tsql - How to get week number of the month from the date in sql server 2008

Question

In SQL Statement in microsoft sql server, there is a built-in function to get week number but it is the week of the year.

Select DatePart(week, '2012/11/30') // **returns 48**

The returned value 48 is the week number of the year.

Instead of 48, I want to get 1, 2, 3 or 4 (week number of the month). I think the week number of the month can be achieved by modules with Month Number of this week. For e.g.

Select DATEPART(week, '2012/11/30')%MONTH('2012/11/30')

But I want to know is there other built-in functions to get WeekNumber of the month in MS SQL SERVER.

Answer 1

Here are 2 different ways, both are assuming the week starts on monday

If you want weeks to be whole, so they belong to the month in which they start: So saturday 2012-09-01 and sunday 2012-09-02 is week 4 and monday 2012-09-03 is week 1 use this:

declare @date datetime = '2012-09-01'
select datepart(day, datediff(day, 0, @date)/7 * 7)/7 + 1

If your weeks cut on monthchange so saturday 2012-09-01 and sunday 2012-09-02 is week 1 and monday 2012-09-03 is week 2 use this:

declare @date datetime = '2012-09-01'
select datediff(week, dateadd(week, 
  datediff(day,0,dateadd(month,
    datediff(month,0,@date),0))/7, 0),@date-1) + 1

I recieved an email from Gerald. He pointed out a flaw in the second method. This should be fixed now
