Does Excel Data Model Not Have DAX function for NETWORKDAYS?

I have a table loaded into the data model in Excel. I can't find the function for NETWORKDAYS. 

I tried to google this question and could not find an answer.

Hello @Txtcher ,

 

NETWORKDAYS is an Excel worksheet function, not a DAX function. In Power Pivot or Power BI, you’ll need to use DAX to replicate that functionality.

 

Firstly you need a calendar table. You can refer this blog:

How to replicate NETWORKDAYS in DAX?

You can create an calculated column with:

IsWorkday = IF(WEEKDAY(DateTable[Date], 2) <= 5, 1, 0)

 

If this solved your issue, please mark it as the accepted solution.
