Thanks for the reply, I think SUM(DAYOFYEAR) has solved it. However is there a way of subtracting weekends and showing departments even if they have no entries( ie to show the dept and 0 as it's result)?

This to be done on a range of a year, and then when the next month comes round for the calculation to take that month into account, so, shifting the range to calculate by a month forward.
