Calculating Nth day of Quarter & Year by excluding holidays and weekends

Hi,

I am trying to calculate Nth day of fiscal Quarter and Year for current and previous year using Invoice date by excluding hoildays and weekends. I want to create two fields as 'Nth Day by Qtr_PY ', 'Nth Day by Qtr_CY','Nth Day by Yr_CY' and 'Nth Day by Yr_PY',. Please find the data and holiday list attached. Help me to get the output similar to the output sheet in the attached excel.

Changed the def. of the flags a little bit... check this

WeekBased445:
LOAD *,
	 If(MonthStart = Previous(MonthStart),
	 	If(HolidayFlag = 0, RangeSum(Peek('Nth Day by Month_CY'), 1), Peek('Nth Day by Month_CY')), If(HolidayFlag = 0, 1, 0)) as [Nth Day by Month_CY],
	 If(QuarterStart = Previous(QuarterStart),
	 	If(HolidayFlag = 0, RangeSum(Peek('Nth Day by Qtr_CY'), 1), Peek('Nth Day by Qtr_CY')), If(HolidayFlag = 0, 1, 0)) as [Nth Day by Qtr_CY],
	 If(YearStart = Previous(YearStart),
	 	If(HolidayFlag = 0, RangeSum(Peek('Nth Day by Yr_CY'), 1), Peek('Nth Day by Yr_CY')), If(HolidayFlag = 0, 1, 0)) as [Nth Day by Yr_CY];

Thanks for the reply Sunny. The new code is working fine for Month but showing the same values as Month for QTR and Year.  I am trying to understand your code. Meanwhile could you please help me to resolve Qtr and Year.


Are you not seeing this?

I am seeing 0 for Qtr and Yr on 1/2/2017.... Is this not what you want? or the issue is elsewhere? You will have to provide more details as to what is not working for Qtr and Yr?

Now Quarter seems to be behave differently compared to Months. They spill over to next quarter?

Actually the logic is same as month Sunny. 

Let me explain you the logic:

We follow 4,4,5 weeks logic for the months. 

MonthNo. of Weeks
Jan4
Feb4
Mar5
Apr4
May4
Jun5
Jul4
Aug4
Sep5
Oct4
Nov4
Dec5

 

If a month's 1st day falls on 5th or 4th week of any month, then will check if the month is having 4 weeks or 5 weeks. According to the no.of weeks the month will start from the previous month or the next month. 

Ex.  In your snapshot. Since Mar is 5week's month and 1st  and 2nd Apr is falling on the 5th week of Mar, hence 1st and 2nd Apr is considered as part of Mar month.  Hence this is considered as part of 1st quarter. 

The below snapshot is for the Nth day of Month. Even here the 1st and 2nd Apr is part of Mar month and Apr is starting from the 3rd.

Please let me know if you need more clarifications.

I think in that case you need to start with a master calendar based on the following idea

Recipe for a 4-4-5 Calendar (Script: Calendars Script)

Once you have this in place, it will be very simple to create a count like the one you want.

Thank you so much .............for sharing this logic Sunny. Very thankful to you 🙂 

However with this code holidays are getting excluded properly. Please find the snapshot below. 

2nd Jan is a holiday, hence counter should start from 3rd Jan. However it is staring from 2nd Jan itself.

Thanks for the reply Sunny. The new code is working fine for Month but showing the same values as Month for QTR and Year.  I am trying to understand your code. Meanwhile could you please help me to resolve Qtr and Year.
