Get Particular Date from a Month

  • I would like to get a Thursday in a month which is followed with 2nd Tuesday. If the output is greater than today, Then I need to show the last month Thursday which is followed with 2nd Tuesday.

    For Instance,

    CASE 1 - If Today is 30 Nov 2020 -

    2nd Tue is 10 Nov 2020. Then the Output is (12 Nov 2020)

    CASE 2 - If Today is 1 Dec 2020 - Then, The output should be (12 Nov 2020) -

    Reason,  10 Dec 2020 (Thursday followed with 2nd Tue) is future date. 2nd Tue of Dec 2020 is 8th Dec 2020

  • When you write "which is followed with..." it seems you're intending it to mean "which follows the..."?   The following has 2 Common Table Expressions: 1) 'test_tues_cte' which contains all of the Tuesday dates in the test month and a row number ordered by date, and 2) 'prior_thurs_cte' which contains all of the Thursday dates in the month prior to the test_date and a row number ordered by date.  The rows were generated using a Tally function (which see here) and DATEADD function.   Something like this

    declare @test_dt        date='2020-11-30',
    @today date='2020-11-30';

    with
    test_tues_cte(tues_dt, rn) as (
    select tues_dt.dt, row_number() over (order by fn.n) rn
    from dbo.fnTally(0, day(eomonth(@test_dt))-1) fn
    cross apply (values (dateadd(day, fn.n, datefromparts(year(@test_dt), month(@test_dt), 1)))) tues_dt(dt)
    where datepart(weekday, tues_dt.dt)=3),
    prior_thurs_cte(thurs_dt, rn) as (
    select thurs_dt.dt, row_number() over (order by fn.n) rn
    from (values (eomonth(@test_dt, -1))) prior_mo(dt)
    cross apply dbo.fnTally(0, day(prior_mo.dt)-1) fn
    cross apply (values (dateadd(day, fn.n, datefromparts(year(prior_mo.dt), month(prior_mo.dt), 1)))) thurs_dt(dt)
    where datepart(weekday, thurs_dt.dt)=5)
    select case when test_thurs_dt.dt>@today
    then (select pt.thurs_dt
    from prior_thurs_cte pt
    where pt.rn=2)
    else test_thurs_dt.dt end answer_dt
    from test_tues_cte t
    cross apply (values (dateadd(day, 2, t.tues_dt))) test_thurs_dt(dt)
    where t.rn=2;

    Output

    answer_dt
    2020-11-12

    If the test_date is changed to 1 Dec 2020

    declare @test_dt        date='2020-12-01',
    @today date='2020-11-30';

    Output

    answer_dt
    2020-11-12

  • fnTally function is not available. Can you help me? - I'm intended to get Thursday of a month which is followed with 2nd Tuesday

  • Sorry... had to take down this post because I found a bug in the formula.

    See above.

    Steve, if you're going to use the fnTally function, you need to tell people where to get it.  Since I use it so often, I just put the link in my signature line and tell people to get it at that link.

  • Even if fnTally is not available it's still a useful article to read.  Any table with reliably more than 31 rows could be used tho.   In this case I created an additional CTE called 'numbers_cte' that contains 31 rows.  Then the 2 pre-existing CTE's were altered to use a TOP row goal to select the appropriate number of rows.  Also, both CTE's calculate using Tuesday dates and the convert to Thursday when necessary.

    declare @test_dt        date='2020-12-01',
    @today date='2020-11-30';

    with
    numbers_cte(n) as (
    select * from (values (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9),(10),
    (11),(12),(13),(14),(15),(16),(17),(18),(19),(20),
    (21),(22),(23),(24),(25),(26),(27),(28),(29),(30),
    (31)) v(n)),
    test_tues_cte(tues_dt, rn) as (
    select tues_dt.dt, row_number() over (order by fn.n) rn
    from (select top(day(eomonth(@test_dt))) * from numbers_cte) fn
    cross apply (values (dateadd(day, fn.n, datefromparts(year(@test_dt), month(@test_dt), 1)))) tues_dt(dt)
    where datepart(weekday, tues_dt.dt)=3),
    prior_tues_cte(tues_dt, rn) as (
    select tues_dt.dt, row_number() over (order by fn.n) rn
    from (values (eomonth(@test_dt, -1))) prior_mo(dt)
    cross apply (select top(day(eomonth(prior_mo.dt))) * from numbers_cte) fn
    cross apply (values (dateadd(day, fn.n, datefromparts(year(prior_mo.dt), month(prior_mo.dt), 1)))) tues_dt(dt)
    where datepart(weekday, tues_dt.dt)=3)
    select case when test_thurs_dt.dt>@today
    then (select (dateadd(day, 2, pt.tues_dt))
    from prior_tues_cte pt
    where pt.rn=2)
    else test_thurs_dt.dt end answer_dt
    from test_tues_cte t

  • Ok... One more time.  This time, actually verified.

    Here's the formula for use with GETDATE().   You can change the two "GETDATE()"s to a column in a table, as well.

     SELECT DATEADD(dd,2,DATEADD(dd,(DATEDIFF(dd,'17530101',DATEADD(dd,-DATEPART(dd,GETDATE()),GETDATE()))+6)/7*7,'17530109'))

    The following code is to test the formula.  The comments explain it all...

    -- including 2100-01-01.

  • There is another calendar format is used in the Scandinavian countries and has an ISO standard. It looks like "yyyyW[0-9][0-9]-[1-7]" the W is a number between 01 and 52 or 53 that is the number of the week within that year. The – separates out a number that represents the day of the week (1 = Monday, 7 = Sunday). You can download it and add it to your usual calendar table in the usual ISO-8601 "yyyy-mm-dd" display date. You can find a couple sites in the Internet and actually download the week–within–year display format as text. .

    Please post DDL and follow ANSI/ISO standards when asking for help.

    Just a little warning - you should not use a string literal in the function as that will be implicitly converted and could cause cardinality issues.  Instead - you can use the integer value which will be natively converted to a datetime value.

     SELECT DATEADD(dd,2,DATEADD(dd,(DATEDIFF(dd,-53690,DATEADD(dd,-DATEPART(dd,GETDATE()),GETDATE()))+6)/7*7,-53682))

    Normally - this would just be the second Thursday of the month...but for those dates between the 2nd Tuesday and the 2nd Thursday we would have an issue.  That is...on 2020-12-09 the Thursday following the 2nd Tuesday that is less than the current/test date would be 2020-12-10.

    Declare @testDate date = '2020-12-09';

    Select Top 1
    ThursdayFollowing = dateadd(day, 2, nwd.nthDate)
    From (Values (-1), (0)) As t(n)
    Cross Apply dbo.fnGetNthWeekDay(dateadd(month, t.n, @testDate), 2, 2) nwd
    Where nwd.nthDate <= @testDate
    Order By
    nwd.nthDate desc;

    This uses the following function:

     Create Function dbo.fnGetNthWeekDay (
    @theDate datetime
    , @theWeekday int
    , @theNthDay int
    )
    Returns Table
    As
    Return

    /*
    Adapted from a version published by Peter Larson - with minor modifications for performance
    and restructured to eliminate usage of a derived table.
    */

    Select theDate = @theDate
    , dt.nthDate
    From (Values (dateadd(month, datediff(month, @theNthDay, @theDate), 0))) As mm(FirstOfMonth)
    Cross Apply (Values (dateadd(day, 7 * @theNthDay - 7 * sign(@theNthDay + 1)
    + (@theWeekday + 6 - datediff(day, -53690, mm.FirstOfMonth) % 7) % 7, mm.FirstOfMonth))) As dt(nthDate)
    Where @theWeekday Between 1 And 7
    And datediff(month, dt.nthDate, @theDate) = 0
    And @theNthDay In (-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

    *** Yes - I really do need to add documentation to the function - just have not gotten around to it yet ***
