Comparing the dates from a CALENDAR table with the dates of another table
- 5 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
after a fierce battle I managed to solve the problem.
I created a Holiday Calendar (only with holidays) and a normal one. Then I excluded both holidays and weekends and with RANKX I got the "Next business day".
From my database I have a column which gives me the response time.
Example: I miss a call from my client at 15:00 and I call him at 17:30 (response time). My response time must be max. 4 hours after he has tried to contact me. My workday starts at 08:00 and ends at 18:00. So I have time to contact him until 09:00 on the "Next business day" (from 15:00 till 18:00 are 3h. and we have 1h. transfered to the "Next business day" which starts at 08:00. )
Solution: I created a column which only has 18:00:00 as a value and then I substracted it from the initial customer call time. If it is > than 4h I must call him on the same day and if it is < than 4h I can call him on the " Next business day" + the remaining time from the previous day.
Finally with a simple IF I created a column which shows the data in both cases.
Thank you! Regards! 😊
Hi specbk
Your Date Table should have every date in it between the first and last date in the range. If you need to exclude weekends from calculations there are other ways.
What do you need to create this new column for in your Sales table?

Hi PhilipTreacy ,
the problem is that I need to exclude holidays as well.
I need the Sales[SalesDate] + 1 in order to create a Sales[InTime] which can be "Yes" or "No" depending if Sales[SalesDate] + 1 < Sales[ResponseTime]. In other words if the response time is after the Sales[SalesDate] + 1 then we should get Sales[InTime] = "No" and vice versa.
