sneuberg got it, its not that hard.
The date diff will say its a 5 day show because that is how many days are between those 2 shows dates. But, I dont want that, what I want, is those 2 days overlap, and I just want the total ones.
If the show dates were 1-1-2015 to 1-31-2015 and the next show was 1-15-2015 to 1-31-2015 it would be a total of 47 days according to the Datediff. But, I dont want that, I want it to tell me its only been a "true" total of 31 days, the month.
Now I think your just screwing with us.
No, im not "screwing" with you. That would be pointless, and get Me no were. I am trying to figure out something, not trying to waste any ones time.
You started the explanation matter of factly stating 2 days, but end the explanation with an even more matter of fact that it is 3. Completely lost.
Your correct. I am correct it what I was trying to say.
(Lets call that Show 1)
How many days are there? 2 days.
(Lets call that Show 2)
How many days are there? 3 days.
A total of......? 5 days.
Now, the dates between Show 1 and Show 2 overlap. I dont care about Show 2s dates. I care that in that weekend, we were at shows for 3 days. I dont want to know that in 3 days, we were at 5 days of shows...wait, what? That is what im trying to NOT do. It should be, in that weekend, we were at a total of 3 days of shows. Even though it was 5 "days" of the show, its was truly only 3 days, as that is how many days from the start, to the end.
I just dont know how to tell it to do what I want.
If you still dont understand, just say so and I will try again.
now you lost me. What is "your data". The DateDif calculation?
Yes.
How's it really 3 days? What's the "really" in that sentence suppose to mean?
That time that passes on a watch, computer, phone, etc, etc.
You started the explanation matter of factly stating 2 days, but end the explanation with an even more matter of fact that it is 3. Completely lost.
Hopefully something I said has cleared it up somewhat, or fully.
