• I've made assumptions that you may have more than one guest per room. I also assume that if you have one guest checking out today and one checking in that you want a count of 2, that would be the number serviced that day. If not that would be an easy change to the 'between' statement below. It's not as simple as the other code listed before but it doesn't rely on system tables and the dates not hard coded. This assumes you want the data for the prior month, if ran in January 2013 it pulls all data for December 2012.

    CREATE TABLE #Guests (

    checkin datetime,

    checkout datetime,

    FullName varchar(50),

    number_of_guest int

    )

    ;

    INSERT INTO #Guests

    SELECT '10/12/2012', '10/16/2012', 'Corky Doe', 1 UNION ALL

    SELECT '12/12/2012', '12/17/2012', 'Janice Doe', 2 UNION ALL
