Workday calculation

Hi Experts,

I have requirement to calculate workday per month. 

The Logic for workday calculation is:
Number of days per month minus public holidays, Saturdays, and Wednesdays. If a public holiday falls on a Wednesday, it should be additionally subtracted.

In the Master calender. I have a sepearet column to identify IsHoliday, IsSaturday and IsWednesday.

Attahced is the PBIX

Workdays.pbix

Thank you!

Hi @puru85 
Modify the formula of column isworkday to :

Not work day =
 
 IF('MasterCalendar'[Date] IN VALUES('Public Holiday'[Date]) && MasterCalendar[Weekday Number] =4,2,
 IF('MasterCalendar'[Date] IN VALUES('Public Holiday'[Date]) ||  MasterCalendar[Weekday Number] =7 ||  MasterCalendar[Weekday Number] =4,1,0
 ))

Hi @Ritaf1983 @mickey64 @ryan_mayu ,

Thank you for helping me.
The measure you have created is calculating:
Number of days per month minus public holidays, Saturdays, and Wednesdays.

But requirement is:
Number of days per month minus public holidays, Saturdays, and Wednesdays. If a public holiday falls on a Wednesday, it should be additionally subtracted.

Please refer to below Master Calender Table for May 2024.

1 May and 22 May is Public Holiday which falls on Wednesday so it should be additionally subtracted.

So the number of working days for May 2024 will be: 20.

Hi @puru85 

You can add column to the calender like :

Not work day =
 IF('MasterCalendar'[Date] IN VALUES('Public Holiday'[Date]) ||  MasterCalendar[Weekday Number] =7 ||  MasterCalendar[Weekday Number] =4,1,0)
And measure :
Workdays count Rita = COUNTROWS('MasterCalendar')-sum('MasterCalendar'[Not work day])
Result:

Step 0: I use your PBIX file.

 

Step 1: I make 3 measures below.

M_All Days = COUNTROWS('MasterCalendar')

M_Holiday_Wed_Sat = COUNTROWS(FILTER('MasterCalendar','MasterCalendar'[IsHoliday]=TRUE()||'MasterCalendar'[IsSaturday]=TRUE()||'MasterCalendar'[IsWednesday]=TRUE()))

M_Workdays = [M_All Days]-[M_Holiday_Wed_Sat]

 

Step 2: I make a matrix below.

@puru85 

is this what you want?

 

Measure = COUNTROWS('MasterCalendar')-CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(MasterCalendar),FILTER(MasterCalendar,MasterCalendar[Weekday]="Wednesday"))-CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Public Holiday'),FILTER('Public Holiday','Public Holiday'[Date]<=min('MasterCalendar'[Date])&&'Public Holiday'[Date]<=max('MasterCalendar'[Date])))
