And now it works! Thank you!
I had report with about 15 columns from 4 tables - and needed extra column counting
those working days and report condition that there are more than 6 working days between
two operation dates.
I checked it out and found that sum(decode(c.working_day,'Y',1,0)) returns one more day than expected so I had to minus one.
