Exclude weekends from Date Measure

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I use the following measure to calculate the dates between two different date values:

days = DATEDIFF('SALES'[OrderDate], 'SALES'[OrderCompleteDate],DAY), but I want to exclude the weekends (Saturday & Sunday) in this measure, how can I achieve this?

Hi, @Anonymous 

I create a simple sample, you can refer to:

First you need to create a calendar table and a isweekend column.

Then you can create a measure to calculate datediff using the calendar table data.

Like this:

Table = CALENDARAUTO()

IsWeekend = if(WEEKDAY([Date])=1||WEEKDAY([Date])=7,1)

DaysDiff =
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        [Date] >= SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[OrderDate] )
            && [Date] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[OrderCompleteDate] )
            && [IsWeekend] <> 1
    )
)

Pbix file is below.

Hi v-janeyg-msft ,

I got the Daysdiff correctly but I am having duplicate values of Work Order as WO is coming from different table. How to get unique value of WO.

@v-janeyg-msft Thanks! And how can I calculate the average days? For example if I add an order number to it and I want to calculate for all the order numbers the average days it takes to complete an order. Thanks

Add a measure.

Measure = 
AVERAGEX( ADDCOLUMNS('Table1',"DaysDiff",
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        [Date] >= EARLIER( Table1[OrderDate] )
            && [Date] <= EARLIER ( Table1[OrderCompleteDate] )
            && [IsWeekend] <> 1
    )
)),[DaysDiff])
