NETWORKDAYS in Hours

Hello,

 

I have found the code bellow to create a function that calculates NETWORKDAYS in power query. Any idea on how to convert to something that will calculate hours instead of days (for example 23hours or 0.96days instead of 1 day)? Thanks in advance!

 

// fnNETWORKDAYS
let func =
(StartDate, EndDate, optional Holidays as list, optional StartOfWeek as number) =>
let
// optional StartOfWeek, if empty the week will start on Monaday
startOfWeek = if StartOfWeek = null then 1 else StartOfWeek,

// cater for empty dates
StartEmpty = if StartDate = null then #date(1900,1,1) else StartDate,
EndEmpty = if EndDate = null then #date(1900,1,1) else EndDate,

// Providing for logic where EndDate is after StartDate
Start = List.Min({StartEmpty, EndEmpty}),
End = List.Max({StartEmpty, EndEmpty}),

// Switch sign if EndDate is before StartDate
Sign = if EndEmpty < StartEmpty then -1 else 1,

// Get list of dates between Start- and EndDate
ListOfDates = List.Dates(Start, Number.From(End - Start) + 1,#duration(1,0,0,0)),

// if the optional Holidays parameter is used: Keep only those dates in the list that don't occur in the list of Holidays;
// otherwise continue with previous table
DeleteHolidays = if Holidays = null then ListOfDates else List.Difference(ListOfDates, List.Transform(Holidays, Date.From )),

// Select only the first 5 days of the week
// The 1 in the 2nd parameter of Date.DayOfWeek makes sure that Monday will be taken as first day of the week
DeleteWeekends = List.Select(DeleteHolidays, each Date.DayOfWeek(_, startOfWeek) < 5 ),

// Count the number of days (items in the list)
CountDays = List.Count(DeleteWeekends) * Sign
in
CountDays ,
documentation = [
Documentation.Name = " Date.Networkdays.pq ",
Documentation.Description = " Returns the number of whole working days between StartDate and EndDate similar to the NETWORKDAYS-function in Excel. Working days exclude weekends and any dates identified in holidays. ",
Documentation.LongDescription = " Returns the number of whole working days between StartDate and EndDate similar to the NETWORKDAYS-function in Excel. Working days exclude weekends and any dates identified in (optional) holidays. ",
Documentation.Category = " Date ",
Documentation.Source = " www.TheBIccountant.com https://wp.me/p6lgsG-2fA . ",
Documentation.Version = " 3.1 Catering for empty dates",
Documentation.Author = " Imke Feldmann ",
Documentation.Examples = {[Description = " ",
Code = " ",
Result = " "]}]

in
Value.ReplaceType(func, Value.ReplaceMetadata(Value.Type(func), documentation))

Thanks for the link, but I would need to do it in power query, not DAX 😪
