NETWORKDAYS with multiple country holidays
- 8 years ago
HiAnonymous
For this use case, you need to calculate first the number of weekdays within your specified date range then deduct the number of weekdays that are holidays. Here's what I've come up with:
NETWORKDAYS W/ HOLIDAYS = VAR HOLIDAYS_ = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Holidays[Is Weekday?] ), DATESBETWEEN ( Holidays[Date], 'Processed Data'[Date of failure], 'Processed Data'[Date of repair] ), Holidays[Country] = EARLIER ( 'Processed Data'[Country] ) ) VAR REGuLAR_NETWORKKDAYS_ = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Dates[Is Weekday?] ), DATESBETWEEN ( Dates[Date], 'Processed Data'[Date of failure], 'Processed Data'[Date of repair] ) ) RETURN REGULAR_NETWORKKDAYS_ - HOLIDAYS_Please note that:
- HOLIDAYS and Dates tables are disconnected tables. They don't have any relationships with your fact table.
- DATESBETWEEN() behaves similarly with NETWORKDAYS in Excel. It aggregates the values within a specified date range and not the difference between the end and start dates. That being said, you might want to deduct 1 from the measure above and return 0 if after deducting 1 the result is negative.
Also, you can create a date calendar in DAX or M without pulling in data from an externa source. Here are sample codes:
M -
let Source = List.Dates(#date(2018, 1, 1), Number.From(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()) - #date(2018,1,1)) +1, #duration(1,0,0,0)), #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), {"Date"}, null, ExtraValues.Error), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Converted to Table",{{"Date", type date}}), #"Inserted Day Name" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Day Name", each Date.DayOfWeekName([Date]), type text), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Day Name", "Is Weekday?", each if [Day Name]="Saturday" or [Day Name]="Sunday" then 0 else 1, Int64.Type) in #"Added Custom"DAX
CALENDAR Table = CALENDAR ( MIN ( 'Processed Data'[Date of failure] ), MAX ( 'Processed Data'[Date of repair] ) )
Thanks danextian. I tried it but i am having error on the earlier statement, my column is not showing on the formula below,
NETWORKDAYS W/ HOLIDAYS =
VAR HOLIDAYS_ =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Holiday[IsWorkingDay] ),
DATESBETWEEN (
Holiday[Date],
'Processed Data'[Date of failure],
'Processed Data'[Date of repair]
),
Holiday[Country] = EARLIER ( 'Processed Data'[Country] )
)
VAR REGuLAR_NETWORKKDAYS_ =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( CalendarTable[WorkingDay] ),
DATESBETWEEN (
CalendarTable[Date],
'Processed Data'[Date of failure],
'Processed Data'[Date of repair]
)
)
RETURN
REGULAR_NETWORKKDAYS_ - HOLIDAYS_
and I am getting this error, upon enter
A single value for column 'Date of failure' in table 'Processed Data' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result.
By the way, this is supposed to be a calculated column and not a measure.

Hi danextian,
Yes, i was adding it as a measure, that is the problem, the solution works flawlessly. Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi danextian,
Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful solution.
for same requiremnt im using this and the only diffrence is Holiday is maintaining at "ATC" level instead of "Countries" where ATC is unique same Country. and ATC coulmn in EMPLOYEE table Nither Calculated column Nor Measure, it is a regular column appear in Model.
while creating the measure got the similar issues mentioned by Anonymous as below :
"Error: Calculation error in measure 'EMPLOYEE'[NETWORKDAYS W/ HOLIDAYS]: A single value for column 'FROM_DATE' in table 'EMPLOYEE' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result."
Code written was as below :
NETWORKDAYS W/ HOLIDAYS =:
VAR HOLIDAYS_ =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( HOLIDAY[ISWORKINGDAY] ),
DATESBETWEEN (
HOLIDAY[HOLIDAY],
EMPLOYEE[FROM_DATE],
EMPLOYEE[TO_DATE]
),
HOLIDAY[ATC] = EARLIER ( EMPLOYEE[ATC] )
)
VAR REGuLAR_NETWORKKDAYS_ =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( CALANDER(ISWORKINGDAY) ),
DATESBETWEEN (
CALANDER[Date],
EMPLOYEE[FROM_DATE],
EMPLOYEE[TO_DATE]
)
)
RETURN
REGULAR_NETWORKKDAYS_ - HOLIDAYS_could you please help me to undestand what went wrong.
