Date Diff in Hours : Minutes excluding weekends..
- 7 years ago
Hi Anonymous,
I've implemented your additional requirements for handling hours at weekends. You need some new columns:
First of all, you need to find a new Start timestamp. If it is Saturday or Sunday, just use the start of tomorrow.
NextPossibleStart = IF ( WEEKDAY ( Table1[Start]; 2 ) >= 6; DATEADD ( Table1[Start].[Date]; 1; DAY ); Table1[Start] )Then you need to find the start of a day if the end timestamps is Saturday or Sunday.
PreviousPossibleEnd = VAR IsWeekend = WEEKDAY ( Table1[End]; 2 ) >= 6 VAR NewEndDate = IF ( IsWeekend; Table1[End].[Date]; Table1[End] ) VAR IsNewEndDateBeforeStartDate = NewEndDate < Table1[NextPossibleStart] RETURN IF ( IsNewEndDateBeforeStartDate; Table1[NextPossibleStart]; NewEndDate )Use these 2 new columns in finding all weekend days between 2 dates.
CountOfWeekdays = VAR tableOfDays = CALENDAR ( Table1[NextPossibleStart]; Table1[PreviousPossibleEnd] ) VAR tableOfWeekdays = FILTER ( tableOfDays; WEEKDAY ( [Date]; 2 ) >= 6 ) VAR countOfWeekdays = COUNTROWS ( tableOfWeekdays ) RETURN IF ( ISBLANK ( countOfWeekdays ); 0; countOfWeekdays )And also in the diff:
DiffWithoutWeekends = VAR DiffInMinutes = DATEDIFF ( Table1[NextPossibleStart]; Table1[PreviousPossibleEnd]; MINUTE ) VAR DiffInHours = QUOTIENT ( DiffInMinutes; 60 ) VAR WeekendHours = 24 * Table1[CountOfWeekdays] VAR DiffInHoursWithoutWeekend = DiffInHours - WeekendHours VAR ModuloDiffInMinutes = MOD ( DiffInMinutes; 60 ) VAR Result = FORMAT ( DiffInHoursWithoutWeekend; "00" ) & ":" & FORMAT ( ModuloDiffInMinutes; "00" ) RETURN ResultSome tests:
And you can also download the PowerBI file again, I've uploaded the new version of it.
Thank you for replying.. This script is for calculating how much duration is taken to close an IT Ticket excluding weeknd hours.
If the Start falls in weekend then we should exclude the Start Time hours should be excluded while calculating the time difference. Similarly if the End Falls in weekend then End hours should be excluded while calculating the time difference.
Is this possible?
