Solved

Calculation days between dates excluding weekends and holidays

I know there are tonns exaples here in a forum and on the web, but it seems that I find something for which I can not find a solution.

I have a fact table with dates and a tbldates table with the IsWorkingDayCode column that is set to 1 or 0 correctly.

It seems to be very easy, but I'm getting a mistake:

A column specified in the function call 'DATESBETWEEN' is not of type DATE. This is not supported

both columns are dates of fact table and are likned to tblDate

Calculated column:

Busness Days=
CALCULATE( COUNTROWS ( 'tblDate'),
DATESBETWEEN ( 'tblDate'[DateKey], V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS[Open Date],
IF (
V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS[App End Date] <> BLANK (),
V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS[App End Date],
TODAY ()
)
-1 ),
'tblDate'[IsWorkingDayCode] = TRUE ,
ALL ( V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS )
)


I was trying a lot of solutions without success.

Any appreciated help.

Thank you!

    Ok, this is most likely because the 'tblDate'[DateKey] is not in the same format as the V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS[App End Date]

    They either both need to be DateKey (such as 20200714) or Date (such as July 14, 2020)

    I think the -1 might be part of the problem here.

    Try:

    Busness Days =
    CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS ( 'tblDate'),
    DATESBETWEEN ( 'tblDate'[DateKey], V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS[Open Date],
    IF (
    NOT(ISBLANK(V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS[App End Date])),
    V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS[App End Date],
    TODAY ()
    )
    ),
    'tblDate'[IsWorkingDayCode] = TRUE ,
    ALL ( V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS )
    ) -1

        Do you want inclusive or exclusive of the open and end dates? Just add or remove the equal sign as needed in the inequalities below (as a new column in the V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS table): 

        COLUMN = 

        VAR _maxDate = IF (
        NOT(ISBLANK(V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS[App End Date])),
        V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS[App End Date],
        TODAY ()
        )

        RETURN
        COUNTROWS (FILTER( ALL('tblDate'),
        'tblDate'[DateKey]>= V_PBI_APPLICATION_STATUS[Open Date]

        && 'tblDate'[DateKey]<=_maxDate
        && 'tblDate'[IsWorkingDayCode] = TRUE 
        )) -1
