How to calculate net working days - Step by Step

Dear All,

 

I am quite new with Power BI and I would need your support.

 

What I am trying to do is to calculate the net working days between two dates. I know that there are plenty of posts about this topic, however, I would need a step by step guide on how to do it.

 

In addition, would be possible to do this already in the Edit Queries part instead of building a new column or measure in the Desktop view.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Marco

can you post a screenshot of your data the columns you want a date diff between and what is the interval?

 

for net working days, do you have a date table,

what is a working day?  (working days vary from country to country), d

o you a way of flaggign a working day?

Hi @vanessafvg,

 

The Net Working days should be the difference between Sales Order date and Creation date.

 

This will exclude all the Saturdays and Sundays from the calculation (i.e same as in excel with the =NETWORKDAYS function).
