Rounding dates

SQL Server does not have an intuitive way to round down to the month, hour, or minute. You can, however, combine the DATEADD() and DATEDIFF() functions to perform this rounding.

To round the date 1914-08-16 down to the year, we would call DATEADD(YEAR, DATEDIFF(YEAR, 0, '1914-08-16'), 0).

To round the date down to the month, we would call DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, '1914-08-16'), 0).

This works for several other date parts as well.
