Hello,

I need to get the difference in days between two dates without counting Sundays. Can this be done with DATEDIFF or is there another way to do it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You can do this:
DATEDIFF(dd,startDate,EndDate) - DATEDIFF(wk,startDate,endDate);
It should work correctly regardless of your datefirst setting, but check the boundary conditions (when start date or enddate is on a weekend) to see if it is off by 1 and make adjustments as necessary.
