Hi
I am hoping someone can help me with a calculation I am finding incredibly tricky.
I am looking at peoples memberships, so have data structured like this:
Person ID Membership ID Membership Start Date Membership End Date
112233 98765 01/01/11 31/01/11
112233 12345 01/03/11 31/05/11
112233 67890 01/05/11 31/05/11
So, people can have had more than one membership.
What I am trying to find is the difference between the start date and end date of the memberships, and see if any were overlapping. So in the example above I would like to start at the first membership and compare this to the second, so the answer is 1 month difference between end date and next start date, then compare the second to the third, so the answer is -1 month between end date and start date.
I am completely stuck as to how I can do this.
Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jobie
