Here is another query which i have modified from my previous post.

This query will list out list of months

SELECT Month(GETDATE()) as MonthNum
UNION
SELECT Month(GETDATE()) - 1 as MonthNum
UNION
SELECT Month(GETDATE()) - 2 as MonthNum
UNION
SELECT Month(GETDATE()) - 3 as MonthNum
UNION
SELECT Month(GETDATE()) - 4 as MonthNum
UNION
SELECT Month(GETDATE()) - 5 as MonthNum
UNION
SELECT Month(GETDATE()) - 6 as MonthNum
UNION
SELECT Month(GETDATE()) - 7 as MonthNum
UNION
SELECT Month(GETDATE()) - 8 as MonthNum
UNION
SELECT Month(GETDATE()) - 9 as MonthNum
UNION
SELECT Month(GETDATE()) - 10 as MonthNum
UNION
