Adding only workdays to a specific date

Hello

 

I have a data column

i have a number of days column

these days can wary from 1-50 days

 

What i need help figuring out, is how do i subract those days in "workdays" from that date and then land on a non workday.

 

The date is delivery date + how many transport days.

So what i need is the delivery date without the transport days so i can match it with another date

 

So example

i whanto subtract lets say 50 work days from the date 01.11.2017

it will work to just write it like so column = [date] - [days]

but i need it to only subtract workdays, and the date haseto land on a workday aswell

 

Any help would be welcomed

Hi,

 

I created the calculations.

 

Try having a look at this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5fareeag77bfc6x/power%20bi%20example.pbix?dl=0&m=

 

Result:

Okay - to assist others with similar challenges I will just make a short description of the solution I created.

 

First make sure that there is a relationship between the table and the calendar table.

 

Then in the calendar table create a few columns to create an index for workingdays

IsWorkday = SWITCH( WEEKDAY('Calendar'[Date]); 1; 0; 7; 0;1 )

WorkingDayIndex = 
RANKX(
    FILTER(
        'Calendar';
        'Calendar'[IsWorkDay] = 1
    );
    'Calendar'[Date];
    ;ASC
) 

 

Then in the table that should hold the result I created this calculation that make a simple lookup in the calendar table using the index column created above.

NewDate = 
VAR DateIdx = CALCULATE( MAX( 'Calendar'[WorkingDayIndex] ); 'Table1'[Date] = RELATED('Calendar'[Date] ) )
VAR NewDateIdx = DateIdx + Table1[Transport days]

RETURN
CALCULATE(
    MAX('Calendar'[Date]);
    FILTER(
        ALL('Calendar');
        'Calendar'[WorkingDayIndex] = NewDateIdx 
            && 'Calendar'[IsWorkday] = 1
    )
)
