Question

Below is my code that will return all the months in a year.

SELECT TOP 12
DATENAME(MONTH, DATEADD(MONTH,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY object_id) - 1,0))
FROM sys.columns

What change must I make to only return the months that have passed and the current month?

Answer 1

Try this instead.

select DATENAME(month, dateadd(month, number-1,0))
from master..spt_values
where type='p'
and number between 1 and MONTH(getdate())
