Calculating the net working days using M
Hi,
this could probably be solved in much more elegant way, but this is one way of getting the number of workdays
In the NCReport table, add a custom column with this code
=List.Numbers([NCR_date],[Today]-[NCR]+1)
and expand this to new rows. This will give you one row for each day between NCR_date and today. From the Home tab, use Merge queries, and merge NCReport with your dimDate on the column you just created. Expand the resulting column, and choose only your WorkingDay column. Then on the transform tab, use Group By, and group NCReport by NCR_date and Today, and for the new column do a sum over the WorkingDay column from the merge. If working day is true/false, you might have to convert it to 1/0 to get the sum to work
Hey Sturlaws, thanks for the suggestion. I see where you're going with this, but I don't think that's going to work as I have tens of thousands of rows already in my NCReport table, in addition, if I'm expanding each row by the number of days between NCR_Date to Today's date. it's going to get to an unmanageable size...
