[kashif.special2005]

Hi

I want to count how may Sunday and Saturday between Date1 and Date2.

1/25/2012​

​

I am not able to do this.

Please help it is very important.

Thanks & Regards,
Kashif.

The only way that I can think of to do what you want is with a custom function. In the attached database, I have created that function: SatSunCount(). I have also included a query (Query1) that shows how to use it.

As a note, it looks like you want to store the count in the field in your table. As a general rule, calculated values are not stored in tables, but rather calculated on the fly when you need them in queries, forms or reports.

* You can use the WeekDay function on Start_Date and End_Date, e.g.

Weekday([Start_Date]) IN (1, 7)

* Sum() on this field
* Use the Abs() function to get rid of the minus.

NB: I don't see why you have Count_Sunday_Saturday as a field in your table.
