Hi @Shankar,

 

You can try to use below calculate column formula to calculate the total normal workday.(except saturday sunday)

Total WorkDays =
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        ADDCOLUMNS ( CALENDAR ( [Start], [End] ), "Day of Week", WEEKDAY ( [Date], 1 ) ),
        [Day of Week] <> 1
            && [Day of Week] <> 7
    )
)

If you need to remove other holidays, you need to create a holiday table and remove them in the formula.

Hi @bengisby,

 

If you have other specific holiday need to remove for current date range, you can try to use except function to compare with current visual calendar table. My formula will remove weekend dates from virtual calendar table.

DATEDIFF Working Days

@Anonymous, this link is great, but I'm just learning and don't understand how to insert the measure result as a value in the new column... I have a business days value for each row of data, and so I need each row to also remove the holidays.
