  How are dates related to table structure?

  Just help the guy!

  Sale in Last Year?

  Does that mean previous full year or current running last year?

  DECLARE @WorkDate DATETIME, @StartDate DATETIME, @EndDate DATETIME

  Assume @WorkDate is the date the end users selects.

  Previous full year is then selected with

  SELECT @StartDate = '1/1/' + CAST(YEAR(@WorkDate) - 1 AS VARCHAR(4), @EndDate = '12/31/' + CAST(YEAR(@WorkDate) - 1 AS VARCHAR(4)

  If current running last year is then selected with

  SELECT @StartDate = DATEADD(yyyy, -1, @WorkDate), @EndDate = @WorkDate

  Last 6 Months?

  Does that mean previous full six months or current running last six months?

  DECLARE @WorkDate DATETIME, @StartDate DATETIME, @EndDate DATETIME

  Assume @WorkDate is the date the end users selects.

  Previous full six months is then selected with

  SELECT @StartDate = CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), DATEADD(mm, -6, @WorkDate), 112) + '01',

   @EndDate = DATEADD(dd, -1, DATEADD(mm, 6, @StartDate))

  If current running last six months is then selected with

  SELECT @StartDate = DATEADD(mm, -6, @WorkDate), @EndDate = @WorkDate

  Last Quarter?

  Does that mean previous full quarter or current running last quarter?

  DECLARE @WorkDate DATETIME, @StartDate DATETIME, @EndDate DATETIME

  Assume @WorkDate is the date the end users selects.

  Previous full quarter is then selected with

  SELECT @StartDate = CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), DATEADD(mm, -3 - (MONTH(@WorkDate) -1) % 3 , @WorkDate), 112) + '01',

   @EndDate = DATEADD(dd, -1, DATEADD(mm, 3, @StartDate))

  If current running last quarter is then selected with

  SELECT @StartDate = DATEADD(mm, -3, @WorkDate), @EndDate = @WorkDate

  This Quarter?

  Does that mean current full quarter or current running last quarter?

  DECLARE @WorkDate DATETIME, @StartDate DATETIME, @EndDate DATETIME

  Assume @WorkDate is the date the end users selects.

  Current full quarter is then selected with

  SELECT @StartDate = CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), DATEADD(mm, - (MONTH(@WorkDate) -1) % 3 , @WorkDate), 112) + '01',

   @EndDate = DATEADD(dd, -1, DATEADD(mm, 3, @StartDate))

  If current running last quarter is then selected with

  SELECT @StartDate = DATEADD(mm, -3, @WorkDate), @EndDate = @WorkDate
