141738 2003-05-06 04:25:00 I need to determine the number of weeks between two dates. The end date is fixed and the number of days in a week is 5. The result I like to see is the number of weeks and days left over if any.
Can someone help please?

5 day blocks "=TRUNC((<end date>-<start date>)/5,0)"
extra days "=(<end date>-<start date>)-(<number of weeks>*5)

5 day blocks "=TRUNC{{<end date>-<start date>}/5,0}"
extra days "={<end date>-<start date>}-{<number of weeks>*5}

replace all the {} with rounded brackets in the formula.
