Hello,
I have these existing codes:
CASE WHEN Month(GetDate()) BETWEEN 2 AND 7 THEN 2
ELSE 1 END AS FiscalCyle
This one works, when the months fall between February to July.
There are more modifications that I need to make with the following logics work:
CASE WHEN Month(GetDate()) BETWEEN August 1st AND October 31st THEN 1
WHEN Month(GetDate()) BETWEEN November 1st AND January 31st THEN 2
WHEN Month(GetDate()) BETWEEN February 1st AND April 30th THEN 3
WHEN Month(GetDate()) BETWEEN May 1st AND July 31st THEN 4
Else ...........
End as FiscalCycle
(fiscal year starts in August - end of July)
What can I do to ensure that, it happens from August through July (Chrologolically) ?
Thanks.

Add a "Year" component to sort on. Better yet, build a "Calendar" table.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
