Hi All,

I need to get the order count of all orders prior to last month only. In jan, I need to get only the count for Nov. The below query is
pulling the count for both Nov as well as Dec. How do I just get it for Nov only?

select product_name, count(distinct(order_id),
convert(datetime,(convert(varchar(10),order_rcd_date,101)),101)
from orders
where order_rcd_date>convert(datetime,convert(varchar(11), dateadd(m,-2,getdate())))-datepart(dd,getdate())+1)
group by
product_name, convert(datetime,(convert(varchar(10),order_rcd_date,101)),101)

Thanks for your help,
Petronas

What is the datatype of order_rcd_date column ??

try this

select product_name, count(distinct(order_id),
convert(datetime,(convert(varchar(10),order_rcd_date,101)),101)
from orders
where DATEDIFF(mm,order_rcd_date,getdate()) = 2
group by
product_name, convert(datetime,(convert(varchar(10),order_rcd_date,101)),101)

if you want to use existing index on date field,


select product_name, count(distinct(order_id),
 dateadd(dd,datediff(dd,0,order_rcd_date),0)
from orders
where order_rcd_date>=DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE())-2,0)
and order_rcd_date<DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE())-1,0)
group by
product_name, dateadd(dd,datediff(dd,0,order_rcd_date),0)
