Question

How to capture the dates in my Total

Asked by: dba123

This query produces 21 days for @TotalPostingDays ...the days left after pulling out weekend days (sat and sun) and holidays. What I want to do is instead of pulling the total amount as a Count for
@TotalPostingDays I want to actually insert the actual dates that the @TotalPostingDays found into a table
DECLARE @TotalDaysInMonth int,
            @today datetime,
            @TotalWeekendDays int,
            @TotalHolidaysThisMonth int,
            @TotalPostingDays int

SET @today = GETDATE()

-- TOTAL DAYS THIS MONTH
SET @TotalDaysInMonth = CASE WHEN DatePart(mm,GetDate()) IN (1,3,5,7,8,10,12) THEN
      31
ELSE
      DateDiff(day,GetDate(),DateAdd(mm, 1, GetDate()))
END


-- TOTAL HOLIDAYS THIS MONTH
SELECT @TotalHolidaysThisMonth = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Apex_ReportingServer.dbo.Holidays
WHERE HolidayDate BETWEEN (DATEADD(DAY, -DATEPART(DAY, @today) + 1, @today))
        AND (DATEADD(DAY, -DATEPART(DAY, @today), DATEADD(MONTH, 1, @today))))


-- TOTAL # WEEKEND DAYS THIS MONTH
DECLARE @date DATETIME
SET @date = '20060101'

SELECT @TotalWeekendDays = 8 +
                CASE WHEN ISDATE(CONVERT(CHAR(6), @date, 112) + '29') = 1 THEN
          CASE WHEN DATENAME(WEEKDAY, CONVERT(CHAR(6), @date, 112) + '01') IN ('Saturday', 'Sunday')
               THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ELSE 0 END +
     CASE WHEN ISDATE(CONVERT(CHAR(6), @date, 112) + '30') = 1 THEN
          CASE WHEN DATENAME(WEEKDAY, CONVERT(CHAR(6), @date, 112) + '02') IN ('Saturday', 'Sunday')
               THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ELSE 0 END +
     CASE WHEN ISDATE(CONVERT(CHAR(6), @date, 112) + '31') = 1 THEN
          CASE WHEN DATENAME(WEEKDAY, CONVERT(CHAR(6), @date, 112) + '03') IN ('Saturday', 'Sunday')
               THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ELSE 0 END


SELECT @TotalPostingDays = @TotalDaysInMonth - (@TotalHolidaysThisMonth + @TotalWeekendDays)

Is this what you mean:

INSERT MyTableName(Col1, Col2, ..., TotalPostingDays)  VALUES (@Value1, @Value2, ..., @TotalPostingDays)

 

by: dba123Posted on 2006-01-30 at 16:51:55ID: 15829742

yes

 

by: dba123Posted on 2006-01-30 at 16:52:20ID: 15829743

no, just one column...insert all the dates found.

 

by: acperkinsPosted on 2006-01-30 at 16:52:21ID: 15829744

Never mind, I misunderstood your question.

 

by: dba123Posted on 2006-01-30 at 16:53:29ID: 15829746

let's say that @TotalPostingDays represented 21 records.  Some of the records had these dates:

1/1/2005
....
and so on

insert those into a table for me.  I need the actual records it found, not just the total here.

 

by: dba123Posted on 2006-01-30 at 16:53:46ID: 15829748

in this case, the dates, there are no records we're pulling from so that is what makes it hard for me.

 

by: LandyJPosted on 2006-01-30 at 17:59:34ID: 15830028

This will get you started.  This provides a list of Week Days for the current month.  You should be able to modify it to fit what you need.  I left it as a temporary table, but you'll probably want to make that a permanent table, depending on how often you want to run this process:

hth,
Landy


set nocount on
drop table #days
create table #days
      (MonthDay datetime,
      DayOfWeek int)

declare @Start_date datetime,
      @End_date datetime,
      @date datetime
set @Start_date ='1/1/' + cast(datepart(yy,getdate()) as varchar(4))
set @End_date ='12/31/' + cast(datepart(yy,getdate()) as varchar(4))
set @date = dateadd(dd,-1,@Start_date)

While @date < @End_date
  Begin
      SELECT @date = DATEADD(dd, 1,@date)
      INSERT INTO #days
      Values (@date, datepart(dw,@date))

  end

select MonthDay from #days where Datepart(dw, MonthDay) not in (1,7) and DatePart(mm,MonthDay) = DatePart(mm,GetDate())

 

by: dba123Posted on 2006-01-30 at 18:06:59ID: 15830048

Landy, thanks so much, not all I need to do is just check for holidays..much thanks!

 

by: LandyJPosted on 2006-01-30 at 18:11:25ID: 15830060

Sorry, I left out the Holiday part.  

set nocount on
drop table #days
create table #days
      (MonthDay datetime,
      DayOfWeek int,
      Holiday bit)

declare @Start_date datetime,
      @End_date datetime,
      @date datetime
set @Start_date ='1/1/' + cast(datepart(yy,getdate()) as varchar(4))
set @End_date ='12/31/' + cast(datepart(yy,getdate()) as varchar(4))
set @date = dateadd(dd,-1,@Start_date)

--Load table with all of this year's dates and dayofweek
While @date < @End_date
  Begin
      SELECT @date = DATEADD(dd, 1,@date)

      INSERT INTO #days
      Values (@date, datepart(dw,@date), 0)

  end

--Set the holidays
UPDATE #days
SET Holiday = 1
From  Apex_ReportingServer.dbo.Holidays h
      INNER JOIN #days d on d.MonthDate = h.HolidayDate
WHERE      
      DatePart(yy,h.HolidayDate) = DatePart(yy,GetDate())


--Get this month's work days
SELECT MonthDay
FROM #days
WHERE Datepart(dw, MonthDay) not in (1,7)
      and DatePart(mm,MonthDay) = DatePart(mm,GetDate())
      and Holiday <> 1

 

by: LandyJPosted on 2006-01-30 at 18:12:36ID: 15830064

I had already gone back and put the holiday stuff in before I saw the acceptance.  Thanks for the points.

 

by: Michael_DPosted on 2006-01-30 at 18:16:33ID: 15830077

So you actualy want to insert all working days into one column for given month, correct?
if yes tis should do the job

SET NOCOUNT ON
Declare @Holidays table (HolidayDate  datetime) -- this is temp table for holidays

Insert @Holidays values ('2006/1/1')                 -- just for test
Insert @Holidays values ('2006/1/2')

Declare @PostingDays table (PostingDay  datetime)  -- in this table we are going to insert dates



Declare @Today datetime -- is is your parameter date
select @Today= getdate()
Declare @CurrentDay datetime

Select @CurrentDay = cast( cast(year(@Today) as varchar(4)) +'/'+cast(month(@Today) as varchar(2)) +'/1'  as datetime)
WHILE month(@CurrentDay)=month(@Today)
      BEGIN
            IF NOT DATEPART(weekday, @CurrentDay) IN (1,7)
                  IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM @Holidays WHERE HolidayDate= @CurrentDay)
                        Insert into @PostingDays Values(@CurrentDay)
                SELECT @CurrentDay= DATEADD(Day,1,@CurrentDay)
      
      END
Select * FROM @PostingDays -- Check the results
