I have a table with start and end dates in. My goal is to have a table that has grouped these dates into how many days the period spans. I thought I had the solution with a simple SQL statement (MS SQL Server 2005) but I want to exclude weekends.
SELECT DATEDIFF(D, StartDate, EndDate)+1 AS Days,
COUNT(ID) as Count
FROM myDateTable
GROUP BY DATEDIFF(D, StartDate, EndDate)
This gives a record set of:
Days Count
1 4
2 2
4 1
7 2
Is this possible to exclude the weekends in the SQL statement and if not can it be done using ASP and a array perhaps?
