    Right... finally started thinking straight...

    select

    activity_date,

    to_char(activity_date,'IW')-to_char(sysdate,'IW') as Date_diff

    from

    dw.calendar

    and then hey presto! :w00t:

    Outstanding. Thanks for the feedback on this, Jason.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
