Hello , here is my question, i would like to run a job that creates a report every month. This report will be run on the 15th of every month. What i need is the report to show from the previous month of the 15th to the current month 14th. I know I have to use a datediff and probably a dateadd but not to sure how to go about it. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Use a where clause like this:
WHERE 
	YourDateColumn >= DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE())-1,14)
	AND YourDateColumn < DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE()),14)
This is really asking to start on the 15th of last month and go up to anything that is LESS than the 15th of the current month - which is the best way to do what you described.
