Remaining monthly workdays

Hi experts,

today i have to calculate the remaining workdays (Monday to Friday) per each months removing the holidays specified on "Holidays" tab of the attached XLSX.

2018-10-03 12_39_20-SampleData.xlsx - Excel.png

I put also the company code because in my case we have more than one.

Probably i have to use NetWorkDays() but i didn't understand how to specify multiple days dinamically.

So, removing Saturdays and Sundays and the three "Custom Holidays" of the XLSX "Holidays" tab, i wuold like to calculate the two yellow columns and obtain this:

Hi Michele,

Could you try the test script below:

// Load initial company data

CompanyCal:

LOAD

    Company,

    "Date",

    // Note. Match will be based on initial DayNames list from the main tab.

    if(match(weekday("Date"),'Sat.','Sun.')>0,0,1) as isAWorkDay

FROM [lib://Downloads/SampleData.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is CompanyCalendar);

//Add the holidays

left Join (CompanyCal)

LOAD

    Company,

    Holiday as "Date",

    1 as isHoliday

FROM [lib://Downloads/SampleData.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Holiday);

Final:

NoConcatenate

Load *,

if(Company=Previous(Company),

      if(resetmonth =1, //first day of month

          if(isAWorkDay = 1 and isHoliday=0, 1,0),

          if(isAWorkDay = 1 and isHoliday=0, peek(daycounter)+1, peek(daycounter)))

      ,1) as daycounter;

Load

Company,

    "Date",

    isAWorkDay,

    alt(isHoliday,0) as isHoliday,

    if(month("Date")<>Previous(month("Date")) ,1,0) as resetmonth

resident  CompanyCal

order by Company, "Date" desc;

drop table CompanyCal;

Drop fields resetmonth;

Regards,

LA

hi i've created a table with three columns:

the first one is the dimension "Date";

the second one contains this measure:

if(weekday(Date)='sat', '0',

if(weekday(Date)='sun', '0',

if(Date = '17/10/2018', '0',

  if(Date = '1/10/2018', '0',

   if(Date = '3/10/2018', '0', 1)))))

the third one contains this measure:

networkdays(Date,MonthEnd(Today()),'1/10/2018','3/10/2018','17/10/2018')

(The bold dates are your holydays.)

This is my result:

Create a master calendar using link below:

Master Calendar with Working days &amp; Holidays Flag

You can use holiday flag customized for each company if you want.

Ciao Valentina,

your solution works on front end but i need to set up this solution during load script and in a dinamically way (without hard cording dates into formulas) !

Hi Michele,

The way I see it you would need to evaluate each row based on the Company it belongs to and whether its a holiday for that company. What were you looking at optimising? If you do have a large dataset to load - perhaps you could save the tables as a QVD file as an intermediary step?
