That process would be possible, but because of various computational complexity issues it would only be 1 or 2 percent faster than simply running Analog with a date range of one day for each one day period you want numbers for. Since there is so little to be gained, it is simpler to just run Analog many times.

For example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system. -- Peter van der Linden, Expert C Programming, Deep C Secrets
