    Hi Anonymous 

     

    Following edhans logic, if you don't have a Date table, create a virtual one

    TAT1 = 
VAR Dates=ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR(MIN('Table'[SR_CREATION_DATE]),TODAY()),"weekday",WEEKDAY([Date]))
RETURN
IF([SR_Status]="Closed",
    COUNTROWS(FILTER(Dates,[Date] >= [SR_CREATION_DATE] && [Date] < [Last_Update_Date] && [weekday] <> 5)),
    COUNTROWS(FILTER(Dates,[Date] >= [SR_CREATION_DATE] && [Date] < TODAY() && [weekday] <> 5)))

Hi Anonymous , While Anonymous does work without a date table, I provided a date table in the example I shared, and did so for a reason. if you have any dates in your model, you need a data table. Best practice. Power BI DAX simply becomes a mess if you do too much without a date table, as can be seen by the length of the DAX code I provided and the one where you have to create a virtual date table. It compounds if you do that to many columns or measures.
