equal distribution of start and finish dates

Hi all
I have got 3 columns in my table- start date,finish date and cost..in the
following format...
start_date finish_date cost
12/12/2000 20/12/2000 $2000
01/09/2000 12/10/2000 $400
Now if the month and year of the start and finish date is same, the cost
remains same...
but if the month of the two dates are different, i have to distribute the
cost between the two months by calculating the cost for the number of days
for both of the months..
but i am not able to figure out how?
i am using sql 2005 ..
my table has got about 1 million rows...
pls helpQuestion. What exactly is your expected result? It's not entirely clear
from your description. I think you're saying that for December 2000 the
cost should be $2,000. For the other, it soundes like you are looking to
pro-rate the $400? If so, across what time period do you want it pro-rated
exactly?

This will handle a two-month period, anything more than that is going to
be more complicated:
USE tempdb

CREATE TABLE dbo.Test (
start_date DATETIME NOT NULL,
finish_date DATETIME NOT NULL,
cost DECIMAL(18,3)

INSERT INTO dbo.Test VALUES ('20000901','20001012',400)
INSERT INTO dbo.Test VALUES ('20000901','20001212',300)
GO

END
GO
SELECT

CASE WHEN DATEPART(month, start_date) = DATEPART(month, finish_date)
THEN 0 ELSE cost - (cost * (dbo.DaysInMonth(start_date) - DATEPART(day,
start_date)) / CONVERT(NUMERIC, DATEDIFF(day, start_date, finish_date),
4)) END AS portion2

Hi mita,
First, you need to create a table that holds all months in your
reporting period (or more). Something like this:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Months
(MonthStart datetime NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
MonthEnd datetime NOT NULL);
go
DECLARE @.TheMonth datetime;
SET @.TheMonth = '200000101'; -- Start at january 2000
WHILE @.TheMonth <= '20191231' -- End at december 2019
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO dbo.Months (MonthStart, MonthEnd)
VALUES (@.TheMonth, DATEADD(day, -1, DATEADD(month, 1, @.TheMonth)));
SET @.TheMonth = DATEADD(month, 1, @.TheMonth);
END;
The above is a one time operation, provided you never drop the table.
Don't forget to add some extra months to the table in a year or ten!
With this table in place, your query becomes something like this:
SELECT PeriodStart, PeriodEnd,
TotalCost * DATEDIFF (day, PeriodStart, PeriodEnd)
/ DATEDIFF (day, start_date, finish_date) AS cost
FROM (SELECT CASE WHEN a.start_date > b.MonthStart
THEN a.start_date
ELSE b.MonthStart
END AS PeriodStart,
CASE WHEN a.finish_date < b.MonthEnd
THEN a.finish_date
ELSE b.MonthEnd
END AS PeriodEnd,
a.start_date, a.finish_date,
a.cost AS TotalCost
FROM dbo.MyTable AS a
INNER JOIN dbo.Months AS b
ON b.MonthStart <= a.finish_date
AND b.MonthStart >= a.start_date) AS d
(Untested - see www.aspfaq.com/5006 if you prefer a tested reply)

Hi Mita,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
The error is caused by a stupid typo in my code (quoted above) - I have
one zero to many in the date constant for Jan 1st, 2000. If you change
'200000101' to '20000101', the error should go away.
