    OMG,

    I am sorry, Chris. The script is still wrong.

    Just see the screen shot attached in here. The ID 4, having startdate '2016-01-27' should show '2016-01-26'

    instead of '2016-01-27'. because we have '2016-01-26' is the minimum date to '2016-01-27'

    Easy enough - correct your scripts. Also, rather than using GETDATE() and arithmetic, use hardcoded date values.
