Hello All,
Need help in excluding weekend dates from a date column in power query editor.
Thanks in Advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
Here's the simple version.
See below and attached. Basically, add a DayOfWeekName column based on your date and filter from there.
let
start = Number.From(#date(2021, 1, 1)),
end = Number.From(#date(2021, 12, 31)),
Source = {start .. end},
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(
Source,
Splitter.SplitByNothing(),
null,
null,
ExtraValues.Error
),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Converted to Table", {{"Column1", type date}}),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type", {{"Column1", "Date"}}),
#"Inserted Day Name" = Table.AddColumn(
#"Renamed Columns",
"Day Name",
each Date.DayOfWeekName([Date]),
type text
),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(
#"Inserted Day Name",
each ([Day Name] <> "Saturday" and [Day Name] <> "Sunday")
)
in
#"Filtered Rows"
