Dynamic Days calculation from 2 dates

Anonymous — Sun, 25 Sep 2022 07:05:14 GMT

Hi Guys, i have a complex scenario as explained below.

i want to pull a weekly report for employees who applied for no of days of WFH in a week.

i want to find this based on WFH applied dates.

can you please tell me what is the best approach to capture the no of days for the selected week?

from the below example is Out put1 or Out put2 is possibile? how to achieve both the outputs?

But we need to calculate the no of days only for the given week, an employee can apply wfh for multiple days but we need to count the days only for the given week based on the from and to date.

Anonymous going to need to create a CALENDAR table in a VAR between the 2 dates. Use ADDCOLUMNS to add a WEEKNUM. Strikes me as similar to these:
Take a look at these two Quick Measures as I think you want something like them.

Greg_Deckler i am trying to get the count of days for the selected week only how can a measure do that? a measure will give total no of days between 2 dates. but how do we compare with a week and get the no of days?

Hi Anonymous ,

According to your description, I created a sample, and here is my solution.

To get the expected output 1, DATEDIFF function does help.

Create a column:

No of days of WFH applied for the week = IF ( COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( 'Table 1', 'Table 1'[Employee Number] = EARLIER ( 'Table 1'[Employee Number] ) && 'Table 1'[To Date] <= DATE ( 2022, 8, 26 ) && 'Table 1'[From date ] >= DATE ( 2022, 8, 22 ) ) ) > 0, DATEDIFF ( 'Table 1'[From date ], 'Table 1'[To Date], DAY ) + 1, IF ( COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( 'Table 1', 'Table 1'[Employee Number] = EARLIER ( 'Table 1'[Employee Number] ) && 'Table 1'[To Date] > DATE ( 2022, 8, 26 ) && 'Table 1'[From date ] >= DATE ( 2022, 8, 22 ) ) ) > 0, DATEDIFF ( 'Table 1'[From date ], DATE ( 2022, 8, 26 ), DAY ) + 1 ) )

Final Output:

To get the expected output 2, please use Power Query to create a custom column. And then expand to new rows, you will get the expected result.

Final output:

I attach my sample below for your reference.
