If you also want to exclude non-working hours, you can take a look at this thread, and transfer the hours to days.

Hi Chethan,

 

You should import the Dates Table in your data model for the implementation of my solution.

 

Step 1: As Part of the calculation, Create IsWorkDay Calculated Column in Your Dates Table

 

IsWorkDay=SWITCH(WEEKDAY([Date]),1,0,7,0,1)

 

Step 2: Create Days Duration excluding Weekends by creating another calculated column in your orders table

 

Days Duration excluding Weekends=CALCULATE(SUM(Dates[IsWorkDAY]),
                                                                                       DATESBETWEEN(Dates[Date],
                                                                                          OrdersTable[Opened Date/Time ],
                                                                                              OrdersTable[Closed Date /Time ] )
                                                                                      )

Thanks & Regards,
Bhavesh

is there a way i can do a reversal on the same thing that you explained above - I have a date table and i am able to calculate working days.(0s for weekends and 1's for Weekdays). I need to add 5 days to my start date and and pick the appropriate working date from the date table so that it gives me an "Expected Completion Date" that takes account of weekends.  

Hi @BhaveshPatel

Thanks for replay.

Instead of summing the [Date] column in your table you should sum your newly created column [IsWorkDay]

 

*Edit* - It also looks as you have created the [IsWorkDay] in your fact table instead of in the date calendar table. Take a closer look to the proposed solution in the first reply.

Here is a very simple model that shows same scenario as you have and you can see all calculations I have made to make it work. Please note that the function DatesBetween will return a table that includes both the starting date and the ending date! Thus you need to consider how you define the duration (with starting/ending date included or vice versa)

Create a column with 1 for weekdays and 0 for weekendsCreate a column with 1 for weekdays and 0 for weekendscalculate number of days from starting date until ending date without weekendscalculate number of days from starting date until ending date without weekends 

Hi,

Thanks so much for all this valuable inputs, I'm trying to use it, however it is not working for all the cases, let me show... 

Highly appreaciate any help!

 

I'm using:

IsWorkDay = SWITCH(WEEKDAY([Date]);1;0;7;0;1)

 

Days Duration excluding Weekends = CALCULATE(SUM(calendario[IsWorkDAY]);DATESBETWEEN(calendario[Date];'Raw Data'[INCIDENT Submit Date];'Raw Data'[INCIDENT Closed Date]))

 

Below some examples of wrongly 'Days Duration Excluding Weekends' calculation:

Thanks

Hi @magsod

 

I just followed your steps and i created the Dates (Calender function) & Is work day (your screenshot function)

i created a column with number of weekday function

 

Out is wrong ??

 

i enclosed the screen shot for your referenceDDiff2.JPGDDiff2a.JPGDDiff2b.JPG

 

Please help me out this

 

Urgent requirement

Hi @magsod ,

 

For which field (OpenDate or ClosedDate)  i have to create a column with IsWeekday function

 

Here we have only two date fields OpenDate  &  CloseDate

@ssvr This proposed solution is based on the assumption that you have a separate date table. And it's for that date table you create the IsWeekday column, not for the OpenDate or the CloseDate in your fact table.
