Difference between two Dates excluding weekends

Hi Everyone,

Need your help on this issue - 

So, I've two date fields as shown below and I want to get the time difference between these two dates. The difference should exclude Saturday and Sunday. 

I saw this post in Qlik forum and tried to refer to the same logic but somehow am getting -ve values for some of the records. Also, even the positive values are not correct.  

Solved: Networkdays Calculation - Exact Decimals Required - Qlik Community - 1275922

Time Diff.

=NetWorkDays(START_DATE, END_DATE) -2 + (1- frac(START_DATE)) + frac(END_DATE)

I can get the time diff. using END_DATE - START_DATE, but it does not exclude Saturday and Sunday. 

START_DATE END_DATE Network Days Time Diff.
19-10-2024 16:57:06 20-10-2024 06:54:52 0 -1.42
31-08-2024 16:27:58 01-09-2024 08:27:50 0 -1.33
27-04-2024 04:29:00 27-04-2024 04:29:00 0 -1.00
22-01-2025 12:38:02 24-01-2025 05:33:39 3 1.71
24-02-2025 18:29:04 26-02-2025 11:43:29 3 1.72
16-01-2025 13:46:51 20-01-2025 07:01:32 3 1.72
02-01-2024 13:31:30 25-01-2024 02:06:07 18 16.52

Thank you for your effort. 

I found the exact solution after some trial and error.

NetworkDays(START_DATE, END_DATE) + Frac(Timestamp(END_DATE) - Timestamp(START_DATE))

Hi @sk88024 

Something like this? 

JandreKillianRIC_0-1740663627058.png

So the top one is actually 17 days and 12 hours. 

IF(NetWorkDays(Floor(START_DATE), Floor(END_DATE)) >= 1, 
Interval(Interval(Frac(END_DATE)-Frac(START_DATE), 'hh:mm:ss') +
NetWorkDays(Floor(START_DATE), Floor(END_DATE)), 'DD hh:mm:ss'), 0)

Let me know! 

Regards Jandre
