Hi all,
In my script I would like to do the following:
For example, today is 17th May 2016. In the where clause I would like the script to automatically calculate the following:
Start date to be 24 months back from today's date to the start of the month E.g. 01/06/2014
And End Date should be 1 year forwards to the end of the month of the current date. E.g. 31/06/2017.
How can I create these two variables in the script using the current date please?
Let vStart =Date( Monthstart(Today(),-23));
Let vEnd =Date( MonthEnd(Today(),13));
Adapt accordingly if you mean May instead of June
try this in script
start date: monthstart(addmonths(today(),-23)) as Startdate
end date: monthend(addmonths(today(),13) as Enddate
Hi John,
All of the answers to these questions can be found in a single Help article - "Date and Time Functions".
Something along these lines:
Date >= MonthStart(AddMonths(Today(), -24))
and
Date <= MonthEnd(AddMonth(Today(),12))
For a SQL SELECT statement, assign the same calculations to variable and use the variables within $-sign expansions.
cheers,

Hi John,
Try this :
LET vStartDate = MonthStart(AddMonths(Today(),-23)) (makes 01/06/2014 the start date)
LET vEndDate = MonthEnd(AddMonths(Today(),+13)) (makes 30/06/2017 the end date)
