I have some orders in a table and the last order date of 2011 is 20th Dec.
I'm using a sql command to calculate the number of orders in a given week:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(3),DATENAME(week,convert(datetime,order_date,103))) AS week,
COUNT(1) as orders
FROM order_table
where DATENAME(YEAR,convert(datetime,order_date,103)) = '2011'
GROUP BY CONVERT(VARCHAR(3),DATENAME(week,convert(datetime,order_date,103)))
order by week asc
It returns me the some of the following results:
Week | Orders
41 | 42
42 | 110
43 | 115
...
...
51 | 155
52 | 15
The trouble with this is is that the last order date of 2011 as mentioned that I have is 20th Dec 2011, which can't be week 52 so must be week 51.
I've got some other stats(off another system, not SQL server) which giving me some other figures and the last week on it is 51 which I have no doubt is correct. So there's going to be a queries if people are looking both!
Anyone have any idea or know how to sort this?
Thanks,
