    Hi， Anonymous ；

    You could modify the dax as follows:

    WorkingDays = 
VAR YourDate =
    IF ( [enddate] = BLANK (), [startdate], [enddate] )
var _count=
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            ADDCOLUMNS (
                CALENDAR ( [startdate], YourDate ),
                "Day of Week", WEEKDAY ( [Date], 1 )),
            [Day of Week] <> 1&& [Day of Week] <> 7) )
return IF([enddate]=BLANK(),0,_count)

    The final output is shown below:

Please try this column expression instead.  Replace WD with your actual table name.

 

WDays =
VAR enddate =
    IF ( ISBLANK ( WD[enddate] ), TODAY (), WD[enddate] )
VAR result =
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            CALENDAR ( WD[startdate], enddate ),
            WEEKDAY ( [Date] ) IN { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( ISBLANK ( WD[enddate] ), 0, result )

    Thank you Pat. your expression works but not expected

     

    when there is any future dates in startdate  i.e startdate greater than enddate (startdate>enddate) ex:(9/10/2021 > 9/8/2021).

    If there is any future dates in startdate make startdate as blank and also for any blanks in either startdate or enddate we replace them with blanks/0 but not with Today() 

     

    Please suggest

        Hi Anonymous 

         

        Try to add another condition to mahoneypat measure, if you want to show 0, when startdate is grater than end date or one of those date items is blank:

         

        WDays =
        VAR enddate =
            IF ( ISBLANK ( WD[enddate] ), TODAY (), WD[enddate] )
        VAR result =
            COUNTROWS (
                FILTER (
                    CALENDAR ( WD[startdate], enddate ),
                    WEEKDAY ( [Date] ) IN { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
                )
            )
        RETURN
            IF ( WD[startdate]>WD[enddate]||ISBLANK ( WD[enddate] )||ISBLANK ( WD[startdate] ), 0, result )
