Function F_ISO_YEAR_WEEK_DAY_OF_WEEK returns the ISO 8601 Year Week Day of Week in format YYYY-W01-D for the date passed. W01 represents the week of the year from W01 through W53, and D represents the day of the week with 1 = Monday through 7 = Sunday.
The first week of each year starts on the first Monday on or before January 4 of that year, so that the year begins from December 28 of the prior year through January 4 of the current year.
This code creates the function and demos it for the first day, first date+60, and first date+364 for each ISO week/year from 1990 to 2030.

We are trying to compare our current calendar week (based on Monday being the first day of the week) with the previous calendar week.
I'm trying to produce a line chart with 2 axis:
- x axis; the day of the week (Mon, Tues, Wed etc - it is fine for this to be a # rather than text e.g. 1 = Mon, 2 = Tues etc) - y axis; the cumulative number of orders
The chart needs two series:
Previous Week. The running count of orders placed that week. Current Week. The running count of orders placed this week.
Obviously in such a chart the 'Current Week' series is going not going to have values along the whole axis until the end of the week. This is expected and the aim of the chart is to see the current week compares against the previous week for the same day.
I have two tables:
Orders TableCalendar Table
The calendar table's main date column is [calDate] and there are columns for the usual [calWeekNum], [calMonth] etc.
My measure for counting orders is simply; # Orders: = countrows[orders].
How do I take this measure and then work out my two series. I have tried numerous things such as adapting TOTALMTD(), following articles such as these:
- [URL] ... - [URL] ...
But I have had no luck. The standard cumulative formulas do work e.g. if I wanted a MTD or YTD table I would be ok, it's just adjusting to a WTD that is causing me big issues.
I'd like to add a yesterday dimension member to a new dimension, like a "Time Utility" dimension, that references the second last day of non empty data in a cube.
At the moment, I'm doing this:
Code Snippet
create member [MIA DW].[DATE TIME].[Date].[Yesterday] as [DATE TIME].[Date].&[2007-01-01T00:00:00]
select [Measures].members on 0, non empty [DATE TIME].[Date].members on 1 from [MIA DW] But the [yesterday] member does not seem to belong to [DATE TIME].[Date].members?
So I guess there's two questions:
1) Can I have a new empty dimension which contains all these special members like "Yesterday" or "This Week" and "Last Week" (these last two obviously refer to a set of Dates)
2)How come the Yesterday member is not returned by the .members function?

How to update only that week hrs , don't continue next week...
I need a Select sentence that return me the first week of the month for a given week.
For example If I have week number 12 (Begins 2015/03/16 and Ends 2015/03/22) I need that returns 9, I mean Week number 9 wich is the first week of march (having in mind @@DATEFIRST).
I only need give a week number of the year and then returns the week number of the first week of that month.
I have to insert YEAR WEEKNUMBER STARTDATE ENDDATE values to a datatable (sayweekrange), if I pass 2011 as year.
Week range starts at 2011-03-28 to 2011-04-03 (because in my database 2010 last week range ends with 2011-03-27) like this I have to generate for 52 weeks.
I want to write a stored procedure, that takes only year as parameter. with this year I have to generate week ranges and insert into my table as shown above.
I need to build a report that compares a count on a certain day of the week by month by year by stacks. That is,for first Monday in October 2012 against first Monday in October 2013 for stack DM1 against first Monday in October 2014 stack DM1, same for second Monday, first Tuesday, second Tuesday, ect. Attached is a sample dataset and what I want to achieve.

Hi 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.
I have a query that run every day to update a summary table which has week number and day of week. what I currently do is delete all records from the summary table and then summarize all the data availabe from four tables adn then populate the table daily. I want to know if I can run the update query to run only for the week number and day of week depending on getdate. Can I do this?
I have a table where hours are being loaded in a weekly basis. The YearWeek is populated when the data is loaded. The value format of the Year Week is 2015-39, 2015-41, etc. I need to calculate the total hours per Fiscal Year.For example, week '2015-39' will be return FY15 and week '2015-41' will return FY16, and so on. By extracting the year, I can do a group by and have total hours for each year.
Currently, I have it working by splitting the value into year and week and then looping through each year and week, so I can assign the totals to the corresponding FY.select sum(hours) as total, yearweek from tablename group by yearweek...Then I loop through using C#.I can return the FY using an actual date,how to do it for year-week format for any given year.

This script creates a scalar function, F_END_OF_WEEK, that returns the end of week date for a passed date and a passed start day of week.
Parameter @DATE can be any valid datetime. Parameter @WEEK_START_DAY must be an integer in the range 1 through 7, with Sun = 1, Mon = 2, Tue = 3, Wed = 4, Thu = 5, Fri = 6, and Sat = 7.
This function is a companion to function F_START_OF_WEEK and has the same input parameters, @DATE and @WEEK_START_DAY. If they are called with the same input parameters, they will return the first and last day of the week.
Function F_END_OF_WEEK will return a null if the end of week day would be later than 9999-12-31.
The test code at the end of the script uses function F_START_OF_WEEK which can be found on this link: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=47307

I wrote the following function to find the start of week date for a given date and a given start day of week.
For example: If the day passed is Saturday, 2005-03-19, and Sunday is the start of the week, it returns: 2005-03-13 00:00:00.000
If the day passed is Monday, 2005-03-14, and Sunday is the start of the week, it returns: 2005-03-13 00:00:00.000
If the day passed is Monday, 2005-03-14, and Monday is the start of the week, it returns: 2005-03-14 00:00:00.000

I thought I would also post an alternate way of doing the Start of Week instead of using the F_START_OF_WEEK function. These queries demo doing the Start of Week inline in a query, and use a similar algorithm to find the start of week, but the start day of week is hard coded.
I posted two versions. The first version is simpler, but it has a minor flaw that returns a false result if the start of week would be before 1753/1/1. For the vast majority of applications this would not be a problem. In the second, the algorithm is modified slightly to cause it to overflow if you pick a date that would result in a start of week before 1753/1/1. Note that the F_START_OF_WEEK function returns a NULL in this situation.
The demo queries use the F_TABLE_NUMBER_RANGE that is posted in another thread in order to generate dates to demonstrated the results: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=47685

I am trying to convert a field that has a Date and Time in smallDateTime format into something that will give me the day of the week that each Date corresponds to. For example, if my Date/Time field says "Jun 7 2001 09:30:00" I want my Day field to automatically say "Thursday". Is there a function that will do this? Or is there something close that will convert a variable of smalldatetime format into a number 0-6 which then can be converted to a day of the week?
