Show counts for all months up to current month including zero counts

My current query which is based on retrieving data for the year 2018:



SELECT DATENAME(MONTH, STARTDATE) AS MonthName, COUNT (*) AS TOTAL
FROM TABLEUSERS
WHERE YEAR(STARTDATE) = '2018'
GROUP BY MONTH(STARTDATE), DATENAME(MONTH,STARTDATE)


The result:



MonthName | TOTAL
January | 25
February | 20
March | 40
April | 11
May | 30
June | 0
July | 0
August | 0
September | 7
October | 55
November | 13
December | 0


As you can see it's retrieving December for the year 2018 on the list and I don't want December to be shown, I am only interested to view data for all the months we've been through (November as of now).



The result must also contain months where the count is zero.

    Then add a condition AND MONTH(STARTDATE) <= MONTH(GETDATE())

  • That query does not produce that result. So I'm not sure what you're asking for here.

  • @Squirrel This works fine, but it actually removes the months in between with zero counts too, how can I only do it with the upcoming month

In SQL Server 2008 (I think) you can use the following:



SELECT DATENAME(MONTH, d) AS MonthName, COUNT(STARTDATE) AS Total
FROM (VALUES (0), (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11)) AS numbers(n)
CROSS APPLY (SELECT DATEADD(MONTH, n, '2018-01-01')) AS dates(d)
LEFT JOIN TABLEUSERS ON YEAR(STARTDATE) = YEAR(d) AND MONTH(STARTDATE) = MONTH(d)
WHERE n < MONTH(GETDATE())
GROUP BY d


There is a (hard-coded) list of numbers between 0 and 11 that will allow you to generate 12 dates. Rest is straight forward.
