why are you subtracting dates...i think you want some records between 1 months...
check this..

select DATEADD(month,-1,getdate())

output - 2013-01-21 11:22:43.813

select getdate()

output - 2013-02-21 11:22:43.813

Hi, Go through this...
Previous months last date

SQL

SELECT DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,GETDATE()),0))

Current months last date

SQL

SELECT DATEADD(S,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,GETDATE())+1,0))

Difference for current month and previous month in month

SQL

Select DATEDIFF(M,DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,GETDATE()),0)),DATEADD(S,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,GETDATE())+1,0)))

Or try this

SQL

Select MONTH(DATEADD(S,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,GETDATE())+1,0)))- MONTH(DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,GETDATE()),0)))

Or use

SQL

Select datediff(Month,DATEADD(month,-1,getdate()) ,GETDATE() )
