NetworkDays

Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:36:02 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I'm working with the NetWorkDays functions and can't come up with the solution on how to get the underlaying working days to be displayed.

I'm using this formula:

=networkdays(Today()-14,Today())

This results in 11 workdays. I would like to change this a little bit, instead of 11 I would like it to say 14 and I would like to know which startdate and enddate it will return.

I have a transaction table and I would like to display my sales values for these 14 days (Not 11).

How can I found the dates and how can I display this in a chart?

Thanks

Hi,

You can use LastWorkDate() to get the last nth working day.

=lastworkdate (today(), 14)

Hope this helps you.

Jagan.

Check with firstworkdate and lastworkdate

Start date

=FirstWorkDate(Today(),14)

End Date

=LastWorkDate(FirstWorkDate(Today(),14),14)

Hope it helps

Hi,

Unfortunatly this will not work. You describe the earliest ending date but I want to go BACK 14 work days from today's date.

Then I would llike to get these dates presented as a dimension in my chart.

Thanks

Celambarasan,

Thanks. That helped me, now I have the start date and the end date. Any ideas of how I can display this in a chart with all the dates on the dimension and sales for each date as an expression?

Thanks

You can achieve this using set analysis

Use DateField as Dimension

Expression as Sum({<DateField={">=$(=StartDateExpression)<=$(=EndDateExpression)"}>} Sales)

Make sure that StartDateExpression and EndDateExpression value date format is same as there in DateField.

Thanks! It worked!

Sum({<DateField={">=$(=FirstWorkDate(Today(),14))<=$(=LastWorkDate(FirstWorkDate(Today(),14),14))"}>} Sales)
