Go Back 5 business Days
Seeing if anyone knows how to query back 5 business days?
business days meaning no weekends.
So if I ran today(12/19) it would return a date of 12/13/2013

DECLARE @daysback INT = 5
WHILE(DATEPART(DW, GETDATE() - @daysback) IN (1,7))
BEGIN
SET @daysback = @daysback + 1
END
SELECT CONVERT(DATE,GETDATE() - @daysback, 101)ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

declare @dateStart datetime
, @dateEnd datetime
, @counter int
-- chop off time, initialize variable
select @dateStart = convert(varchar,current_timestamp,101)
, @dateEnd = convert(varchar,current_timestamp,101)
, @counter = 1
-- go back 5 days
While @counter <= 5 begin
select @dateStart = dateadd(dd,-1,@dateStart)
, @counter = @counter + case when datepart(weekday,@dateStart) in (1,7) then 0 else 1 end
end
-- show results
select @dateStart
