ThAnKs..

Sounds homework, ask your classmate for help.

Come on Bro..
Its not a Homework..! This is an assigned task to me..I need to do it...Can Any one please Help me out

1. USe the CHARindex function first for finding the start month from begdt column by searching with '/'
for the above example, seems 1.

2. read all the columns start from J to D in a single column using concatenation by matching with ACC column. here dont need to check the start date.

3. store the value in one variable for the expression as arrived in step 2.

4. in the CHARINDEX function itself option of searching from which character is avaiable. the start character must be the start month. Find for Zero.

5. Whaterver the value is arrived in step 4 that would be the solution.
