Hi,

I need to count the number of days of a date range that fits within another date range. For example:

range1 = 2/10 - 2/15
range2 = 2/12 - 2/25
Range1 fits in 4 days on range 2.

range1 = 2/20 - 2/29
range2 = 2/12 - 2/25
Range1 fits in 6 days on range 2.

range1 = 2/13 - 2/15
range2 = 2/12 - 2/25
Range1 fits in 3 days on range 2.

Furthermore range1 could have an empty end date which means there's no limit to the end date, example:
range1 = 2/15 -
range2 = 2/12 - 2/25
Range1 fits in 11 days on range 2

I'm doing this with IIFs in my query, but I'm thinking maybe someone can think of a more simple way to calculate this.

Thanks!
