Count working days for a month to get an average

[carlosagarcia]

Hello Everyone.

My intent is to calculate the number of working days for each month and display the number for the current month to get an average, For Example.

I created a report that tracks the number of lines processed, I would like to automatically devide the number of lines processed with the number of working days for the current month . I can do this manually  = Countoflines / 22 but I would have to change the number of working days each month. Will it be possible to have this automated so that when we switch to the next month it changes automatically?

Hi @carlosagarcia,

if you can please share some dummy data that keep the raw data structure and expected results. It should help us clarify your scenario and test to coding formula.

Hello @Anonymous  What I want to do it is to count the working days for the current month.

For example  in this case July 2021 has 22 working days, I want to be able to see the working days displated on a card or a table so I can use it to get an average of lines processed.

This seems to be a good method but I am unable to recreate the MonthYear table.

Hi @carlosagarcia,

Here is a calculated column expression that can be used to calculate the current month workdays(except weekend) based on date value, you can try it if helps:

CMonthWorkDay=
VAR currDate ='Date'[Date] 
RETURN
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            GENERATESERIES (
                DATE ( YEAR ( currDate ), MONTH ( currDate ), 1 ),
                DATE ( YEAR ( currDate ), MONTH ( currDate ) + 1, 1 ) - 1
            ),
            WEEKDAY ( [Date], 2 ) <= 5
        )
 )

Do you have a Date table with a column to indicate working days?  If so, you can use an expression like this

Count per WD =
VAR countoflines = [Your Count Measure]
VAR WD =
    CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Date' ), 'Date'[IsWorkingDay] = "Y" )
RETURN
    DIVIDE ( countoflines, WD )

Hello Ma,

I do not have a date table, I treid different methods over the weekend with various posts and I could not find one that will give the total amount of days, it was always decending one by one.

This is as far as I got.

Date = CALENDAR (DATE(2021,1,1), DATE(2022,12,31))

WorkingDays =

VAR Year = YEAR( [Date] )

VAR Month = MONTH( [Date] )

VAR DatesInMonth = GENERATESERIES( [Date], DATE( Year, Month + 1, 1 ) - 1, 1 )

RETURN SUMX(

DatesInMonth,

IF( WEEKDAY( [Value] ) IN { 1, 7 }, 0, 1 )

)

WorkingDaysCurrentMonth = 
  VAR __Calendar = 
    ADDCOLUMNS(
      CALENDAR(DATE(2021,1,1),DATE(2021,12,31))
      "IsWorkDay", IF(WEEKDAY([Date],2),1,0)
    )
  VAR __Today = TODAY()
  VAR __Start = DATE(YEAR(__Today),MONTH(__Today),1)
  VAR __End = EOMONTH(__Today,0)
RETURN
  COUNTROWS(FILTER(__Calendar,[IsWorkDay]=1 && [Date] >=__Start && [Date]<=__End))

Hello @Greg_Deckler   Would you still be able to help me out?

[Greg_Deckler]

@carlosagarcia Sorry, syntax error, should be:

"IsWorkDay", IF(WEEKDAY([Date],2)<6,1,0)

[carlosagarcia]

@Greg_Deckler  when you reffer to IsWorkDay what are you refering too?

The Dax query still does not recognize that name.  I really apreciate the help.

Hello @Greg_Deckler , You lost me on the IsworkDay. I have attached a screen shot.

[Greg_Deckler]

@carlosagarcia So, generally, you can create a "IsWorkingDay" column in your calendar table using something like:

IsWorkingDay = IF(WEEKDAY([Date],2)<6,1,0)
