I am having a little challenge counting the right number of days between two dates.
If I use DateDiff function it disregards the fact that there are weekend days in the calendar.
If I use Datesbetween function to count the rows in the Date table filtering out weekend days, it works fine only if start date is less then the end date.
I have a situation where start date can be later than the supposedly end date (bad data, i guess).
Is there a work around to count the number of days between two dates (positive or negative) AND count only weekdays?

Hi, @Anonymous
You need to created calculated column Is_WorkDay =1 or 0 to indicate if its a workday or not in your calendar table.
Is_workday = IF( NOT WEEKDAY('Calendar'[Date],2) in {6,7},1,0)
To avoid the situation where the start date is greater than the end date,you can create a calculated column as below in you fact table (here we set two variables "max1" and "min1" to get the date in the table)
_Workdays =
VAR max1 =
MAX ( 'Table'[StartDate], 'Table'[EndDate] )
VAR min1 =
MIN ( 'Table'[StartDate], 'Table'[EndDate] )
RETURN
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Calendar'[Is_workday] ),
ALL ( 'Calendar' ),
DATESBETWEEN ( 'Calendar'[Date], min1, max1 )
)
