I want to wrtie query where get count from previous month if match with key.
This is data we have
Output
1 record has match is 2 because it has in 2 subsequent previous month data was there with mainhost
2 record has match is 1 because it has in 1 subsequent previous month data was there with mainhost
3 record has match is 0 because it has in 0 subsequent previous month data was there with mainhost
4 record has match is 1 because it has in 1 subsequent previous month data was there with mainhost
5 record has match is 0 because it has in 0 subsequent previous month data was there with mainhost
6 record has match is 0 because it has in 0 subsequent previous month data was there with mainhost
Here is table definition
create table test_data ( id int , mainhost int, enter_date date )
insert into test_data Values ( 1 , 500 , '20231231') , ( 2 , 501 , '20231230') ,
( 3 , 500 , '20231130') , ( 4 , 500 , '20231031') , ( 5 , 501 , '20231130') ,
( 6 , 501 , '20230928')
select * from test_data
order by mainhost, enter_date desc

Use LAG or LEAD analytical functions.

Can you please confirm this statement:

1 record has match is 2 because it has in 2 subsequent previous month data was there with mainhost

You are referring to the 2023-12-31 row, with mainhost 500.

But there is only one row in 2023-11, with mainhost = 500. So why is match 2 and not 1?

WITH MonthCheck
AS
(
    SELECT mainhost, enter_date
        ,IIF(MONTH(enter_date) - 1
            = LEAD(MONTH(enter_date)) OVER (PARTITION BY mainhost ORDER BY enter_date DESC)
            , 1, 0) AS IsPrevMonth
    FROM test_data
)
,Grps
AS
(
    SELECT mainhost, enter_date, IsPrevMonth
        ,SUM(IsPrevMonth ^ 1) OVER (PARTITION BY mainhost ORDER BY enter_date DESC) AS Grp
    FROM MonthCheck
)
SELECT mainhost, enter_date
    ,IIF(IsPrevMonth = 0, 0
            ,SUM(IsPrevMonth) OVER (PARTITION BY mainhost, Grp ORDER BY enter_date)
        ) AS [Match]
FROM Grps
ORDER BY mainhost, enter_date DESC;

I believe it's because, for Dec, previous rows exist for both Nov and Oct, i.e., two consecutive previous months.

Ken's code is nice, but theoretically I believe it could yield a false positive if the previous month happened to be 13 months prior to the current month. For example, Feb 2023 followed by Jan 2022.

This query looks for the minimum previous appropriate enter_date for each row and then calculates the DATEDIFF. The sample was expanded to include a greater than 12 month gap

drop table if exists #test_data;
go
create table #test_data ( id int , mainhost int, enter_date date );

insert into #test_data Values
( 1 , 500 , '20231231') , ( 2 , 501 , '20231230') ,
( 3 , 500 , '20231130') , ( 4 , 500 , '20231031') , ( 5 , 501 , '20231130') ,
( 6 , 501 , '20230928'),
( 7 , 500 , '20220928'),
( 11 , 500 , '20220828'),
( 8 , 501 , '20230628'),
( 9 , 501 , '20230528'),
( 10 , 501 , '20230428');

with data_cte as (
    select *, row_number() over (partition by mainhost order by enter_date desc) rn
    from #test_data)
select *, isnull(datediff(month, prev_dt.min_dt, d.enter_date), 0) dt_diff
from data_cte d
     outer apply (select min(dc.enter_date)
                  from data_cte dc
                  where dc.mainhost=d.mainhost
                        and dc.enter_date<d.enter_date
                        and datediff(month, dc.enter_date, d.enter_date)=(dc.rn-d.rn)) prev_dt(min_dt);

You are, of course, correct. I was thinking that the test data did not include the group possibility and did not look at anything else.

MONTH(enter_date) should be replaced with:

(YEAR(enter_date) * 100 + MONTH(enter_date))
