    jcardea Hello

     

    Please try the following calculated column

     

    =COUNTROWS(FILTER(ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR(datestable[Enter],datestable[Modified]),"Day",WEEKDAY ([Date],1)),[Day]<>1&& [Day]<>7))+INT(datestable[Enter])+1-datestable[Enter]+datestable[Modified]-INT(datestable[Modified])-2

     

    Please replace

    1. datestable by the name of your own table
    2. Enter column by start date
    3. Modified column by end date

    The formula considers Sat and Sun as weekends

    You are a legend!!! This works for me, thanks so much. Im trying to usnderstand the following part of the formula

    ........."Day", WEEKDAY ( [Date], 1 )

     

    That is adding a number to this virtual table containing the day number so we can filter it out however where is "[date]" coming from and is it based on the first or 2nd date used int he formula?

     

    Also is the formula basically working out whole days excluding weekends first, then adding in the fraction of a day?

    This function is awesome and works great for calculating turnaround times in my reports.

     

    I'm tyring to generate another report where I would like turnaround time involved using this formual but I will also have cases where closed date has not yet been populated. Due to this I'm receiving an error. .

     

    Is there any way to use this formula but filter for just for closed values? I have a column that identifies if a row has been closed or not.
