I having some trouble.
I am trying to compare the MTD Volume to the Previous MTD Volume but based on business days. For example the MTD up to the 20th business day in May (5/28/2019) to the MTD of the previous business month in April (4/26/2019)
I have created a Date table where my week is from Monday to Sunday (1 -7).
Thank you for any assistance!

Hello @Anonymous ,
For this solution we will need to add a couple columns to your date table. One for the YearMonth number, one to check if it is a Sat or Sunday, and one to calc the working day of the month. These are added as calculated columns to your date table.
YearMonthSort = YEAR( [Date] )*100 + MONTH([Date])
IsWorkingDay = NOT WEEKDAY( [Date] ) IN {1,7}
Working Day of Month = VAR CurrentMonth = Dates[Year Month] VAR CurrentRow = Dates[Date] RETURN CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS( Dates ), ALL ( Dates ), Dates[Year Month] = CurrentMonth, Dates[Date] < CurrentRow, Dates[IsWorkingDay] = TRUE ) +1
You will need a measure to just sum the volume
Volume Amount = SUM ( 'Table'[Volume] )
Then we can add the Prior Month MTD filtered measure
PMMTD_Filtered = VAR MaxWorkingDay = MAX ( Dates[Working Day of Month] ) VAR MonthYear = SELECTEDVALUE ( Dates[YearMonthSort] ) RETURN CALCULATE( [Volume Amount], ALL ( Dates ), Dates[YearMonthSort] = MonthYear - 1, Dates[Working Day of Month] <= MaxWorkingDay )
You can see in my example, the straight PM_MTD_Raw returns the amount that is through the 14th (the wrong amount) but the PMMTD_Filtered returns only the Volume through Day 10.
I uploaded my sample file for you to look at. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lm1je1c9uxjcrdy/WorkingDays.pbix?dl=0

Thank you, this is perfect! @jdbuchanan71
I have a field that calculates if it is a weekend or a holiday, so I will see if I can use that for the ISWORKDAY field, but I wanted to ask how do i make it where the Saturday, Sunday, and/or Holiday calculates to the last business day instead of the next day i.e.
Day
Sat = 5
Sun = 5
Mon = 6
So you want the Sat and Sun counted as the Friday working day of month, not the Monday.
Just have to adjust the [Working Day of Month] coulmn calculation a bit.
Working Day of Month = VAR CurrentMonth = Dates[Year Month] VAR CurrentRow = Dates[Date] RETURN CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS( Dates ), ALL ( Dates ), Dates[Year Month] = CurrentMonth, Dates[Date] <= CurrentRow, Dates[IsWorkingDay] = TRUE )
