Get the last day of the month in SQL

Question

I need to get the last day of the month given as a date in SQL. If I have the first day of the month, I can do something like this:

DATEADD(DAY, DATEADD(MONT         


        

Answer 1

I wrote following function, it works.

It returns datetime data type. Zero hour, minute, second, miliseconds.

CREATE Function [dbo].[fn_GetLastDate]
(
    @date datetime
)
returns datetime
as
begin

declare @result datetime

 select @result = CHOOSE(month(@date),  
 DATEADD(DAY, 31 -day(@date), @date),
 IIF(YEAR(@date) % 4 = 0, DATEADD(DAY, 29 -day(@date), @date), DATEADD(DAY, 28 -day(@date), @date)), 
 DATEADD(DAY, 31 -day(@date), @date) ,
 DATEADD(DAY, 30 -day(@date), @date), 
 DATEADD(DAY, 31 -day(@date), @date),
 DATEADD(DAY, 30 -day(@date), @date), 
 DATEADD(DAY, 31 -day(@date), @date),
 DATEADD(DAY, 31 -day(@date), @date),
 DATEADD(DAY, 30 -day(@date), @date),
 DATEADD(DAY, 31 -day(@date), @date),
 DATEADD(DAY, 30 -day(@date), @date), 
 DATEADD(DAY, 31 -day(@date), @date))

 return convert(date, @result)

end

It's very easy to use. 2 example:

select [dbo].[fn_GetLastDate]('2016-02-03 12:34:12')

select [dbo].[fn_GetLastDate](GETDATE())
