Need help :)

Goodday guys, i need your help in correcting this formula because something is wrong and it returns an error

'The begin or enddate in the function Calendar can not be empty'

 

 
Doorlooptijd correctie Sisu in Werkdagen = VAR YourDate = if(IsBlank([Afgerond]); TODAY(); [Afgerond])
RETURN
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(
ADDCOLUMNS(
            CALENDAR(
                [OA retour gestuurd];
                YourDate
            );
            "DayofWeek";
            WEEKDAY(
                [Date];
                2
            )
        );
        [DayofWeek] <> 6 && [DayofWeek] <> 7
    ))

@sturlaws the column [OA retour gestuurd]  is a column with date values and yes it can be BLANK and that triggered me to change the formula to this and it seems to work

 

Doorlooptijd correctie Sisu in Werkdagen = IF(Hoogbouwregistratie[OA retour gestuurd]<>BLANK();
VAR YourDate = if(IsBlank([Afgerond]); TODAY(); [Afgerond])
RETURN
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(
ADDCOLUMNS(
            CALENDAR(
                [OA retour gestuurd];
                YourDate
            );
            "DayofWeek";
            WEEKDAY(
                [Date];
                2
            )
        );
        [DayofWeek] <> 6 && [DayofWeek] <> 7
    )))

Hi @RonaldvdH,

I am not able to recreate your issue with a simple dataset I created. Is  [OA retour gestuurd] a measure? I guess the reason for your error is that this value is blank.
