The problem with such code is that it uses hardcoded dates that must be updated every year. If you forget, you can really mess up a whole bunch of things. Using a Calendar table would likely be a much better solution.

Whatever solution you use, at least add some error handling for when you run out of dates or have exceeded hardcoded expectations.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
