Add DateTime excluding weekends
Hi, I am trying to add a new column to create a Due Dates for the Ticket Created Date. But I have to exclude weekends. No idea on how to proceed.
Below is my requirement.
Columns:
Ticket ID, Priority, CreatedDate
Requirement - Create a new column as "Due Date"
Priority = 1 then no need to exclude weekends and add 2 hours to the Date value
Priority = 2 then exclude weekends and add 8 hours (Example: if Date is 22-Mar-2019 11:00 PM then Due Date should be 25-Mar-2019 7:00 AM
Priority = 3 then exclude weekends and add 5 business days to date value.
Please help...
Anonymous Please try this as a New Column. Let me know how it goes and if it fails for any of your scenario. It will be always helpful if you can post some sample test data along with the expected output.
DueDate = VAR _P1 = Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[CreatedDate] + TIME(2,0,0) VAR _P2 = Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[CreatedDate] + TIME(8,0,0) VAR _P3 = Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[CreatedDate] + 7 VAR _PreFinal1 = SWITCH(Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[Priority],1,_P1,2,_P2) VAR _PreFinal2 = SWITCH(WEEKDAY(_PreFinal1,2),6,_PreFinal1+2,7,_PreFinal1+1) VAR _Final = IF(ISBLANK(_PreFinal2),_PreFinal1,_PreFinal2) RETURN IF(Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[Priority] IN {1,2},_Final,_P3)

I will try and update you the results.
I am very new to PBI . I tried to undertand the below lines and I have not clue on why we are adding _PreFinal1+2. Please explain so that I could understand. Also how the weekends are getting excluded for P3. I dont see any special line written for that.
VAR _PreFinal2 = SWITCH(WEEKDAY(_PreFinal1,2),6,_PreFinal1+2,7,_PreFinal1+1)
VAR _Final = IF(ISBLANK(_PreFinal2),_PreFinal1,_PreFinal2)SWITCH(Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[Priority],1,_P1,2,_P2) - Is it possible to add one more condition like "Ticket Type" is "Incident" and Priority is 1 then _P1 in Switch.
Kindly help...
Anonymous Hope you have managed to test this ?
_Prefinal2 --> This is to skip the weekends, after adding the 2 hours or 8 hours based on the priority and the result date falls into weekend i.e saturday then +2 or sunday then +1
For P3, logically it is straight forward because for any weekday from Monday through Friday if you add 5 days then it will definitely fall into weekend. So it will be always +7 (5days + 2days for weekend)
Adding one more condition for ticket type then change the _PreFinal1 as below
VAR _PreFinal1 = IF([Priority] = 1&& [Type]="Incident",_P1,IF([Priority] = 2,_P2))
Note - It will be always helpful if you can post some sample test data and expected output.
DueDate =
VAR _P1 = Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[CreatedDate] + TIME(2,0,0)
VAR _P2 = Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[CreatedDate] + TIME(8,0,0)
VAR _P3 = Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[CreatedDate] + 7
VAR _PreFinal1 = SWITCH(Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[Priority],1,_P1,2,_P2)
VAR _PreFinal2 = SWITCH(WEEKDAY(_PreFinal1,2),6,_PreFinal1+2,7,_PreFinal1+1)
VAR _Final = IF(ISBLANK(_PreFinal2),_PreFinal1,_PreFinal2)
RETURN IF(Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[Priority] IN {1,2},_Final,_P3)PattemManohar Once again thank you much for helping me out. If I change VAR_P2 to Test274DateAddExcludeWeekends[CreatedDate] + 10 to skip 10 days excluding weekends. The weekends are not getting excluded. Please help..
Anonymous Just to confirm, you are trying the change the logic of P2 to add 10 days (Excluding Weekends) instead of 8 hours which we have done earlier. Is that correct ?
