Week Days generation
-
My question is only about Week Ending & Week # columns, they need to be generated by sql. Could some help me with the sql. If needed assume any fictitious table names. I just need some idea.
Thanks in advance.

I use a calendar table for that. It's just a table of dates and the data about them.
create table dbo.Calendar (CalendarDate datetime primary key,-- Date datatype in SQL 2008
constraint CK_WholeDays check (CalendarDate = dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, CalendarDate), 0), -- Only whole days, not needed if Date datetype on PK
DayOfWeek tinyint,
QuarterNumber tinyint,
WorkDay bit not null,
WeekEnding datetime not null references dbo.Calendar(CalendarDate), -- Could add constraints to make sure this matches a date with DayOfWeek = 7 or whatever
... other columns relevant to your business ... );
Populate something like that, join to it, and you've got what you need. Has a ton of other uses, like workdays between two dates, end-dates/begin-dates for quarters, sorting by fiscal calendar month instead of actual calendar month, and so on.

I am not actually creating a table. I am creating a report. I need sql to generate Week Ending and week # in a SSRS report not a table. They are not pulled from a table. They follow some sequence. Please help me. Thank you.

Does the SSRS report pull data from a query that connects to a database?
