Question

So, I found this nice little query:

Select    count(*) 
FROM      Table_X 
WHERE     year(DATE) = '2012' 
GROUP BY  month(DATE)

Which does almost exactly what I need.. Except I need to query the data of current month, up until 1 year ago. So for October, sept, aug, jul, jun, may, apr, mar, feb, jan 2012 and dec, nov 2011..

So I could just wait till the end of december to make the report 🙂 . But there must be some other way?

Answer 1

Try using DATEADD to calculate the date 12 months ago:

Select    count(*) 
FROM      Table_X 
WHERE     DATE > = DATEADD(YEAR,-1,GETDATE())
GROUP BY  month(DATE)

If the problem is more complicated than this, post it and I’ll add to my answer.
