Exclude weekends from Date Measure

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.

     

    Did I answer your question ? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.

      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])

      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.
