Retrive Second Working Day in PowerBI

Hi, 

I have imported all my daily reports into my powerbi.

I would like to have one dashboard with all the reports that dated every 2nd weekday of the month.

 

How can I create a formula to retrieve all the 2nd weekday of the month.

In Excel formula : =WORKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1)-1,2)

 

For example:

I need to get the report that is dated dated 02.11.2023 for Nov 2023 and 04.12.2023 for Dec 2023,

 

Thank You for your kind assistance!

First you have to  add new column and write below dax function, It will work for your requirement.
HOLLIDAY =
VAR secweek_num = IF( ROUNDUP(DIVIDE(DAY('calendar'[Date]), 7), 0) IN {2,4} && WEEKDAY('calendar'[Date]) IN{7,1},"LEAVE", "WORKING DAY")
VAR firweek_num = IF( WEEKDAY('calendar'[Date]) = 1, "LEAVE", secweek_num)
RETURN
firweek_num

hi @MONSTER123 ,

 

not sure if i fully get you, supposing your dates table is like:

dates = CALENDAR(DATE(2023, 11, 1), DATE(2024, 2, 5))

 

try to add a calculated column like below:

2ndWD = 
VAR _currentdate = [date]
VAR _workdaysinmonth= 
FILTER(
    dates,
    MONTH(dates[date]) = MONTH(_currentdate)
        &&YEAR(dates[date]) = YEAR(_currentdate)
        &&NOT WEEKDAY(dates[date], 2) IN  {6, 7}
)
VAR _firstworkday = MINX(TOPN(1, _workdaysinmonth, [date], ASC), [date])
VAR _secondworkday = MINX(FILTER(_workdaysinmonth, [date]>_firstworkday), [date])
VAR _result = IF(_currentdate = _secondworkday, "yes", "no")
RETURN _result

 

it worked like:

Hi, I am not sure how your semantic model looks like, but I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

I hope the below can provide some ideas on how to create a solution for your semantic model.

Expected result measure: =
VAR _t =
    FILTER (
        SUMMARIZE (
            ALL ( Sales ),
            'Calendar'[Date],
            'Calendar'[Weekday name sort],
            'Calendar'[Year-Month sort]
        ),
        NOT ( 'Calendar'[Weekday name sort] IN { 1, 7 } )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Sales[Quantity] ),
        KEEPFILTERS (
            INDEX (
                2,
                _t,
                ORDERBY ( 'Calendar'[Date], ASC ),
                ,
                PARTITIONBY ( 'Calendar'[Year-Month sort] )
            )
        )
    )
