Measure to calculate workdays between id_requesteddeliverydate and id_goodsarrivaldate

Hi Community,

 

i've stumbled across something that i cannot seem to comprehend. 

So we have a facttable which includes these columns (purchaseordernumber, purhcaseorderrownumber, id_requesteddeliverydate,id_goodsarrivaldate):

And to this we would like to get a measure that shows the number of working days between id_requesteddeliverydate and id_goodsarrivaldate.

They are each in their own "Dim - Requesteddeliverydate" and "Dim - GoodsArrivalDate" dimensions. Which both includes these columns (with either requested or goodsarrival date in them obviously):

There is also a "normal" calendar "dim - date" table which is just neutral but includes the same columns as requesteddelivery and goodsarrivaldate. 

Now over to the problem itself, i've been searching here on the forum and online and i just cant get a solution that is working in our case. Is it possible to achieve a measure which calculates the number of working days from the information we have given in these tables or do we need to create a calculated column for this? (pbix file is already massive and we would prefer it to be a measure). Basically i just need to sum the isweekday between these two dates. Or perhaps sum all the isweekday from table goods arrival date up until the id_goodsarrivaldate and then subtract sum of isweekday from table requesteddeliverydate up until the id_requesteddeliverydate and we should get the correct value.


Edit: The Goodsarrivaldate can be before the requesteddate and should then return negative number or 0.
