Hey there group,
I need to build a function that takes in a date and then returns the corresponding Sunday to that date.
Any ideas?
Marty

You can do something like this.
Declare @Date datetime
Set @Date = getdate()
Select @Date -
CASE datename(weekday,@Date)
WHEN 'Monday' THEN 1
WHEN 'Tuesday' THEN 2
WHEN 'Wednesday' THEN 3
WHEN 'Thursday' THEN 4
WHEN 'Friday' THEN 5
WHEN 'Saturday' THEN 6
WHEN 'Sunday' THEN 0
END

Could you please provide some examples of what your are looking for? I wouldn't know which Sunday date you'd want for a given date just based on your question.

Given 2008-11-19 which Sunday do you want, 2008-11-16 or 2008-11-23?

Also, on my server here at work, the above returns tomorrow (Saturday), not a Sunday.

Lynn, I hope this is not a question addressed to me? I am not providing interpreter's services
I just provided a one line solution which requestor can modify accordingly to the missed part of his/her question.
Use it as an example if it is helpful...

Directed more to the OP, but based on your suggestion, which didn't work on my servers here at work. It returns the Saturday following the given date, not Sunday. But then again, which Sunday does the OP want?

You have to check what are the settings on your server?
select @@datefirst
I believe default is 7 i.e. default first day of the week is Sunday. On mine default is set to 1.
