Function NETWORKDAYS not available in DAX

‎10-27-2023 06:36 AM

Hi, I'm using PowerBI 2.119.986.0 64-bit (July 2023) in which I try to build a measure using the NETWORKDAYS function. But it looks that it's not available for me. DAX doesn't recognize this formula. Am I doing something wrong?

I found the issue. NETWORKDAYS isn't a available function when using a direct link to the database. It's only available when using an import.

aha!  that makes sense, all modelling should be done in the source if you can if you using direct query.

you need to pass networkdays a set of date values

Thanks for your answer. I know the format of the formula. My problem is that DAX doesn't show the formula as one I can use (see my screen print).
