It almost looks like there should be an additional radio selection, the last one.

Even if it is not commented out, option four returns two values, only one of them the right one, so really guessing the intent of the is borderline impossible.

Ah, that's the issue. Cut and pasted too much. Was only supposed to be the second one.

The answer boxes are small, so it's hard to see longer code samples and I missed that.

Points awarded back.

Especially to the experienced - the inexperienced are more likely to check things afterwards 🙂

+1 for the experienced but the proof of a good creator of QOD is to recognize it.

So , Steve , +1 for you and thank you very much to recognize the error ( the explanation is interesting and could apply to some other "erroneous or not easily understandable QOD ).

Anyway , I have learnt about English/us words...

Good question. Just one minor thing, I'd use the following the end of the calendar year:

SELECT DATEADD(DAY, -1, DATEADD(YEAR, DATEDIFF(YEAR, 0, GETDATE()) + 1, 0));

SELECT DATEADD(DAY, -1, DATEADD(YEAR, DATEDIFF(YEAR, 0, GETDATE()) + 1, 0));

So short and good way...

+1 and thanks

Slow / lazy typer

😎

SELECT DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()),12,31)

or

SELECT DATETIMEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()),12,31,0,0,0,0)

SELECT DATEADD(DAY, -1, DATEADD(YEAR, DATEDIFF(YEAR, 0, GETDATE()) + 1, 0));

With the understanding that both -1's (1899-12-31) are in a year earlier than 0 (1900-01-01), you can get way with murder.

SELECT DATEADD(yy,DATEDIFF(yy,-1,GETDATE()),-1); --Last Day of Current Year

Never imagined I would ever boost in this way but mine is (4 characters) shorter than yours:-D

You got me beat too.
