| I have been asked to come up with a report on how many days a client has received service in a given time frame. It is possible to have serviced a client more than once per day, but they only want to count it once. For example, a client was serviced 4 times on Monday, that would only count as one day.I have used the following syntax:COUNT(DISTINCT DAY(contact.contact_date))What I have run into, is that if my count spans over a couple of months, the same day(January 15 & Febuary 15 for example) will only be counted as one day, when I want it to count as two days.Any suggestions on how I can pull this off?Thanks,Lemmy |

| COUNT(DISTINCT convert(varchar(8),contact.contact_date,112))==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
