    I wondered about that too, but I noticed there's an odd character before "wrap" that looks like a blank, but really isn't. When you copy it in the SSMS...

  • RE: Create Weeks Calendar from Date in SQL 2012

    The WeekName logic contradicts itself. If:

    8/30/2015 9/5/2015 = Sep_Week1

    then shouldn't:

    9/27/2015 10/3/2015 = Oct_Week1 rather than "Sep_Week5"

    It's impossible for that week to be both Sep_Week5 and Oct_Week1 ... or...

    You need to CAST another column to varchar, since it's an int, as was done with billpay:

    You're right. I hadn't search thru the Profile settings before, but time zone was in there, and was somehow wrong for my location.
