Working Days between two periods

Hello  -  This formula works for counting positive days between two periods  (weekdays only).     Meaning...this assumes the Delivery Date comes after the Order Date.     I am actually using this f...

    Yes, like I mentioned - you have to add your workday-filter.

    It should work like you did before.

    As I had to build the sample data from scratch, I've allowed myself to skip that additional column.

    Thank you Imke!!     Here is the final formula for anyone else that may need this.    Again, this counts the number of workdays between one period and the next   (in this...between Due Dates  and  Ship Dates).     And also accounts for if the ship date comes earlier than the due date.  

     

    WDC =
    If( 'Flu Shipped'[Due Date] < 'Flu Shipped'[Date Shipped],
    CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS( DateTable ),
    DATESBETWEEN ( DateTable[Date],  'Flu Shipped'[Due Date], 'Flu Shipped'[Date Shipped]),DateTable[DateIsWorkingDay]= True,
        ALL ( 'Flu Shipped' )
    ),

    CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS( DateTable ),
    DATESBETWEEN ( DateTable[Date], 'Flu Shipped'[Date Shipped], 'Flu Shipped'[Due Date]), DateTable[DateIsWorkingDay]=True,
        ALL ( 'Flu Shipped' )
    ) * -1)

Hi Anonymous 

how about this?

 

WD = if ( 

'Flu Shipped'[Due Date] < 'Flu Shipped'[Date Shipped],
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS ( DateTable),
    DATESBETWEEN ( DateTable[Date],  'Flu Shipped'[Due Date], 'Flu Shipped'[Date Shipped] -0 ),
    DateTable[DateIsWorkingDay] = TRUE,
    ALL ( 'Flu Shipped' ),

CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS ( DateTable),
    DATESBETWEEN ( DateTable[Date], 'Flu Shipped'[Date Shipped] -0,  'Flu Shipped'[Due Date],  ) * -1,
    DateTable[DateIsWorkingDay] = TRUE,
    ALL ( 'Flu Shipped'
) )

I tried it.   I am getting the error: 

 

A function "Calculate" has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a Table filter expression.   This is not allowed.

     Oh yes, sorry - the *-1 has to be moved:

     

    WD = if ( 

'Flu Shipped'[Due Date] < 'Flu Shipped'[Date Shipped],

CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS ( DateTable),
    DATESBETWEEN ( DateTable[Date],  'Flu Shipped'[Due Date], 'Flu Shipped'[Date Shipped] -0 ),
    DateTable[DateIsWorkingDay] = TRUE,
    ALL ( 'Flu Shipped' ),

CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS ( DateTable),
    DATESBETWEEN ( DateTable[Date], 'Flu Shipped'[Date Shipped] -0,  'Flu Shipped'[Due Date],  ) ,
    DateTable[DateIsWorkingDay] = TRUE,
    ALL ( 'Flu Shipped' 
) * -1 )

      Hi Imke  -  I'm still getting the same message.   

       

      I think maybe it has something to do with the IF statement and the Calculate Statments?

        Hi working for me, but there might be typos in my post. Please compare with screenshot:

         

         

        WDC = 
If( 'Flu Shipped'[Due Date] < 'Flu Shipped'[Date Shipped],
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS( 'Calendar' ),
DATESBETWEEN ( Calendar[Date],  'Flu Shipped'[Due Date], 'Flu Shipped'[Date Shipped]),
    ALL ( 'Flu Shipped' )
),

CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS( 'Calendar' ),
DATESBETWEEN ( Calendar[Date],   'Flu Shipped'[Date Shipped], 'Flu Shipped'[Due Date]) ,
    ALL ( 'Flu Shipped' )
) * -1)

        .. just be aware that the holiday-filter is missing in my sample..
