True, but I try to focus on the core of the problem and not the extra stuff.


>It sounds like you should determine min and max dates, then round to whatever period you use (week, months). Determine the number of days and start with REPLICATE(".",nDays). Then use STUFF() at position dDate-DMin+1 to replace the dot with character code. This would need to happen in a loop.

Wow, that's a completely different look at it that I never considered. VERY interesting.
