There's a file I have that shows the full season schedule with score results from a pro sports league last year. I have five columns in the file:

Column A: contains list of dates (868 dates to be exact, this is all the games that were played that season)
Column B: the name of the team
Column C: the name of the opponent that the team from Column B played on that night.
Column D: the number of goals that the team from Column B scored
Column E: the number of goals that the team from Column C scored

In sports, there are obviously days off in between games. Sometimes it's one day off, two days, three, four, and sometimes there aren't any. What I'm wanting to do is run a query that identifies how many times the team from Column B had:

1.) Games played with no days of rest in between games
2.) Games played with one day of rest in between games
3.) Games played with two days of rest in between games
4.) Games played with three days of rest in between games
5.) Games played with four or more days of rest in between games

Ideally it would be great if it identified how many times instances 1-5 appeared without considering who the team is, but I get that might be difficult if you don't actually put the team name from Column B in the query.

So essentially in a way it does what I want but at the same time it's not. For example, in the Xl2bb image above you can see dates ranging from 1/13 - 1/16 with the teams. I'll use the St. Louis Blues for example:

I'd like for it to go through and identify how many days there were between their last game. So using the 1/13-1/16 date range, it appears that the St. Louis Blues played two games, and those games were two days apart.

How does that sound?

Not 100% sure what you want. Can you post an example with what your expected results are. Your quote below from your Post #1 is confusing me.

Ideally it would be great if it identified how many times instances 1-5 appeared without considering who the team is
