Data Analysis Options DCount - Crosstab Query

I have a table [Control Table] with the fields [Date signed] and [outcome] date signed is formatted as dd/mm/yyyy and the outcome field is a drop down with the options granted, not granted ect

I am looking for a way to present the data using specific date ranges.

I have found 2 possible avenues;

Dcount in a select query:

w/c 01/04/2014 GRANTED: DCount("[Date signed]","[control table]","[Date signed]>=#04/01/2014# And [Date signed] <=#04/06/2014# And [Outcome]='Granted'")

w/c 01/04/2014 Not GRANTED: DCount("[Date signed]","[control table]","[Date signed]>=#04/01/2014# And [Date signed] <=#04/06/2014# And [Outcome]='Not Granted' And [Reason not granted]='Assessed'")

w/c 01/04/2014 Discharged: DCount("[Date signed]","[control table]","[Date signed]>=#04/01/2014# And [Date signed] <=#04/06/2014# And [Reason not granted]='Discharged'")
etc...

But I would need to create the multiple queries 52 times each for the different count value per week

My 2nd option

I have looked at crosstab query, but I cant find a way for it to list the specific dates I need it to query e.g from

01/04/2014 - 06/04/2014
07/04/2014 - 13/04/2014
14/04/2014 - 20/04/2014
etc...

Any tips on Data analysis? I have been able to perform the task previously in excel using If statements but we are now moving to access.
