Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is.

First day of week gives different results in sql and crystal reports

Asked by sullym6 in Crystal Reports Software, SQL Server 2005

Tags: SQL Server, Crystal reports

I have a function writen in SQL that returns the first day of a given week as follows
( @pInputDate DATETIME )
RETURNS datetime
Begin
Declare @result datetime
if datepart(dw,@pInputDate)= 7
set @result = convert(datetime,@pInputDate,126)
else
set @result = convert(datetime,DATEADD(DD, 0-DATEPART(DW, @pInputDate),@pInputDate),126)
RETURN @result
END
This works fine in SQL but when the query is run in Crystal 11 reports I get different results (seem to be 1 day out) Now I am thinking it is because DATEPART(DW, @pInputDate) gives different results in SQL and Crystal.

In SQL a date of 27/07/2009 give result of 25/07/2009 (correct)
In Crystal a date of 27/07/2009 gives result of 26/07/2009 (wrong)

I am running SQL server 2000 SP3 and crsytal reports X1 revison 2
