I have a date query as below:

SET DATEFIRST 1 -- Sets Monday as First Day of Week

;with mycte as
(
	select cast('2011-01-01' as datetime) DateValue
	union all
	select DateValue + 1
	from    mycte   
	where   DateValue + 1 < '2013-07-02'
)

Select 
	DateValue
,	DATENAME(dw,DateValue) As DayOfWeek
,	DATENAME(wk,DateValue) As CalendarWeek
,	Case
		When DATENAME(wk,DateValue) = 27 And Year(DateValue) = 2012 Then 2013
		Else 2012
	End As FinancialYear
,	Case
	When DATENAME(wk,DateValue) = 27 And Year(DateValue) = 2011 Then 1

	When DATENAME(wk,DateValue) = 27 And Year(DateValue) = 2012 Then 1
	End As FiscalWeek -- this is only an example
From mycte
where DateValue between '2011-06-27' and '2012-07-01'
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0)

What is the best way to get the FiscalWeek based on the results from above? I don't want to hard code every single Calendar week to get the corresponding Fiscal Week. Financial Year starts on 01/July

For this type of scenario, I would look at maybe implementing a calendar/tally table that holds all the necessary information against each day.
My own calendar table stores (for each date) day number in year, fiscal month, fiscal year and other information relevant to the business. It's then just a simple case of linking the date in your transaction table to the calendar table to retrieve the columns required.

We've expanded the calendar table recently to include such delights as: is a working day,is a national holiday, time sheet start day etc.

There's lots of scripts around to generate these tables. SQLServerCentral.com and Google is your friend!

Well theres a possible typo in your code for the DATEMNAME(wk,DateValue)=29 which is repeated twice.

I dont know if this is by design or not, but it seems odd that you classify week 29 as Week 3 and week 30 as week 5.

A Simpler solution would be to use this case statement

,CASE WHEN DATENAME(wk,DateValue)>=27 then DATENAME(wk,DateValue)-26
ELSE DATENAME(wk,DateValue)+27
end

It doesnt take into account any special logic like the WK 29 issue, and assumes every year follows the same pattern.

It also makes the script easier to understand and maintain.

As Robin suggested I would materialise this as a Calendar Table.

The you are a lazy bum who is going to have a lot of trouble with databases. Ever hear the word "terabyte" or "petabyte" before? Smile

A 100 year calendar table has only 36,525 days in it. You can generate it on a spreadsheet or word processor with macros.

A useful idiom is a report period calendar. It gives a name to a range of dates.

CREATE TABLE Report_Periods
(report_name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
report_start_date DATE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
report_end_date DATE NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT date_ordering
CHECK (report_start_date <= report_end_date),
etc);

These report periods can overlap; a fiscal quarter will be contained in the range of its fiscal year. There can be gaps between them; we have to wait a year between each “Annual Going out Of Business Sale!” and there might be long stretches of time without any special sales. But we want to know their ranges so that the table is fairly constant once it is created.

I like the MySQL convention of using double zeroes for months and years, That is 'yyyy-mm-00' for a month within a year and 'yyyy-00-00' for the whole year. The advantage is that it will sort with the ISO-8601 data format required by Standard SQL.

Since SQL is a database language, we prefer to do look ups and not calculations. I would build a calendar table with a ISO-8601 week-within-year format column in addition to the usual Common Era date. This format is 'yyyyWww-d' where yyyy is the year, W is as separator token, ww is (01-53) week number and d is (1-7) day of the week.

You input any calendar date, find the week-within-year column and return the dates that match on a LIKE predicate.
WHERE sale_day LIKE '2012W26-[67]'

There are several websites with calendars you can cut & paste, but you can start your search with: http://www.calendar-365.com/week-number.html

You can modify this for your fiscal calendar by replacing the 'W' with an 'F' for "Fiscal" and displacing the dates appropriately.
