NETWORKDAYS overriding Variables

Hello,

 

I was struggling with the new function NETWORKDAYS, that does not give the proper value at total. I insvestigated, and end up, to the following DAX to put in evidence the issue ;

 
Duration in work days from Release date to Last Ship Date =
Var selection =
ADDCOLUMNS(
    CALCULATETABLE(
                FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C,
                    FILTER(FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C ,
                        FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[Date First Released] <> BLANK()
                        && FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[Date Last Actual Ship] <> BLANK()
                        && FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[Date First Released] >= DATE(2022,01,05)
                    )
            ) ,
    "Date First Released bis" , FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[Date First Released]
)
VAR list_with_days =
        ADDCOLUMNS(
             selection   ,
            "calc_duration_work_day" ,
                VAR selected_site = SELECTEDVALUE(DIM_SITE[Site])
                VAR list_exception =
                UNION(
                    CALCULATETABLE(
                        SELECTCOLUMNS('Calendar WORK_TIME_EXCEPTION_C',
                            "exception date" ,'Calendar WORK_TIME_EXCEPTION_C'[EXCEPTION_DATE]
                        ), TREATAS({selected_site},'Calendar WORK_TIME_EXCEPTION_C'[SITE] )
                    ) , {[Date Last Actual Ship]  }
                )
                RETURN
                NETWORKDAYS([Date First Released bis] , [Date Last Actual Ship]   , 1 ,  list_exception  )
        )
return
CONCATENATEX(list_with_days  ,
    FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[Date First Released]   & " to " &  FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[Date Last Actual Ship] & " give "  &     [calc_duration_work_day] , ", " , FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[Date First Released] ,ASC
)
 
Here below is the resulut I et.

I thought the the duation of days would be stored in the variable  "list_with_days" and frozen.
 
But t seems the duration of days by line given afterwards has a different value.

 Does anyone already met this kind or issue ?
 
Thanks in advance to the community for the support.

To bypass  this issue of inacuracy of NETWORKDAYS at the total line, I came back to the basic,

 

I skipped the NETWORKDAYS funktion, and count days in a calculated variable table. and chetck that the aggregation worked properly at the end.

 

Duration in work days from Release date to Last Ship Date2 =
Var selection =
    CALCULATETABLE(
        FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C,
            FILTER(FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C ,
                FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[Date First Released] <> BLANK()
                && FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[Date Last Actual Ship] <> BLANK()
        )
    )
VAR list_with_days =
        ADDCOLUMNS(
             selection   ,
            "duration work days",
            COUNTROWS(
                FILTER(ALL('Calendar'),
                    WEEKDAY('Calendar'[Date],2) <= 5
                    &&  'Calendar'[Date] >=  [Date First Released]
                    &&  'Calendar'[Date] <  [Date Last Actual Ship]
                )
            )
            ,
            "count exception days",
            COUNTROWS(
                FILTER(ALL('Calendar WORK_TIME_EXCEPTION_C'),
                    FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[SITE] = 'Calendar WORK_TIME_EXCEPTION_C'[SITE]
                    && [EXCEPTION_DATE] >=  [Date First Released]
                    &&  [EXCEPTION_DATE]  <=  [Date Last Actual Ship]
                )
            )
        )
       
return
CONCATENATEX(list_with_days  ,
    FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[Date First Released]   & " to " &  FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[Date Last Actual Ship] & " give "  &  [duration work days] -  [count exception days]    , ", " , FACT_CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_C[Date First Released] ,ASC
)
 
This new basic approch is much more accurate,
