SQL SERVER – Query to Find First and Last Day of Current Month – Date Function

SQL SERVER - Query to Find First and Last Day of Current Month - Date Function bigclock-800x800 Following query will run respective to today’s date. It will return Last Day of Previous Month, First Day of Current Month, Today, Last Day of Previous Month and First Day of Next Month respective to current month. Let us see how we can do this with the help of Date Function in SQL Server.

DECLARE @mydate DATETIME
SELECT @mydate = GETDATE()
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),DATEADD(dd,-(DAY(@mydate)),@mydate),101),
'Last Day of Previous Month'
UNION
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),DATEADD(dd,-(DAY(@mydate)-1),@mydate),101) AS Date_Value,
'First Day of Current Month' AS Date_Type
UNION
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),@mydate,101) AS Date_Value, 'Today' AS Date_Type
UNION
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),DATEADD(dd,-(DAY(DATEADD(mm,1,@mydate))),
DATEADD(mm,1,@mydate)),101),
'Last Day of Current Month'
UNION
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),DATEADD(dd,-(DAY(DATEADD(mm,1,@mydate))-1),
DATEADD(mm,1,@mydate)),101),
'First Day of Next Month'
GO

  • Lazy solution: for fast day of the month

    select ‘1/’+
    CONVERT(varchar(25),(select MONTH(getdate())))
    +’/’+
    CONVERT(varchar(25),(select YEAR(getdate()) ))

  • Hi I am in the way of automating my SQL query. I have a filed called Transaction_Date in my table.

    I my analysis i will pre period analysis, promo period analysis and post period analysis. FOr ex, if the campaign starts on 1-June-2012 and the end date is on 30-Jun-12, then i should take the same number days as promo period for pre and post anlaysis.

    I am giving the dates manually in hte SQL code. But i want to automate it by considering the dates automatically.

    drop table #response_curve
    select Status,
    week_no,
    [Customers] = count (distinct account_no),
    [Transactions] = sum(case when tx_type_code in (’01’,’90’) then 1 when tx_type_code in (’03’,’94’) then -1 else 0 end),
    [Spend] = sum(cast(total_txn_value*issue_mult as bigint)),
    [Standard_Points_Issued]= sum(cast(std_points_value*issue_mult as bigint)),
    [Bonus_Points_Issued] = sum(cast(bonus_points_value*issue_mult as bigint))
    into #response_curve
    from
    (select case when t.transaction_date >= ‘2012-07-17’ and t.transaction_date = ‘2012-07-22’ and t.transaction_date = ‘2012-07-29’ and t.transaction_date = ‘2012-08-05’ and t.transaction_date = ‘2012-08-12’ and t.transaction_date = ‘2012-08-19’ and t.transaction_date = ‘2012-08-26’ then ‘Week7’end as week_no,
    t.account_no,tt.tx_type_code ,t.total_txn_value,tt.issue_mult,t.std_points_value,t.bonus_points_value,t.transaction_date,f.Status
    from tx_txn t with
    inner join #final_campaign_members f on f.account_no = t.account_no
    inner join tx_type tt on t.tx_type_code = tt.tx_type_code
    where t.terminal_id like ‘RSA%’ and t.transaction_date >= ‘2012-07-17’ and t.transaction_date < '2012-09-01' ) a
    group by Status,week_no

    Above is the code which i am using. please help me on howto automate the above code by not giving the dates manually

  • Here’s the correct version for the blogger’s queries that takes into account the times 00:00:00 and 23:59:00

    SELECT DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE())-1, 0), ‘Start Last Month’
    SELECT DATEADD(minute, -1, DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE()), 0)), ‘End Start Last Month’

    SELECT DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE()), 0), ‘Start This Month’
    SELECT DATEADD(minute, -1, DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE())+1, 0)), ‘End This Month’

  • Do not use string concatenation. Use DATADD/DATEDIFF functions. Run the below query

    SELECT
    DATEADD(QQ, DATEDIFF(QQ, 0, GETDATE()), 0) ThisQuarterFirstDay,
    DATEADD(QQ, 0, GETDATE()) ThisQuarterLastDay,
    DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()) – 1, 0) LastMonthFirstDay,
    DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()), -1) LastMonthLastDay,
    DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()), 0) ThisMonthFirstDay,
    DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()) + 1, -1) ThisMonthLastDay
