function:networkday

[#1]

Hello everybody,

the "networkday" function return the number of working days (Monday-Friday) included between "start_date" and "end_date" excluding public holidays.

I am Italian and Italian  public holidays are different from other countries.
what are the holidays that excludes the function networkday?
How do I consider only the Italian festival?

thak you

HI,

   In that case you need to specify the holidays in networkday().

   For example you want networkdays between 2006-12-18 and 2006-12-31.

   If you just give this without the specific holidays you will get 10 as output.

   But say you have holiday on 2006-12-25 and 2006-12-26

   Then specify like this

   networkdays ('2006-12-18', '2006-12-31', '2006-12-25', '2006-12-26')

   and you will get answer as 8.

Here's an example of loading the holidays from a table, as I wouldn't want to edit the expression manually to insert every holiday.  It includes two approaches - custom "functions", and just the holidays as a variable.  I used to prefer custom functions.  Now I prefer a holiday variable due to limitations in passing parameters to custom functions.

Hi John,

I am unclear of how you have linked the tables.

I have one table called holidays which has one column called Holidays. How do i link this to my working hours calculation, where currently i have my holiday dates at the top set manually.

EG Currently i have Set vHol= '25/12/2012', 26/12/2012;

instead i want to connect to a table from a different db called Holidays, with one column with all holidays in.

Thanks

Laura
