Hello,
I have the following measure that calculates the variance between two dates in my project but I need it to only calculate for days that fall on week days; meaning if the two dates cross a weekend, those two days should not be counted in the variance. I have a calendar table that is marked as a date table in my report and it has a column that indicates whether a day is a weekday or weekend but I don't know the syntax to use it to filter this calculation with.
@Clint , Refer to my blog how travel acorss workday.
you need the following columns in the Date table
Work Day = if(WEEKDAY([Date],2)>=6,0,1)
Work Date = if(WEEKDAY([Date],2)>=6,BLANK(),[Date])
Work Date Cont = if([Work Day]=0,maxx(FILTER('Date',[Date]<EARLIER([Date]) && [Work Day]<> EARLIER([Work Day]) ),[Date]),[Date])
Work Date cont Rank = RANKX(ALL('Date'),[Work Date Cont],,ASC,Dense)
Work day of month = Sumx(filter(Date, [Month year] = earlier([Month Day])),[Work Day])
Work day of week = Sumx(filter(Date, [Weekyear] = earlier([Weekyear])),[Work Day])
Example measure
This Day = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Work Date cont Rank]=max('Date'[Work Date cont Rank])))
Last day = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Work Date cont Rank]=max('Date'[Work Date cont Rank])-1))
diff =[This Day] - [Last day]
