Hi Guys,
I need to add a column that shows me the working day of the month, but starting and ending on a specific date,
for example started Jan 10 and ending Jan 25
I tried to create a column but the result was the total of the days.
I think the DATESMTD function is an option but I can't change the first day of the month.
thank a lot!
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @parry2k ,
I created a second table containing the dates of the new table and connected it with my calendar table, then I got the business days (related function) and with the following formula I can do it.
@Joshua_ all month start from 10 and ends at 25th? what's the logic?

Hi @parry2k ,
It happens that I need to import a new table to the project and the dates of that data start and end on the 10th of every month, and I need to display the results based on the business days between those periods.
