Get the most recent Friday's date SQL

Question

I\'m trying to get the most recent Friday in SQL Server 2008.

I have this. It gets the beginning of the week (monday) then subtracts 3 days to get Friday.

Answer 1

you can check if the current day of week is friday or greater DATEPART(dw,GETDATE()) and then call (SELECT DATEADD(wk, DATEDIFF(wk,0,GETDATE()), 0)+4) or (SELECT DATEADD(wk, DATEDIFF(wk,0,GETDATE()), 0)-3)

SELECT 
CASE WHEN DATEPART(dw,GETDATE()) >= 5 THEN 
(SELECT DATEADD(wk, DATEDIFF(wk,0,GETDATE()), 0)+4) 
ELSE 
(SELECT DATEADD(wk, DATEDIFF(wk,0,GETDATE()), 0)-3) 
END
