You can use this Calculated Column:
WorkingDayCount =
Var __CurrentDate = 'Table'[Date]
Var __CurrentMonth = 'Table'[MonthName]
Var __CurrentYear = YEAR( 'Table'[Date] )
Var __CurrentDay = 'Table'[DayofWeek]
Var __List= {"Saturday" , "Sunday" }
RETURN
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS( 'Table' ),
Filter(
ALL( 'Table'),
__CurrentDate >= 'Table'[Date]
&& NOT 'Table'[DayofWeek] IN __List
&& NOT __CurrentDay IN __List
&& __CurrentMonth = 'Table'[MonthName]
&& __CurrentYear = Year( 'Table'[Date])
)
)
This will tell you the weekday count (M-F), but you'd need a separate table to link to this one to explicitly call out holidays and exclude this from the data as well.
WorkingDays =
CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(D_Date),
FILTER(
ALL(D_Date[LINK_Date]),
DAY(D_Date[LINK_Date])<=D_Date[DATE_DayNumberInMonth]
&& YEAR(D_Date[LINK_Date])=D_Date[DATE_YearNumber]
&& MONTH(D_Date[LINK_Date])=D_Date[DATE_MonthNumber]
&& WEEKDAY(D_Date[LINK_Date],2) <> 6
&& WEEKDAY(D_Date[LINK_Date],2) <> 7
)
)I'd also be inclined to do this in Power Query - at least using that to define what is and isn't a workday returning a 1/0 or True/False.
See this post here and the related PBIX file as it is very similar to what you are describing. It has the holiday table in it.
DAX is for Analysis. Power Query is for Data Modeling
