Trying to count the number of unique days of activity, and display as a column next to persons name in summary. Looking at performance metrics on a daily basis.

Sample Date:
  
Person  Step  Date Completed
Bill     1    10/01/2012
Bill     2    10/02/2012
Bob      1    10/01/2012
Bob      2    10/01/2012
Bob      3    10/01/2012
Bob      4    10/01/2012
Barb     1    10/01/2012
Barb     2    10/02/2012
Barb     3    10/02/2012


Summary View:
 
Person Count Steps Completed   Active Days
Bill             2               2
Bob              4               1
Barb             3               2


So it appears Bob is more active, completeing more steps, in less time. How do I add a count column (active days) so it counts only unique days?

Thanks

This might help:

CNT.DST.
- Counts the number of distinct values within a field.

One way:

TABLE FILE PERSTBL
PRINT PERSON STEP COMPDATE
BY PERSON NOPRINT BY COMPDATE NOPRINT
ON TABLE HOLD AS H1
END
-RUN
DEFINE FILE H1
DTCNT/I2 = IF PERSON   NE LAST PERSON   THEN 1
      ELSE IF COMPDATE EQ LAST COMPDATE THEN 0 ELSE 1;
END
TABLE FILE H1
SUM CNT.DST.STEP DTCNT
BY PERSON
END
-RUN
