I have some data like this, now I need to report the total debit balance based on account_type But each account type has a different business month cycle to consider.

For example:

For Normal account type I need to consider date from every month 2nd to next month 2nd as business month first business month: for example 2nd January to 2nd Feb is my January business month.

Similarly for Premimum 5 to 5th and Super_premimum 10th to 10th.

I need to report business month wise for last 6 months total debit balance for all these 3 account type.

I was trying to usse DATEADD for each month and account_type and aggregate the debit balance separately and join them later

select convert(date, dateadd(day, 2 - day(getdate()), getdate())) as month_first,
       dateadd(day, 2, eomonth(getdate(), -1)) as alternative_month_first,
       eomonth(getdate())+2 as month_last

and query for each month in the above for each account type separately but I feel this gets complex and not optimal, is there a better way to do it ?

Have you considered a calendar table keyed by `account_type` and `date` to materialize the values? — Dan Guzman, Aug 28 '23 at 08:50
Yes, that can give first level of summarization but still need to get as month wise — scoder, Aug 28 '23 at 08:52
According to the docs, sap-iq is a totally different database engine to SQL server? — Dale K, Aug 28 '23 at 09:51
_first level of summarization but still need to get as month wise_ Yes that is what a calendar table does, it allow you to summarise up to weeks months etc. You just tag each row with the correct month — Nick.Mc, Aug 28 '23 at 11:04
This is seems like interesting for my problem, I understand the piece that need to create calender table for each of my account_type but still did not get how to join with actual measure tables, can you provide me some reference link to follow ? — scoder, Aug 30 '23 at 06:26

You could try to achieve this using the WITH clause to get the business start and end dates for each account type. Then use those to apply the transformation on the table to fetch the data.

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tableName;

CREATE TABLE tableName 
(
    account INT,
    createddate DATE,
    closed_date DATE,
    account_type    VARCHAR(512),
    Debit_Amount    INT,
    txn_date    DATE

INSERT INTO tableName (account, createddate, closed_date, account_type, Debit_Amount, txn_date) VALUES ('1234', '01/02/2023', '01/01/2099', 'Normal', '100', '01/13/2023');
INSERT INTO tableName (account, createddate, closed_date, account_type, Debit_Amount, txn_date) VALUES ('7892', '02/02/2023', '01/01/2099', 'Premimum', '200', '01/02/2023');
