Taking more than 2 min T-SQL

Question

Hi Friends,
SELECT
DATEPART(YEAR, SaleDate) AS [PrevYear],
DATENAME(MONTH, SaleDate) AS [PrevMonth],
SaleDate as SaleDate,
Sum(Amount) as PrevAmount
FROM TableA A
WHERE SaleDate >= DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy, 0, GETDATE()) - 1, 0)
AND SaleDate <= DATEADD(dd, -1, DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy, 0, GETDATE()), 0))
-----'2013-12-31 00:00:00.000'
GROUP BY
SaleDate
This Query taking more than 2 min to pull the results .... basically I was passing last year first date and last date (should derive based on getdate())
if I pass static values  like this  WHERE SaleDate >= ''2013-01-01 00:00:00.000''
      AND SaleDate <= '2013-12-31 00:00:00.000'
then it is pulling results in fraction of seconds.....
Note: I was keeping this code in View I have to use only View ( I know we can write store procedure for this but I dont want sp I need only View)
any idea please how to improve my view performance?
Thanks,
RK

Answer 1

Do you have an index on SaleDate column ? If so , is this NCI or CI? How much data does it return? Can you show an execution plan of the query?
