This article shows how to create and populate date dimension for data warehouse.

Download script 5.3 KB

Introduction
This article will especially help those people who work in Data warehouse and Business Intelligence. Whenever as a starting
point, they need to set New Data warehouse, during this time they need to create and fill their Date Dimension with various
values of Date, Date Keys, Day Type, Day Name Of Week, Month, Month Name, Quarter, etc.
Date dimension plays an important role in your data warehouse designing, it provides the ability to study behavior and
trend of your data over a period of time.
You can study your data by grouping them using various fields of date dimension.
For example:
If I want to analyze my data of total sales by each month of the year, or show total sales by each quarter of the year, or show
me on which days total sales takes place more in the entire year or month.
After implementing the complete solution in data warehouse, the relationship of date dimension gives you all this facility to
do slice and dice of your data.
So as an initial step, you need to design your date dimension, time dimension and populate them with range of values.
For designing of time dimension, you can refer to my other tip posted on CodeProject, Design and Populate Time
Dimension with 24 Hour plus Values.
This date dimension will have values of date stored as per various date formats used across the world, like ddMMyyyy is
used in Europe, UK, India, etc. while MMddyyyy format is used in US.
Even some countries refer to Monday as 1st day of the week like UK, and some of them refer to Sunday as the 1st day of the
week like US, so I have placed both types of values in this date dimension so that it can be utilized as per the need.
National holiday list is also different in both the countries US and UK, script is there to update date dimension with these
values, it will help to study data on a particular national holiday.
I expect some intermediate knowledge of TSQL from the reader to understand and to use the script given below, even I
have placed steps to follow to achieve a particular task , TSQL script also contains in line comments to explain the purpose
of various steps.

This article contains two scripts:

Script 1
This script will create date dimension table for you and populate it with all standard values. Please refer to figure 1. You
need to follow 4 easy steps given under section of the Script 1.

Figure 1

Script 2
This script can be used to extend your date dimension with Fiscal Calendar fields like Fiscal Year, Fiscal month, fiscal Quarter,
etc and populate these fields with appropriate values, Fiscal Calendar fields can be used to study data as per Financial Year
Defined. Please refer to figure 2 for further details. Follow the steps given under section of Script 2 to accomplish this task.

Figure 2

SCRIPT 1
Follow the 4 easy steps in sequence to create and populate date dimension with values.

Using the Code

Follow the given steps to create date dimension:
1. Open SQL Server Management Studio
2. Connect Database Engine
3. Open New query editor
4. Copy paste scripts given below in various steps in new query editor window one by one
5. To run the given SQL script, press F5

Step 1
Please refer to the inline comments given with TSQL Script for further explanation of each field in table and which type of
values it will hold.

Brief introduction to functions used in script to populate Date Dimension

Function

Detail e.g. for 16Aug2013

SelectDATEPART(MM,Getdate())as
MonthNumber

Return Integer Number=8 of Month from Current Date

SelectDATEPART(YY,Getdate())as
YearValue

Return Value of the Year=2013 from Current Date

SelectDATEPART(QQ,Getdate())as
QuarterValue

Return Value of the Quarter=3 for Current Date

SelectDATEPART(DW,Getdate())as
DayOfWeekValue

Return integer Value of day=6 Friday in Week for Current

Date as per US standard

SelectCONVERT

(char(8),Getdate(),112)

Return Key=20130816 Value for current Date

SelectCONVERT
(char(10),Getdate(),103)

Return date =16/08/2013 in ddMMyyyy format, UK,

Europe

SelectCONVERT
(char(10),Getdate(),101)

Return date=08/16/2013 in MMddyyyy format, US

SelectDATEPART(DD,Getdate())as
DayOfMonthValue

Return integer Day=16 Value for Current Date

selectDATENAME(DW,Getdate())AS
DayName

Return Name=Friday of the Day for Current Date.

10

selectDATEPART(WW,Getdate())AS
WeekOfYear

Returns Value of Week in Year=33

Step 2
Populate Date dimension with values
You can specify start date and end date value of date range which you want to populate in your date dimension.
Please refer to the inline comments given with TSQL script for further explanation of steps.
