Getting Today's , MTD, YTD Sale and profit I have a database which give me sale and profit for each date. Schema looks like following :

Date         Sales      Profit

2015-03-07   133333     12348
2015-03-08   214563     34545
2015-03-09   299593     59940


Now I want to get results like following:

      Today    MTD     YTD


Sales

Profit

The brute-force approach I am using have 6 sub-queries with union.

It looks like following:

  SELECT 'Sales', TotalSales, 0, 0 
  FROM SalesTable
  where Date = GETDATE()
  UNION
  SELECT 'Sales',0, SUM(TotalSales), 0 
  FROM SalesTable
  where MONTH(Date) = MONTH(GETDATE())
  UNION
  SELECT 'Sales',0,0, SUM(TotalSales) 
  FROM SalesTable
  where YEAR(Date) = YEAR(GETDATE())


and the similar for profit. 

How can this be done in a more efficient/structural way?
Mocked up some data and used a couple of CTEs to generate the aggregates.  Similar to creating a bunch of separate queries joined or unioned however you wanted.  This provides a little more readability and flexibility.  I also added a variable to simulate running this for different dates.

    /*  Data mockup

    IF OBJECT_ID('SalesTable') IS NOT NULL 
        DROP TABLE SalesTable;

    CREATE TABLE SalesTable
    (
          [Date] DATE
        , Sales  NUMERIC(19,4)
        , PROFIT NUMERIC(19,4)
    );

    INSERT SalesTable
    VALUES  
           ('2014-12-07', 133333, 12348)
         , ('2015-03-07', 133333, 12348)
         , ('2015-03-08', 214563, 34545)
         , ('2015-03-09', 299593, 59940)
         , ('2015-05-07', 233333, 12348)
