I want a one month range from 2-15-13 to 2-28-13, but Dateadd(mm,-1,'2-28-13') would return 1-15-13 to 1-28-13, I want it to end at the proper end of month, i.e, 1-31-13. Any help is appreciated.
(edit/update)
I would like to make it more clear:
declare #Lastmonth_StartDate datetime,
#Lastmonth_EndDate datetime,
#StartDate datetime = '2/15/13',
#EndDate datetime = '2/28/13'
set #Lastmonth_EndDate=DATEADD(m,-1,#EndDate)
set #Lastmonth_StartDate =DATEADD(m,-1,#StartDate)
select #Lastmonth_StartDate, #Lastmonth_EndDate
Instead of jan 28, I would like jan 31 for Lastmonth_EndDate, and if start dates are 2/1/13 - 2/15/13 I would like Lastmonth_EndDate to be the 15th of the previous month.

I am trying to use IF or CASE to do the job but am not that good, any lead please?
To get the end of a year-month, add one month to the first of that year-month, then subtract 1 day. The rest is details.
For the syntax you use I believe you use SQL Server, for SQL Server you can do as follows:
Start of the period:
Convert(datetime, Convert(varchar(7),DateAdd(m, 0, '2-15-13'),121) + '-01 00:00:00.000', 121)
End of period:
DateAdd(d, -1, Convert(datetime, Convert(varchar(7),DateAdd(m, 1, '2-28-13'),121) + '-01 23:59:59.997', 121)))

I am working on a query that tries to count from an exact date to an exact date. Today is 2/16/2022. Between 6/30/2020 and 2/16/2022 19 months have gone by. My DateDiff query returns 20? How can I force DateDiff function to return 19?
select datediff(month, '6/30/2020', getdate())
As per documentationSQL Docs, datediff returns
The int difference between the startdate and enddate, expressed in the boundary set by datepart.
which in your example is the number of months from June '20 to February '22 which is indeed 20. User user716255's code is pointing into the right direction in that it uses the first of each month in question. If your intention however is to really know how many months elapsed between two dates, the code should be amended like so:
(sorry, need to correct my original answer, as I misread the code from the other answer)
declare #start date
declare #end date
set #start = '20200630'
set #end = '20220216'
select datediff(month, dateadd(day, -day(#start)+1, #start), dateadd(day, -
day(#end)+1,#end))+CASE WHEN DAY(#end)>DAY(#start) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
(with dates written in a format more useful for our international readers...)
The original coude would fail if start date would i.e. be 31st of July and the end date in February (as -31+1 would lead to a date in January)
Here is the solution that worked for me.
declare #start date
declare #end date
set #start = '6/30/2020'
set #end = '2/16/2022'
select datediff(month, dateadd(day, -day(#start)+1, #start), dateadd(day, -day(#start)+1,#end))

I Need help in finding upcoming birthday in a month.
My Data is something like below , Both data types are nvarchar
Could anyone help me with the sql query please? how to set the DOB column into a date format and then find the birthday with month as 11 and date as 24.
Thanks in advance
Assuming SQL Server, you can use month() to extract the month from a date, for example getdate(), which is the current point in time. With left() you can extract the first characters of a string. That leads to something like:
SELECT [Name],
[Dob(mmdd)]
FROM elbat
WHERE month(getdate()) = left([Dob(mmdd)], 2);
In Microsoft SQL Server you can Create a date using the DATEFROMPARTS(int year, int month, int day) function. To get your month and day you would have to get the 2 parts of the string, the first 2 characters for month and the third and fourth characters as the day, you can use the SUBSTRING function for this. Then take each pair of characters for month and day and cast to int and use them in the DATEFROMPARTS function.
Then you want to see if your newly created date is BETWEEN today AND one month from today. So you could do something like this:
SELECT *
FROM SomeTable
WHERE
DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), CAST(SUBSTRING([Dob(mmdd)], 1, 2) as INT), CAST(SUBSTRING([Dob(mmdd)], 3, 2) as INT))
BETWEEN
DATEADD(DAY, -1, GETDATE()) AND DATEADD(MONTH, 1, GETDATE())
Note: this assumes [Dob(mmdd)] is always 4 characters.
You don't need the DOB in a date format. I am unclear what "upcoming" month means, but I suspect that it means a calendar month. If the current month, then:
where month(getdate()) = cast(left(dob, 2) as int)
If the next month, then:
where month(dateadd(month, 1, getdate())) = cast(left(dob, 2) as int)
Thanks, Everyone for the help.. I got this working,. both works perfect
select [USER_ID],[EMP_FULL_NM],[Birthday_Date] from [dbo].[COE]
where month(getdate())=left([Birthday_Date],2)
select [USER_ID],[JOINING_DT],[EMP_FULL_NM] from [dbo].[COE]
where SUBSTRING(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), [JOINING_DT], 101),1,2) = month(getdate())
I'm creating a function were I provide 3 inputs #FiscalYEar, #StartDate, #EndDate, I also declare a DATE parameter that the year will be -1 of #FiscalYear
SET #fyLowerBound = OCT 1 OF (#FiscalYear - 1)
how do I properly write the SET statement to make it work?
This should work:
DECLARE #FiscalYear INT = 2014,
#fyLowerBound DATE;
SET #fyLowerBound = CAST(CAST((#FiscalYear - 1) AS CHAR(4)) + '1001' AS DATE)
SELECT #fyLowerBound;
This gives 1st October 2013.
The premise being creating a string date in the format yyyyMMdd, in SQL Server this is the only culture insensitive date for DATETIME (yyyy-MM-dd will work for DATE), you then cast that string to a date (or datetime whatever your preference).
So the first step is to turn your integer date into a CHAR(4), you can then create october 1st of this year by concatenating '1001'. You now have a string that will be cast to a date.
SET #fyLowerBound = DATEADD(yy, -1, #FiscalYear)
This will give you a date that's a year less than #FiscalYear. Although I'm not entirely sure this is what you need, given that 'OCT' in your original statement.
Ok I am trying to write a query that says get the current date and make it the start date. Then I want to go a month back from that current date for the EndDate. Is it possible to do this? Like if it was 9-15-2010 as the start date can I go a month back from that to 8-15-2010 or is this no possible....what would you do for like 9-20-2010 as the start date since every month has a different amount of days in it? Otherwise if this is not possible how else could I do this? The report will always be run on the 25th of the month so any ideas? I need to go from the 25th back a month....I can get some duplicate records between months if needed but less is obviously better
Right now I am using this:
DECLARE #StartDate DATETIME,
#EndDate DATETIME;
SET #StartDate = DATEADD(m,-1,GETDATE());
SET #EndDate = DATEADD(m, 1, #StartDate);
Does this work?
Also, how would I then say my AuditInsertTimestamp is between #Start adn #EndDate?
Currently I have this:
AND cvn.[AuditInsertTimestamp] BETWEEN #StartDate AND #EndDate ;
This is still giving me dates like 7-26-2010 though....
Thanks!
That should work. Did you try it?
If it doesn't work (and there are only 12 test cases to check if you don't trust the documentation) then you can re-build the date from the date parts.
Here's the problem. It should be like this:
cvn.[Subject] = 'Field Changed (Plate Type)'
AND (
cvn.[Note] LIKE 'Old Type: IRP%New Type: BASE PLATE%'
OR cvn.[Note] LIKE 'Old Type: Base Plate%New Type: IRP%'
)
AND cvn.AuditInsertTimestamp BETWEEN GETDATE() AND DATEADD(MONTH, -1, GETDATE())
AND takes precidence over OR, so you were picking up anything with Old Type:IRP or in the correct date range (with Old Type: Base Plate)
Based on your comment:
Well this is being used to select
records. So if I run it on the 25th I
need 30 days back then my field
AuditInsertTimestamp needs to be
between these 2 dates.
I think you need to do something like this:
SELECT * FROM Table
WHERE AuditInsertTimestamp BETWEEN GETDATE() AND DATEADD(MONTH, -1, GETDATE())
I am writing a query in which I have to get the data for only the last year. What is the best way to do this?
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE date > '8/27/2007 12:00:00 AM'
The following adds -1 years to the current date:
SELECT ... From ... WHERE date > DATEADD(year,-1,GETDATE())
I found this page while looking for a solution that would help me select results from a prior calendar year. Most of the results shown above seems return items from the past 365 days, which didn't work for me.
At the same time, it did give me enough direction to solve my needs in the following code - which I'm posting here for any others who have the same need as mine and who may come across this page in searching for a solution.
SELECT .... FROM .... WHERE year(*your date column*) = year(DATEADD(year,-1,getdate()))
Thanks to those above whose solutions helped me arrive at what I needed.
Well, I think something is missing here. User wants to get data from the last year and not from the last 365 days. There is a huge diference. In my opinion, data from the last year is every data from 2007 (if I am in 2008 now). So the right answer would be:
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE YEAR(DATE) = YEAR(GETDATE()) - 1
Then if you want to restrict this query, you can add some other filter, but always searching in the last year.
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE YEAR(DATE) = YEAR(GETDATE()) - 1 AND DATE > '05/05/2007'
The most readable, IMO:
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE Date >
DATEADD(yy, -1, CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(varchar, GETDATE(), 101)))
Which:
Gets now's datetime GETDATE() = #8/27/2008 10:23am#
Converts to a string with format 101 CONVERT(varchar, #8/27/2008 10:23am#, 101) = '8/27/2007'
Converts to a datetime CONVERT(datetime, '8/27/2007') = #8/27/2008 12:00AM#
Subtracts 1 year DATEADD(yy, -1, #8/27/2008 12:00AM#) = #8/27/2007 12:00AM#
There's variants with DATEDIFF and DATEADD to get you midnight of today, but they tend to be rather obtuse (though slightly better on performance - not that you'd notice compared to the reads required to fetch the data).
Look up dateadd in BOL
dateadd(yy,-1,getdate())
GETDATE() returns current date and time.
If last year starts in midnight of current day last year (like in original example) you should use something like:
DECLARE #start datetime
SET #start = dbo.getdatewithouttime(DATEADD(year, -1, GETDATE())) -- cut time (hours, minutes, ect.) -- getdatewithouttime() function doesn't exist in MS SQL -- you have to write one
SELECT column1, column2, ..., columnN FROM table WHERE date >= #start
I, like #D.E. White, came here for similar but different reasons than the original question. The original question asks for the last 365 days. #samjudson's answer provides that. #D.E. White's answer returns results for the prior calendar year.
My query is a bit different in that it works for the prior year up to and including the current date:
SELECT .... FROM .... WHERE year(date) > year(DATEADD(year, -2, GETDATE()))
For example, on Feb 17, 2017 this query returns results from 1/1/2016 to 2/17/2017
For some reason none of the results above worked for me.
This selects the last 365 days.
SELECT ... From ... WHERE date BETWEEN CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 YEAR AND CURDATE()
The other suggestions are good if you have "SQL only".
However I suggest, that - if possible - you calculate the date in your program and insert it as string in the SQL query.
At least for for big tables (i.e. several million rows, maybe combined with joins) that will give you a considerable speed improvement as the optimizer can work with that much better.
argument for DATEADD function :
DATEADD (*datepart* , *number* , *date* )
datepart can be: yy, qq, mm, dy, dd, wk, dw, hh, mi, ss, ms
number is an expression that can be resolved to an int that is added to a datepart of date
date is an expression that can be resolved to a time, date, smalldatetime, datetime, datetime2, or datetimeoffset value.
declare #iMonth int
declare #sYear varchar(4)
declare #sMonth varchar(2)
set #iMonth = 0
while #iMonth > -12
begin
set #sYear = year(DATEADD(month,#iMonth,GETDATE()))
set #sMonth = right('0'+cast(month(DATEADD(month,#iMonth,GETDATE())) as varchar(2)),2)
select #sYear + #sMonth
set #iMonth = #iMonth - 1
end
I had a similar problem but the previous coder only provided the date in mm-yyyy format. My solution is simple but might prove helpful to some (I also wanted to be sure beginning and ending spaces were eliminated):
SELECT ... FROM ....WHERE
CONVERT(datetime,REPLACE(LEFT(LTRIM([MoYr]),2),'-
','')+'/01/'+RIGHT(RTRIM([MoYr]),4)) >= DATEADD(year,-1,GETDATE())
Here's my version.
YEAR(NOW())- 1
Example:
YEAR(c.contractDate) = YEAR(NOW())- 1
For me this worked well
SELECT DATE_ADD(Now(),INTERVAL -2 YEAR);
If you are trying to calculate "rolling" days, you can simplify it by using:
Select ... FROM ... WHERE [DATE] > (GETDATE()-[# of Days])
