Business day countdown
Hi Everyone,
I need help with one of my PBI reports.
For the report I need to harmonize the months and find the similar business days.
Last working day of a month is considered "day 0", the workday prior "day -1", the workday prior to that "day -2".
How can I write a DAX to create this countdown on a calendar. At the bottom is the query code. Wasn't sure how to add the PBI
It is supposed to look something like this:
| Date | Weekday | Business day | Workday |
| 10/1/2023 | 7 | 0 | |
| 10/2/2023 | 1 | 1 | -21 |
| 10/3/2023 | 2 | 1 | -20 |
| 10/4/2023 | 3 | 1 | -19 |
| 10/5/2023 | 4 | 1 | -18 |
| 10/6/2023 | 5 | 1 | -17 |
| 10/7/2023 | 6 | 0 | |
| 10/8/2023 | 7 | 0 | |
| 10/9/2023 | 1 | 1 | -16 |
| 10/10/2023 | 2 | 1 | -15 |
| 10/11/2023 | 3 | 1 | -14 |
| 10/12/2023 | 4 | 1 | -13 |
| 10/13/2023 | 5 | 1 | -12 |
| 10/14/2023 | 6 | 0 | |
| 10/15/2023 | 7 | 0 | |
| 10/16/2023 | 1 | 1 | -11 |
| 10/17/2023 | 2 | 1 | -10 |
| 10/18/2023 | 3 | 1 | -9 |
| 10/19/2023 | 4 | 1 | -8 |

| 10/23/2023 | 1 | 1 | -6 |
| 10/24/2023 | 2 | 1 | -5 |
| 10/25/2023 | 3 | 1 | -4 |
| 10/26/2023 | 4 | 1 | -3 |
| 10/27/2023 | 5 | 1 | -2 |

This is immutable, there is no need to do this in DAX. Use an external calendar table where this is precomputed one time.
