    Hi JagThripp,

     

    Maybe you can try to use below formula.

     

    Sample formula of calculate column:

    Available workdays =
VAR workdayList =
    FILTER (
        CALENDAR ( Table[Created], Table[Updated] ),
        WEEKDAY ( [Date], 2 ) <= 5
    ) //remove weekend
VAR holidayList =
    VALUES ( Holiday[date] ) //holiday list
VAR remain =
    EXCEPT ( workdayList, holidayList ) //workday except holiday
RETURN
    COUNTROWS ( remain )

     

    If above not help, can you please share some sample data and holiday table? I will try to coding formula on it.

     

    Regards,

this is calculated column formula, so you should put it in 'ActiveWork_Mashup' table

added as a column, now the dates are in all rows, but still wrong, it is almost like it is not taking into consideration weekends and holidays.

 

 

Take into consideration the 08/05/18 - 14/05/18 date range that has 4 days calculated in Excel (yesterday).

 

Just doing a date to date in Excel shows that there should be 5 days, the new column is returning 7 which is everything including weekends.

    as I said earlier the 2) assumption is that holidays table contains dates for weekends
    you can work around it with this

    =
VAR StartDay = 'ActiveWork_Mashup'[Opened]
VAR EndDay = IF(ISBLANK('ActiveWork_Mashup'[Closed]),TODAY(),'ActiveWork_Mashup'[Closed])
VAR NrOfAllDays = DATEDIFF(StartDay;EndDay;DAY)
VAR NrOfHolidays = COUNTROWS(FILTER(ALL('Holidays'),AND(Holidays[Dates]<=EndDay,Holidays[Dates]>=StartDay) || WEEKDAY(Holidays[Dates],3)=6 || WEEKDAY(Holidays[Dates],3)=7))
RETURN
NrOfAllDays - NrOfHolidays

      Hi Stachu,

       

      I appreciate your patience with me on this.

       

      I have one more question, is it necessasry to have every day of the week listed in the Holidays table, indicating actual holidays?

       

      Or will the DAX you have provided count all week days and exclude holidays?

       

      I must ask this as the latest snipet you have provided still is not calculating the number of days between the CREATED date and NOW.

       

      I redid the calculation in Excel this morning so the image on the right is what I would expect to see in Power BI.

      The image on the left "COLUMN" is the new calculation provided by your good self.

       

       

      To be honest I would rather not have to add all the dates into the HOLIDAYS table.
