART(day,#indDate)+1,#indDate)
This will give you all records for current month
WHERE DateOfExpiry >= DATEADD(dd,-DATEPART(day,#indDate)+1,#indDate)
and DateOfExpiry < DATEADD(MONTH, 1,DATEADD(dd,-DATEPART(day,#indDate)+1,#indDate))
Finally all records for next month
WHERE DateOfExpiry >= DATEADD(MONTH, 1, DATEADD(dd, -DATEPART(day, #indDate) + 1, #indDate))
AND DateOfExpiry < DATEADD(MONTH, 2, DATEADD(dd, -DATEPART(day, #indDate) + 1, #indDate))
why not use:
WHERE DateOfExpiry >= #indDate AND DateOfExpiry < DATEADD(month,1,#indDate)
