I have a dataset containing two variables "Start_Date and End_Date" and her=
e I need to create a variable called "period"=2E=0D=0A=0D=0AHere the start =
and end dates were in Datetime format and I took only datepart by "datepart=
" function and formated it as date9=2E And created "Period" variable by giv=
ing some logic as=0D=0A=0D=0A" MDY(month(today()),1,year(today()))-1 "=0D=
=0A=0D=0Awhich will give value as "FEB2010" (which is Monyy7=2E format)=2E =
So now based on this period variable I need to pull only the FEB month data=
from years of data=2E=0D=0A=0D=0AActually the data contains two years (his=
torical) data till last month=2E=0D=0A=0D=0Aexample:=0D=0A=0D=0ASTART_DATE =

31DEC2009 JAN2010=0D=0A=0D=0Athe above is the sample data=2E=
=2E=2E now what I need is based on this period I need to pull only Feb date=
s starting from 01FEB2010 and ending of 31FEB2010=2E So in simple I want FE=
B data only=2E=0D=0A=0D=0ASTART_DATE is in date9=2E format=0D=0AEND_DATE is=
in date9=2E format=0D=0APeriod is in Monyy7=2E format=0D=0A=0D=0AI tried w=
