Hi @MSBI_Developer_1990

i want to display last three quarters dynamically.

Not sure what you actually want.

If you just want to display the three previous quarters, then experts had provided solutions above.

If you need to display column headings dynamically, for example, always display last 3 quarters data according to query date. Then you'd better share us your table structure (CREATE TABLE …) and some sample data (INSERT INTO …) along with your expected result.

Please try the following:

DECLARE @dt datetime = getdate()

 select  Concat(DATEPART(year, DATEADD(QUARTER,-n,@dt)),'Q',DATEPART(QUARTER, DATEADD(QUARTER,-n,@dt)) )
 from (values(0),(1),(2)) d(n)  
  
  select string_agg( Concat(DATEPART(year, DATEADD(QUARTER,-n,@dt)),'Q',DATEPART(QUARTER, DATEADD(QUARTER,-n,@dt)) ) ,',')
 from (values(0),(1),(2)) d(n)    

Answer 4

Try:

DECLARE @d1 date = DATEADD(QUARTER,-1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
DECLARE @d2 date = DATEADD(QUARTER,-2, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
SELECT FORMAT(@d1, 'yyyy') + CONCAT('Q', DATEPART(QUARTER,@d1)) AS Previous ,
FORMAT(@d2, 'yyyy') + CONCAT('Q', DATEPART(QUARTER,@d2)) AS [2 Quarters Back]
