Need help in writing the query to get the last month data as well as month to date data.
If today's date is Mar 23 2011, I need to retrieve the data from last month and the data till todays date(means Mar 23 2011).
If date is Apr 3 2011, data should consists of March month data and the data till Apr 3rd 2011.
Thanks,
Shahsra
Today including time info : getdate() Today without time info : DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(day, 0, getdate()), 0) Tomorrow without time info : DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(day, 0, getdate()), 1) Beginning of current month : DATEADD(month, datediff(month, 0, getdate()), 0) Beginning of last month : DATEADD(month, datediff(month, 0, getdate())-1, 0) so most likely
WHERE dateColumn >= DATEADD(month, datediff(month, 0, getdate())-1, 0) AND dateColumn Step back one month, subtract the number of days to the current date, and add one day.
WHERE DateField = DateAdd( mm, -1, DateAdd(dd, -1*DatePart(dd, GetDate())+1, GetDate()) ) To remove the time quickly, you can use this Cast( Floor( Cast( GETDATE() AS FLOAT ) ) AS DATETIME )
So the second part would be (without time)
DateField >= Cast( Floor( Cast( (DateAdd( mm, -1, DateAdd(dd, -1*DatePart(dd, GetDate())+1, GetDate()) )) AS FLOAT ) ) AS DATETIME ) declare @d datetime = '2011-04-03'; declare @startDate datetime; select @startDate = CAST('01 '+ RIGHT(CONVERT(CHAR(11),DATEADD(MONTH,-1,@d),113),8) AS datetime); select @startDate; Select Column1, Column2 From Table1 Where DateColumn = DATEADD(dd, - (DAY(DATEADD(mm, 1, GetDate())) - 1), DATEADD(mm, - 1, GetDate())) Edit: +1 to Russel Steen. I was posting mine before I knew he had posted.
