Question

I am Working On ASP.NET_C# Application

I am pulling out some Dates form SQL on a Grid View.

But instead of those Dates, I like to see how mush “Plus +” or “minus –“ It is form Today’s Date.

For Example

Today’s Date is = 11/02/2012

If the Date from SQL is 07/02/2012, I like my Grid to show -4

Or

If the Date from SQL is 17/02/2012, I like my Grid to show +6

Please Help me, How do I go about doing that….

This is My SQL Query; That I am working With

SELECT MAX(AmountPay.DateUpto) AS [ PaidUpTo], TimeTable.Name, TimeTable.Ref, TimeTable.Time11to12 FROM AmountPay FULL OUTER JOIN TimeTable ON AmountPay.Ref = TimeTable.Ref WHERE (TimeTable.Time11to12 = @Time11to12) GROUP BY TimeTable.Name, TimeTable.Ref, TimeTable.Time11to12

AmountPay.DateUpto is the Date I Like see as + or –

I have Been Suggested Datediff Function; and I have Used datediff function for working out things like Age from Date of Birth but I can’t work out; how I can use this in the Case
Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

SELECT DATEDIFF(day,GetDate(), MAX(AmountPay.DateUpto)) AS [ PaidUpTo], TimeTable.Name, TimeTable.Ref, TimeTable.Time11to12 FROM AmountPay FULL OUTER JOIN TimeTable ON AmountPay.Ref = TimeTable.Ref WHERE (TimeTable.Time11to12 = @Time11to12) GROUP BY TimeTable.Name, TimeTable.Ref, TimeTable.Time11to12
