SQL Server Get Operational days from Period - sql-server

I have the table Seasons:
YEAR DATE_FROM DATE_TO
2013 2013-04-21 2013-11-14
2014 2014-04-03 2014-12-03
I need a query that gets as parameters the #year,#month,#type and it returns for
#type=
1)the days that are contained within the period for the #month of the #year
2)the days that have passes since the beginning of the period and until the end of the #month of the #year
Examples:
#type=1, #month= 5, #year = 2013 should returns 31 days
#type=2, #month= 5, #year = 2013 should returns 40 days
Thanx in advance!

You need to do two things. The first is to find the matching row. The second is to summarize as you want. I think the best way to summarize is by transforming #year and #month to the beginning of the month. Then add one month and subtract a day for the end of the month. I think the following captures the logic:
select (case when #type = 1
then datediff(day, thedate,
(case when datediff(day, date_from, dateadd(month, 1, thedate)) > date_to
then dateadd(day, -1, datediff(day, date_from, dateadd(month, 1, thedate)) )
else date_to
end)
)
when #type = 2
then datediff(day, date_from, dateadd(month, 1, thedate)) - 1
end)
from seasons s cross join
(select cast(cast(#year*100000 + #month*100 + 1 as varchar(255)) as date) as thedate
where #year * 100 + #month between year(s.date_from) * 100 + month(s.date_from) and
year(s.date_to) * 100 + month(s.date_to)

How to get Satuday's date of previous month in SQL Server? Can someone help me with this query?

Suppose now we are in September, I want output of the last Saturday date in the previous month, August, where 28-08-2021 falls under last Saturday of previous month in SQL Server
..fiddle..
select *, datename(weekday, pmlsat), dateadd(week, 1, pmlsat)
from
(
select _date,
--last saturday of previous month
dateadd(day, -datepart(weekday, dateadd(day, ##datefirst, eomonth(_date, -1)))%7, eomonth(_date, -1)) as pmlsat
from
(
select top(100) dateadd(month, row_number() over(order by ##spid), '20141215') as _date
from sys.all_objects
) as d
) as p
order by _date;
DECLARE #date1 DATETIME
SET #date1='2021-8-31'
WHILE Day(#date1) >= 1
BEGIN
IF (SELECT Datename(weekday, #date1)) = 'Saturday'
BREAK
SET #date1=Dateadd(dd, -1, #date1)
CONTINUE
END
SELECT Datename(weekday, #date1) AS 'Datename',
(SELECT CONVERT(NVARCHAR(20), #date1, 23)) AS 'DATE'
First, let's talk about how to get the beginning of this month. There are a multiple ways, I find DATEFROMPARTS() the most intuitive (see Simplify Date Period Calculations in SQL Server):
DECLARE #FirstOfMonth date = DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), MONTH(GETDATE()), 1);
SELECT #FirstOfMonth;
-- result:
-- 2021-09-01
Now, the last Saturday in the previous month must be between 1 and 7 days before the first of this month. So we can generate a sequence of 7 consecutive numbers, and subtract those days from the first of the month, like this:
DECLARE #FirstOfMonth date = DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), MONTH(GETDATE()), 1);
SELECT #FirstOfMonth;
;WITH n(n) AS
(
SELECT 1 UNION ALL
SELECT n + 1 FROM n WHERE n < 7
)
SELECT d = DATEADD(DAY, -n, #FirstOfMonth) FROM n;
/* result:
2021-08-31
2021-08-30
2021-08-29
2021-08-28
2021-08-27
2021-08-26
2021-08-25 */
To determine what a Saturday is, you either need to rely on DATEPART(WEEKDAY, date) - which in turn is affected by SET DATEFIRST, or you need to rely on DATENAME(WEEKDAY, date) - which in turn is affected by SET LANGUAGE. I will err toward language being more stable (English), so:
DECLARE #FirstOfMonth date = DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), MONTH(GETDATE()), 1);
SELECT #FirstOfMonth;
;WITH n(n) AS
(
SELECT 1 UNION ALL
SELECT n + 1 FROM n WHERE n < 7
),
d(d) AS
(
SELECT DATEADD(DAY, -n, #FirstOfMonth)
FROM n
)
SELECT LastMonthLastSaturday = d
FROM d
WHERE DATENAME(WEEKDAY, d) = 'Saturday';
-- result:
-- 2021-08-28
But that is a subjective call - if you can't rely on one of those, get a calendar table, then it's simply something like:
SELECT LastMonthLastSaturday = MAX(TheDate)
FROM dbo.Calendar
WHERE TheDayOfWeekName = 'Saturday'
AND TheDate < DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), MONTH(GETDATE()), 1);

How to get date from day name?

How can I get the date of specific day ? Like if I have Thursday or month number ?
If I give 12 for instance I want to get the date of 12th day of this month. Or if I give 'Sun' or 'Sat' is it possible to get the dates of these days ?
DATEFROMPARTS function can construct a date from day, month and year.
DATEPARTS does the opposite - gives you the day, month, year, hour, etc. of a date. Or you can use functions like YEAR, MONTH and DAY.
You can deconstruct the value returned by GETDATE function and construct whatever date you want. Here is for example how to get the date for 12th day of the current month:
select DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), MONTH(GETDATE()), 12)
Converting 'Sun' or 'Sat' to date is a bit more difficult. First, they aren't quite deterministic. If today is Friday, "Sunday this week" means "next Sunday" in some parts of the world and "last Sunday" in others. You should implement your own logic based on the value returned by DATEPART(dw, GETDATE()) (which will give you the day of the week).
To find the weekday of the current month
DECLARE #daynumber INT = 12

Calculate Total Working Days of month

I have this table where I am specifying Holidays in week. I want to calculate total working days between 2 specific dates using these fields.
CREATE TABLE [tbl_Shift](
[OffDay1] [nvarchar](25) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbl_Shift_OffDay1] DEFAULT (N'Sunday'),
[IsAlternateOffDay2] [bit] NULL,
[OffDay2] [nvarchar](25) NULL
)
INSERT INTO [tbl_Shift] VALUES ('Sunday', 'True', 'Saturday')
I have this query written but I am not able to get correct days. It should give 23 days as there are 2 holidays in each week and 31 days in total but I'm getting 26 days.
DECLARE #StartDate DATETIME
DECLARE #EndDate DATETIME
SET #StartDate = '2018/05/01'
SET #EndDate = '2018/05/31'
SELECT
(DATEDIFF(dd, #StartDate, #EndDate+1)) -(DATEDIFF(wk, #StartDate, #EndDate))
-(CASE WHEN IsAlternateOffday2 = 1 THEN 1 END) FROM HRM.tbl_Shift
this will give 23:
SELECT
(DATEDIFF(dd, #StartDate, #EndDate+1)) -(DATEDIFF(wk, #StartDate, #EndDate))
-ISNULL((CASE WHEN IsAlternateOffday2 = 1 THEN (DATEDIFF(wk, #StartDate, #EndDate)) END), 0)
FROM HRM.tbl_Shift
This subtracts 2 days for every weekend. Check your server config if Sunday is first or last day of the week. This can throw things off by a weekend.
SELECT DATEPART(WEEKDAY,'20180506') --Checks if Sunday is Day 1 or Day 7
DECLARE #start DATETIME = '20180501'
DECLARE #end DATETIME = '20180531'
SELECT DATEDIFF(DAY,#start,#end+1) - (DATEDIFF(WEEK,#start,#end+1)*2)
UPDATE:
Use COALESCE to replace NULLS with an alternative value.
DECLARE #offdate DATETIME = NULL
SELECT COALESCE(#offdate,GETDATE())
Try This
DECLARE #StartDate DATE ='2018-05-01',
#EndDate DATE ='2018-05-31'
;WITH CTE
AS
(
SELECT DATEADD(DD,Number-1,#StartDate) MOnthDates,
DATENAME(DW,DATEADD(DD,Number-1,#StartDate)) As DayNAmes,
CASE WHEN DATENAME(DW,DATEADD(DD,Number-1,#StartDate)) IN ('Saturday','Sunday') THEN 0 ELSE 1 END WeekDays
FROM master.dbo.spt_values
WHERE [Type]='P'
AND Number Between 1 AND 10000
)
SELECT COUNT(WeekDays) AS WeekDaysCount
FROM CTE
WHERE WeekDays<>0
AND MOnthDates Between #StartDate AND DATEADD(DAY,1,#EndDate)
Result

This was what I created after reviewing the answers. I needed the number of days per month for several months. The below will provide that, and insert it into the #MonthDayCount table. Note: I named a field Month, even though that is a SQL Server defined term; you can change it if needed.
You must enter the first day of the month and the last for it to count the first and last month correctly. If you entered 1/2/2022, it would result in January being short one day.
DECLARE #StartDate DATE = '1/01/2021'--The start of the first month the number of days are needed for.
DECLARE #EndDate DATE = '1/31/2021'--The end of the first month the number of days are needed for.
DECLARE #FinalDate DATE = '12/31/2022'--This is the last month that will be inserted. Includes this month.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#MonthDayCount', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #MonthDayCount;
CREATE TABLE #MonthDayCount
(
[Month] VARCHAR(MAX),
[# of WeekDays] INT,
[EOM] DATE
)
WHILE #StartDate <= #FinalDate
BEGIN
INSERT INTO

-(CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, #StartDate) = 'Sunday' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
-(CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, #EndDate) = 'Saturday' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
),

Get only Saturday and Sunday dates of month in SQL Server

Can I find the date of a day that is on which dates the Saturdays and Sundays of a specific month fall? For e.g consider the month of JANUARY-2017. The following dates are weekend days:
7/1/2017 - Saturday
14/1/2017 - Saturday
21/1/2017 - Saturday
28/1/2017 - Saturday
1/1/2017 - Sunday
8/1/2017 - Sunday
15/1/2017 - Sunday
22/1/2017 - Sunday
29/1/2017 - Sunday
I want a SQL Server query for this such that when I pass in month and year as input, I should get back all the above dates (only dates of Saturday and Sunday) as output
I do not wish to use any user defined function and want to finish it in a single SELECT statement
Note: As already noted by another user in the comments, this query depends upon your server settings, namely DATEFIRST. If you need alterations to the query because of different settings, just tell me and I can change it around for you.
Using a CTE as dummy data...
/* Ignore this part...*/
WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT CAST('01/01/2017' AS DATE) AS [Date]
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(DAY,1,[Date])
FROM CTE
WHERE DATE <= '12/31/2017'
)
/*Your actual SELECT statement would look like this, from your own table of course*/
SELECT
[Date]
,CASE DATEPART(dw,[Date])
WHEN 1 THEN 'Sunday'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Monday'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Tuesday'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Wednesday'
WHEN 5 THEN 'Thursday'
WHEN 6 THEN 'Friday'
WHEN 7 THEN 'Saturday'
END
FROM CTE
WHERE DATEPART(dw,[Date]) IN (1,7)
AND MONTH([Date]) = 12--<month>
AND YEAR([Date]) = 2017--<year>
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0) -- You won't need this line if you're querying a real table
;
If running that works for you, then your real query would probably look something like this:
SELECT
[Date]
,CASE DATEPART(dw,[Date])
WHEN 1 THEN 'Sunday'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Monday'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Tuesday'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Wednesday'
WHEN 5 THEN 'Thursday'
WHEN 6 THEN 'Friday'
WHEN 7 THEN 'Saturday'
END
FROM < the table you want >
WHERE DATEPART(dw,[Date]) IN (1,7) -- Only Sundays and Saturdays
AND MONTH([Date]) = < the month you want >
AND YEAR([Date]) = < the year you want >
;
If you want to generate the data, then a CTE is the way to go. If you're passing parameters, it would look something like this:
DECLARE
#MONTH INT
,#YEAR INT
;
SET #MONTH = 1;
SET #YEAR = 2017;
WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT CAST(CAST(#MONTH AS VARCHAR(2)) + '/01/' + CAST(#YEAR AS VARCHAR(4)) AS [Date]) AS DATE
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(DAY,1,[Date])
FROM CTE
WHERE DATE <= CAST(#MONTH AS VARCHAR(2)) +
CASE
WHEN #MONTH IN (9,4,6,11)
THEN '/30/'
WHEN #MONTH IN (1,3,5,7,8,10,12)
THEN '/31/'
WHEN #MONTH = 2 AND #YEAR/4.00 = #YEAR/4
THEN '/29/'
ELSE '/28/'
END
+ CAST(#YEAR AS VARCHAR(4))
)
SELECT
[Date]
,CASE DATEPART(dw,[Date])
WHEN 1 THEN 'Sunday'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Monday'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Tuesday'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Wednesday'
WHEN 5 THEN 'Thursday'
WHEN 6 THEN 'Friday'
WHEN 7 THEN 'Saturday'
END
FROM CTE
WHERE DATEPART(dw,[Date]) IN (1,7)
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0)

Please try this one.
DECLARE #Year AS INT=2017,
#Month AS INT=3,
#FirstDateOfYear DATETIME,
#LastDateOfYear DATETIME
SELECT #FirstDateOfYear = DATEADD(yyyy, #Year - 1900, 0)

-- Creating Query to Prepare Year Data
;WITH cte AS (
SELECT 1 AS DayID,

UNION ALL
SELECT cte.DayID + 1 AS DayID,

)
SELECT FromDate AS Date, Dayname
FROM CTE
WHERE DayName IN ('Saturday','Sunday') and month(FromDate) = #Month
OPTION (MaxRecursion 370)
This should do the trick:
DECLARE #month date = '2017-01-01'
SET #month = dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, #month), 0)
;WITH CTE as
(
SELECT 0 x

SELECT

datename(weekday, cDate) Weekday
FROM CTE2
WHERE
datediff(d,0,cDate)%7 > 4
Fiddle
From https://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/finding-the-correct-weekday-regardless-of-datefirst, you simply:
(DATEPART(dw, #your_date) + ##DATEFIRST) % 7 NOT BETWEEN 2 AND 6
As requested, single select, language neutral, dateFirst neutral, almost SQL version neutral:
declare #OneDate datetime = '28/01/2017'; -- Any date from the target month/year
select MyDate -- raw date or ...
-- convert(varchar, MyDate, 103) + ' - ' + dateName(dw, MyDate) -- as Sample
as WeekEndDate
from (
select dateAdd(dd, number, dateAdd(mm, dateDiff(mm, 0, #OneDate), 0)) as MyDate
from master..spt_values
where type = 'P' and number < 31
) j
where 1 + (datePart(dw, MyDate) + ##DATEFIRST + 5) % 7 in (6, 7)
and month(MyDate) = month(#OneDate)
-- order by 1 + (datePart(dw, MyDate) + ##DATEFIRST + 5) % 7, MyDate -- as Sample
;
Another way to solve this problem as follow -
DECLARE #MONTH INT,#YEAR INT
SET #MONTH = 1;
SET #YEAR = 2017;
Declare #StartDate date =CAST(CAST(#MONTH AS VARCHAR(2)) + '/01/' + CAST(#YEAR AS VARCHAR(4)) AS [Date]), #EndDate date
Set #EndDate = EOMONTH(#StartDate)
Declare #Temp table (DateOfDay date, DaysName varchar(50))
While(#StartDate <= #EndDate)
Begin
Insert into #Temp
SELECT #StartDate DateOfMonth,
case when DATENAME(DW, #StartDate) = 'Saturday' then DATENAME(DW, #StartDate)
when DATENAME(DW, #StartDate) = 'Sunday' then DATENAME(DW, #StartDate)
end DaysName
set #StartDate = DATEADD(d,1,#StartDate)
End
select * from #Temp where DaysName is not null order by DaysName, DateOfDay
Can't you do something like this?
SELECT DATENAME(dw,'10/11/2016') AS DATE
WHERE DATE CONTAINS('Saturday') OR DATE CONTAINS('SUNDAY')
and instead of '10/11/2016' you only have to figure out how to generate all the dates in a month/year?

How can I count the number of days?
Example in February 2013 which has "19, 21, 23, 27" that should be count to "4" days .. ??
I found this method ..
SELECT DATEPART(yy, Daterecord),
DATEPART(mm, Daterecord),
DATEPART(dd, Daterecord),
COUNT(*)
FROM Records
GROUP BY DATEPART(yy, Daterecord),
DATEPART(mm, Daterecord),
DATEPART(dd, Daterecord)
and resulted to ..
2013 2 19 1
2013 2 21 1
2013 2 23 1
2013 2 27 1
2013 3 3 1
2013 3 10 1
2013 3 14 1
2013 3 16 1
it just get the specific dates but didm't count the total number of days in each month .. help me .. pls
I have change few names hopr you won't mind
WITH Emp_CTE AS (
SELECT EmployeeID ,DATEPART(yy, Daterecord) AS years,
DATEPART(mm, Daterecord) AS months
-- DATEPART(dd, Daterecord) AS days
FROM testTrial
)
SELECT COUNT(months) AS noOfMonths ,* FROM Emp_CTE GROUP BY months,EmployeeID,years
SqlFiddle
Let you try this:-
1: Find the number of days in whatever month we're currently in
DECLARE #dt datetime
SET #dt = getdate()
SELECT #dt AS [DateTime],
DAY(DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, -1, #dt), -1)) AS [Days in Month]Solution
2: Find the number of days in a given month-year combo
DECLARE #y int, #m int
SET #y = 2012
SET #m = 2
SELECT #y AS [Year],
#m AS [Month],
DATEDIFF(DAY,
DATEADD(DAY, 0, DATEADD(m, ((#y - 1900) * 12) + #m - 1, 0)),
DATEADD(DAY, 0, DATEADD(m, ((#y - 1900) * 12) + #m, 0))
) AS [Days in Month]
If your table is called Employee then this will do the trick:
select convert(varchar, DateRecord, 112)/ 100, count(*)
from Employee
group by convert(varchar, DateRecord, 112)/ 100
Your initial query was almost right, just needed to remove the DATEPART(dd, Daterecord) from the grouping and it would work. Add in a HAVING clause to find the records from the month of February:
SELECT
DATEPART(yy, Daterecord),
DATEPART(mm, Daterecord),
COUNT(1)
FROM
Records
GROUP BY
DATEPART(yy, Daterecord),
DATEPART(mm, Daterecord)
HAVING
DATEPART(yy, eCreationTime) = 2013
AND DATEPART(mm, Daterecord) = 2
there is no 'yearmonth' in the suggested code ??
try this perhaps
select
datename(month,daterecord) as [Month]
, year(DateRecord) as [Year]
, count(distinct DateRecord ) as day_count
, count(distinct dateadd(day, datediff(day,0, DateRecord ), 0)) as daytime_count
from your_table
where ( DateRecord >= '20130201' and DateRecord < '20130301' )
group by
datename(month,daterecord)
, year(DateRecord)
note the column [daytime_count] is only required if the field [DateRecord] has times othe than 12:00 AM (i.e. it "trims off" times so you deal with dates at 12:AM)
Regarding date range selections: many people will feel that using 'between' is the solution however that isn't true and the safest most reliable method is as I shown above. Note that the higher date is 1st March, but we are asking for information that is less than the 1st March, so we don't need to worry about leap years and we don't have to worry about hours and minutes either.
see: What do BETWEEN and the devil have in common?
try this...
