Q: How many employees work here?

A: About half.

Create a fields:

EmpDayKey (calculation, text, stored, indexed, ASCII) = EmployeeID & "-" & Date

RecordID (calculation, number, indexed) = Status(CurrentRecordID)

Create a self-relationship: "Self by EmpDayKey"

Relate YourFile to YourFile with EmpDayKey matching EmpDayKey

Create a field:

AttendanceFlag (calculation, number) =

RecordID = Min(Self by EmpDayKey::RecordID) <-- no "If" is needed, this evaluates as true or false (0 or 1).

Finally, just add up the AttendanceFlag fields for the day(s) you wish to check attendance. This can be done by defining a summary field and or using the Sum() function in a calculation based upon another relationship which provides the date range selection.
