I'm currently trying to get the first and last day of any year. I have data from 1950 and I want to get the first day of the year in the dataset to the last day of the year in the dataset (note that the last day of the year might not be December 31rst and same with the first day of the year).
Initially I thought I could use a CTE
and call DATEPART
with the day of the year selection, but this wouldn't partition appropriately. I also tried a CTE
self-join, but since the last day or first day of the year might be different, this also yields inaccurate results.
For instance, using the below actually generates some MIN
s in the MAX
and vice versa, though in theory it should only grab the MAX
date for the year and the MIN
date for the year:
;WITH CT AS(
SELECT Points
, Date
, DATEPART(DY,Date) DA
FROM Table
WHERE DATEPART(DY,Date) BETWEEN 363 AND 366
OR DATEPART(DY,Date) BETWEEN 1 AND 3
)
SELECT MIN(c.Date) MinYear
, MAX(c.Date) MaxYear
FROM CT c
GROUP BY YEAR(c.Date)
I should refrain from developing in the evenings because I solved it, and it's actually quite simple:
SELECT MIN(Date)
, MAX(Date)
FROM Table
GROUP BY YEAR(Date)
I can put these values into a CTE
and then JOIN
on the dates and get what I need:
;WITH CT AS(
SELECT MIN(Date) Mi
, MAX(Date) Ma
FROM Table
GROUP BY YEAR(Date)
)
SELECT c.Mi
, m.Points
, c.Ma
, f.Points
FROM CT c
INNER JOIN Table m ON c.Mi = m.Date
INNER JOIN Table f ON c.Ma = f.Date
