Hello!
I am writing a query for a project in a class. I am going to create a particular view.

However, I come up with a problem. One of output from the view is that I should display the top 5 sellers which have sold most the last month.

The last month is the problem.

First, I though it was a simple task and was going to use datediff:
datediff(mm, "Date Column", GetDate())

However, that of course didn't work. I tried some other examples with datediff and datepart (with month, day of year) etc. but the problems always lies at the yearly break.

Do I need to make some condition statement or is there any easier way to do this?

I have read a little post about converting it to Julian format, but I want to hear your input first.

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
KFluffie
