It allows you to generate data (in this case a list of dates) out of nothing (erm, well, not really nothing but numbers to be precise). In the example that I provided in my post I fulfilled the requirement "generate a list of dates from the start of the year until today", starting from just that list of numbers. Regards, Valentino. Hi Charles,

You use the spt_values instead of the actual date? I assume you mean if you don't have it available already as a column in another table? Forgive my ignorance but I’m not sure what this buys you?
