Counting days

[FILIPKACZMAR]

Hello everyone!!!

I am new at Power BI community (learning) and I have got a little problem.

At my new work I got the task to repair our PowerBI dashboard.

I have to count days between two dates, and I wrote this code:

Obliczanie bez weekendow =

COUNTROWS (

FILTER (

ADDCOLUMNS (

CALENDAR ( 'SQA list'[End of Inspection].[Date], 'SQA list'[Delivered Report].[Date] ),

"Day of Week", WEEKDAY ( [Date], 2 )

),

[Day of Week] <> 6

&& [Day of Week] <> 7

)

)

And I got error, that start date could not be later than end day. In some rows it is like this, so why error is everywhere?

I am thinking about using IF function, to make program miss these rows. But I dont know how.

Can you help me?

Thank you very much all 🙂

Yes you can wrap CALENDAR with IF like

If ( 'SQA list'[End of Inspection].[Date] < 'SQA list'[Delivered Report].[Date],
CALENDAR ( 'SQA list'[End of Inspection].[Date], 'SQA list'[Delivered Report].[Date] ),
"Day of Week", WEEKDAY ( [Date], 2 )
))

the error will go but not sure about the results

=

COUNTROWS (

If ( 'SQA list'[End of Inspection].[Date] < 'SQA list'[Delivered Report].[Date],

CALENDAR ( 'SQA list'[End of Inspection].[Date], 'SQA list'[Delivered Report].[Date] ),

"Day of Week", WEEKDAY ( [Date], 2 )

))

Hi @FILIPKACZMAR 
Please use the following

=
VAR First = 'SQA list'[End of Inspection].[Date]
VAR Last = 'SQA list'[Delivered Report].[Date]
VAR First1 =
    IF ( First <= Last, First, Last - 1 )
VAR Last1 =
    IF ( First <= Last, Last, First1 )
RETURN
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            ADDCOLUMNS ( CALENDAR ( First1, Last1 ), "Day of Week", WEEKDAY ( [Date], 2 ) ),
            [Day of Week] <> 6
                && [Day of Week] <> 7
        )
    )

Hi:

You can use DATESBETWEEN function:

For example:

DatesBtwn = DATESBETWEEN(Calendar[Date], [End of Inspection], [Delivered Report])

I will attach a report that shows a few examples of using either DATESBETWEEN or DATESINPERIOD. You should create a Date Table (MODELING>NEW TABLE>

and mak as Date Table and connect to Fact Table. This will allow you to do time intel calculations.

Date Table Code:

Dates = ADDCOLUMNS ( CALENDAR (FIRSTDATE(Sheet1[ Date]), TODAY()), "year", YEAR ( [Date] ), "MonthNumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "MM" ), "year-month", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY-MM" ), "month-year", FORMAT ( [Date], "MM-'YY" ) )
