  • When I paste the OP's latest code into VS and run it it generates an incorrect calendar table.  My interpretation of the OP's unresponsiveness amounts to "just make my kludge work, thanks".  The OP has an incorrect calendar and would like the correct one.  The OP did post data but in another thread (where I took a shot at a query before realizing the calendarization issue).  The OP probably just assumes you're omniscient about what happens in other threads.  It's not true?   To fill in missing gaps between 2020W52 and 2021W02 it was unclear whether the missing element(s) is/are { 2020W53 , 2021W01 } or  { 2021W01 }

  • Ok... so no test data provided in a readily consumable format.  The following code will help you do what you're trying to do.  It shouldn't take much a a leap on your part to incorporate it into a solution. (see my next post after this one for a slightly different version that has a few additional columns

     CREATE FUNCTION dbo.CalendarByDateFirst
    /**********************************************************************************************************************
    Purpose:
    Returns whole-week dates for a given date range of one or more dates based on the given "@pDateFirst" parameter.

    When a value of "1" (Monday) is used for "@pDateFirst", it returns the same week numbers according to ISO Rules and
    does similar for any other starting day of the week. Note that Week #1 does NOT necessarily start on 01 January like
    the WK date-part does.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Example usage:
    --===== Syntax only
    SELECT *
    FROM dbo.CalendarByDateFirst(@pLoDate,@pHiDate,@pDateFirst) --No defaults assumed.
    ;
    --===== Normal usage for "ISO" Monday Weeks
    -- Use variable or literals.
    SELECT *
    FROM CalendarByDateFirst(@pLoDate,@pHiDate,1) -- "1" is Monday.
    ;
    --===== Normal usage for weeks that start on Sundays, follow similar rules as ISO for week numbering but for Sundays.
    -- Use variable or literals.
    SELECT *
    FROM CalendarByDateFirst(@pLoDate,@pHiDate,7) -- "7" is for "Sunday".
    ;
    --===== Self-identifying weeks based on the setting of DATEFIRST.
    -- Use variable or literals.
    SELECT *
    FROM CalendarByDateFirst(@pLoDate,@pHiDate,@@DATEFIRST) -- Language dependent! Be careful!
    ;
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Dependencies:
    This function uses as unit series generator function called "dbo.fnTally". That function can be downloaded from the
    following URL: https://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/create-a-tally-function-fntally

    At the time of this writing, SQL Server 2022 RTM had not yet hit the streets and an RTM. When it does and when you
    upgrade, it could be substituted for dbo.fnTally().

    In the meantime, this will work in all versions of SQL Server from 2012 and on. It could be modified to work with
    earlier versions but you really should upgrade. :D
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Programmer's Notes:
    Basically, all the info you may need is in the comments in the code. The results from this code can be used as a
    Calendar Table or be used to create one, either of which can be used to solve a multitude of date/week related
    problems including a typical "fill in the missing dates" problems.

    If you don't like the names of the columns being used, change them!

    For more information on how the formulas work, please see the following article.

  • Thanks a lot Jeff for your wonderful work.

  • Here's Rev 02 with a shedload more documentation in the flower box and 3 extra columns that seem useful to me.  I think I may turn this into an article for SQLServerCentral.com soon.  Thanks for the support folks.

     CREATE FUNCTION dbo.CalendarByDateFirst
    /**********************************************************************************************************************
    Purpose:
    *** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING ***
    DO NOT EXTRACT INDIVIDUAL FORMULAS FROM THIS FUNCTION AND EXPECT THEM TO WORK FOR DATES
    PRIOR TO 14 JAN 1900 AND EXPECT THEM TO WORK CORRECTLY. SOME MAY NOT.
    *** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING **** WARNING ***

    Generates a calendar from a given inclusive date range where the starting day of the weeks is also provided.

    The calendar works in a fashion similar to what the ISOWK date-part would generate but any day of the week can be
    specified as the starting day for weeks.

    1. Every week starts on the same day of the week as identified by the @pDateFirst parameter.
    2. Each week is assigned to a given YEAR or MONTH based on the 4th day of the week ("MidWkDt") because it inherently
    is an indication of which year or month has the most days in the week for weeks that "straddle" the 1st of a year
    or the first of a month. This also means that, unlike the WK date-part in SQL Server/T-SQL, the week numbers are
    NOT reset to "1" on the 1st of January.
    3. Similar to ISOWK, the number of weeks in a year will always be 52 or 53.
    4. This code is meant to be used only with the Gregorian Calendar but will work with dates earlier than 1753 according
    to what is currently offered in Microsoft's version of T-SQL starting in the 2008 version.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Parameters:
    All of the following parameters are required. There are no defaults.

    @pLoDate - The inclusive start of the date range to be returned.
    May be any legal date >= 07 Jan 0001 and <= 24 Dec 9999.
    @pHiDate - The inclusive end of the date range to be returned.
    May be ny legal date >= 07 Jan 0001 and <= 24 Dec 9999 and >= @pLoDate.
    @pDateFirst - The numeric starting day of the weeks.
    - This follows the same standard of the DATEFIRST setting in SQL Server and the ISO_8601 Standard.
    - "Monday" = 1 ... "Sunday" = 7.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Output:
    This function returns its output as a contstucted table like a view would.

    The following is the list of columns, datatypes, and brief description
    Column DateType Description
    -------- ------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Date DATE One of the dates in the series of dates that were generated.
    DWs NVARCHAR(60) Day of the week String
    DWi INT Numbered 1 to 7 from first day to last day of week.
    SoW DATE Start date of week
    EoW DATE End date of week (Accountants like this)
    SnW DATE Start date of next week (usually preferred when "time" is present in computing)
    YY# INT Year number the week is part of according to the "midweek" date.
    QQ# INT Quarter number the week is part of according to the MM# column
    MM# INT Month number the week is part of according to the "midweek" date.
    WK# INT Week number of the year according to the "midweek" date.
    YYYYwWK CHAR(8) An 8 byte concatenation of the YY#, the letter "W", and the WK#.

    Of course, you can substitute your favorite function for that, instead.

    At the time of this writing, SQL Server 2022 RTM had not yet hit the streets as an RTM. When it does and when you

    4. Feel free to remove and add columns according to your specific needs.

  • Thanks for the code modifications, Steve.  I'll take a deeper dive than just looking at it.  Nice to see someone actually test both out a bit.

    In the past, I've shyed away from replacing CTEs with CROSS APPLYs because of some performance issues in a couple of pieces of code.  Unfortunately, I've not gone back for a deeper dive on such cascading CROSS APPLYs.  Your good post reminds me that I actually need to go back for a deeper dive on those.  So, MUCH appreciated for what you've done.

    On that same note, I was doing some experimentation on the function I posted and was a bit ticked to see some implicit cast warnings in the Actual Execution plan around the two dates that really should be treated as if they were constants.  Just on a total SWAG, I made that an OUTER APPLY and the warnings went away.  When I changed them back to CROSS APPLY, the warning returned.  Of course, it also changed the execution plan a bit and I've not yet done a performance test to see if getting rid of the warnings by using OUTER APPLY is a good thing or not.

    It would be nice if MS came out with a better way to apply "constants" in iTVFs.  It may also be that moving those two calculations to the SELECT might bless them as "run time constants" (which the OUTER APPLY seemed to do) but it would totally undo the DRYness of the code, which is also valuable.

  • I'm also exploring a different method using the following formula for finding the week start, midweek, and end dates (the 1 needs to be changed to a 4 and 7 respectively) code where it's desired that DATEFIRST identifies the real start day of the week.

    CONVERT(DATE,DATEADD(dd,1-DATEPART(dw,SomeDT),SomeDT))

    The reason why is because it means that we don't need to find the offset days and can short-cut some other code.  Perhaps that will also provide a bit of performance improvement.  We'll find out.

  • No joy on the "new" formula.  It has about the same performance for the DATETIME datatype and is 50% slower for the DATE datatype.  It's also not "symmetrical" with how the start of other periods are determined so I'm abandoning it in-place except maybe to demonstrate that "different" doesn't always mean "better".

  • I'm doing some more checking but, just to be on the safe side, I added a warning to the flower box on the function I posted.

  • Hi Jeff,

    Sorry to get back you after long time.

    Is there possible to get next week data as well. Since this needs to be prolonged until last week of current date.

    create table #datatab(
    EmpNo INT NOT NULL
    ,WeekNo CHAR(8) NOT NULL
    ,Rnge SMALLINT NOT NULL);

    insert #datatab(EmpNo, WeekNo, Rnge) values
    (111, '2021W50', 50)
    ,(111, '2021W51', 51)
    ,(111, '2021W52', 52)
    ,(111, '2022W02', 10)
    ,(111, '2022W04', 17)
    ,(210, '2022W01', 22)
    ,(210, '2022W04', 55)
    ,(210, '2022W08', 15)
    ,(210, '2022W09', 26);

    --Select * from #datatab_arch

    ;with
    lead_cte as (select *, lead(WeekNo) over(partition by EmpNo order by WeekNo) lead_wk from #DataTab d)
    select l.*, nxt.nxt_wk, cal.YYYYwWk, expanded.CalcRnge,
    lag(expanded.CalcRnge, 1, 0) over (partition by l.empno order by cal.YYYYwWk) NewRnge
    from lead_cte l
    cross apply (select top(1) cd.YYYYwWk from dbo.CalendarByDateFirst('20211201', '20221231', 7) cd
    where cd.YYYYwWK>l.WeekNo order by cd.YYYYwWK) nxt(nxt_wk)

    cross apply (select distinct YYYYwWK from dbo.CalendarByDateFirst('20211201', '20221231', 7) cd
    where cd.YYYYwWK >= l.WeekNo and cd.YYYYwWK<coalesce(l.lead_wk, nxt.nxt_wk)) cal(YYYYwWk)

    cross apply (values (iif(l.WeekNo=cal.YYYYwWk, l.Rnge, 0))) expanded(CalcRnge)

    order by l.EmpNo, cal.YYYYwWk;

     

    Range

    Is it is possible to get one week extra data as shown below even if there is no input data for the corresponding weeks(based on the max(current week of current date) ) as shown below. Current week  is W35.

    Range

    Thanks!
