Sql For Financial Reporting Periods This Month, Last Month, This Quarter, Last Quarter, This Year, Last Year
Oct 26, 2006Does anyone know of a way to use a funtion for returning records based on fiscal reporting periods like Quickbooks uses for example "This Month", "Last Month", "This Quarter", "Last Quarter", "This Year", "Last Year". While I realize that I can create a very long date time parsing routine for this but it is not very elegant or useful. I thought there might be a way to do this already with an existing function.I have created a stored procedure that I pass a @ViewRange Parameter to and it returns the records that I want but I need this ability in several procedures and wanted to turn it into a stored procedure.IF @ViewRange = 'This Month' SELECT TOP 20 Customer.LastName AS Customer, SUM(Sales.AmtCharge) AS Amount FROM Customer INNER JOIN Sales ON Customer.CustNo = Sales.CustNo WHERE (MONTH(Sales.InvDate) = MONTH(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)) AND (YEAR(Sales.InvDate) = YEAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)) GROUP BY Customer.LastName ORDER BY SUM(Sales.AmtCharge) DESC;IF @ViewRange = 'Last Month' SELECT TOP 20 Customer.LastName AS Customer, Sum(Sales.AmtCharge) AS Amount FROM Customer INNER JOIN Sales ON Customer.CustNo = Sales.CustNo WHERE(MONTH(Sales.InvDate) = MONTH(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) - 1) And (YEAR(Sales.InvDate) = YEAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)) GROUP BY Customer.LastName ORDER BY Sum(Sales.AmtCharge) DESC; Any ideas?
View 8 Replies View RelatedHow Can I Retrieving Records By Past One Week,past Month, Past Quarter Of Year And Then Half Year.
Apr 30, 2007Hi every one,
I have a database table and currently users may retrieve records for a specified date range by providing the start and end dates and then records between those dates provided are retrieved. For example if users wanted to view all records entered in april, they would have to select 04/01/2007 as the start date and then 04/30/2007 as the end date. The records for april would then be displayed in a gridview.
How can configure my sql query such that instead the user selectes a month from a dropdownlist of 12 months. I would love a user to just select the desired month from a list instead of selecting start and end dates. Eg if they are intrested in a report for june, then they should just select june from the list instead of specifying the start and stop dates. HOW can i achieve this.

Sum By Week / Month / Quarter / Year
Aug 20, 2014I am trying to group counts by week,month,quarter, year for a particular activity type and I'm having issues.Here's my code so far:
SELECT
distinct
EmailAddressID,
emailaddress,

For Each Year Group In Matrix Return Last Quarter's Data
Sep 12, 2007Hi, I have a matrix report with three data points
1. Inventory
2. Occupancy
3. Absorption
They are grouped in columns by Year and the data is returned by the query at Quarter granularity
My problem is that in the report, I need to display the Inventory data for the last quarter in each year however for Absorption it is the SUM of all 4 quarters
So, for 2006
Want Q4 data for Inventory, sum of all 4 quarters for Absorption
For 2007 Want Q2 data for Inventory (as it's the last loded quarter) and sum of Q1&Q2 for Absorption
How would I (or could I) do this in a Matrix Report - or is there a better way ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2012 :: Rollover Prior Quarter Data To New Quarter In A Table - Output Identity Values
Jun 5, 2014I have a process to rollover prior quarter data to new quarter in a table.
For example, i have a table with (col1, col2, year, qtr) with data like ( Note: col1 is identity(1,1) )
1,'today',2014,1
2,'tomorrow,2014,1
3,'friday',2014,1
Now when i run my process, above 3 records will be rolled over new quarter 2014 Q2 and the table will be like
1,'today',2014,1
2,'tomorrow,2014,1
3,'friday',2014,1
4,'today',2014,2
5,'tomorrow,2014,2
6,'friday',2014,2
Row 1 with identity 1 has rolled over to new quarter row 4 with identity 4 ( qtr fields are changed )
Row 2 with identity 2 has rolled over to new quarter row 5 with identity 5. Same with last row as well.
Here, i have another table called "ident_map" with columns like (old identity, new identity ) and during rollover i am supposed to load ident_map table with old and new identity. So after rollover is complete, ident_map table should look like
1,4
2,5
3,6
I know using output clause I can capture the new identity values. 4,5,6 in this case. But is there any way to capture both old identity and new identity during rollover so that i can load the ident_map table with old and new identity.

Bit Field Vs. Integer With Nulls
Aug 27, 2004If I have a field where 99.9% of the time the answer is going to be "No", would I be better, in terms of disk space, using:
A bit field
OR
A tiny int field, with a NULL for the 99.9% that are "NO", and a 1 for those that are "YES".
I'm using SQL Server 7.0.
My application developer has no preference.
Thanks.

Getting An Integer Range Out Of A String Field
Oct 9, 2007
We have account numbers that are string values, looking like: "01.02.02.00.0040.000.000".
We need to parse individual segments and pull out a range of values treating the segment like an integer. For example we would like all accounts that have the fifth segment ranging in values from .0040. through .0060. inclusive.
We've been trying to do something with the like clause: LIKE '__.__.__.__.[0-0][0-0][4-6][0-0]'.
We want 40 through 60 but we're getting 40, 50, and 60. If we change the last bracket to [0-9] we get 40 through 69.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to either fix our like clause or another approach?
Thanks.

Converting An INT Field To CHAR
Oct 12, 1999I have been asked to investigate the feasibility of converting an Invoice Number field from 6 to 7 digits, and allowing alpha characters. This means CHAR. The Invoice Number is not used outside of the application, but changes would have to be made to the database, and VB code that runs the app. Any ideas on how to proceed?
Any responses would be greatly appreciated!
