Days Between Dates with Negatives

Have used this one countless times. The problem is that DAYSBETWEEN DAX function does not allow returning negative values, so instead use:

 

DaysBetween = ROUNDUP(1.*[Date]-[OtherDate],0),

Here is an ugly alternative 🙂

 

Column = IFERROR(
DATEDIFF(Dates[Date],Dates[OtherDate],DAY),
-DATEDIFF(Dates[OtherDate],Dates[Date],DAY )
)

Hi,

 

How do you count only work days between two dates?

 

Thanks

Just add a column to your Date table that will mark a date as a weekday or weekend day and then filter appropriately in your measures.
