From when on7as of when

Are these sentences correct ( or do they even make sense)?


a) “Can I count on you, and if so, from when on?“


b) “Can I count on you, and if so, as of when? “



Note: By this, I mean when will one's availability start.

For instance, if 'from Wednesday on', the underlying idea is that the person will be available on Wednesday, on Tuesday, on Thursday, and so on...
