[#1]

Hi Guys,

Please see the attachment below.

What I need to achieve, is to calculate the number of working days between Date1 and Date2, as detailed below.

Since I did not find a way to solve it throw tables, I am trying with VB Script.

It is almost done, but having a problem with function NetoWork.

Thanks in advance,

Aldo.

Date1= 07/10/2010 - Thursday - Working day

08/10/2010 - Friday - NOT Working day

09/10/2010 - Saturday- NOT Working day

10/10/2010 - Sunday

11/10/2010 - Monday - Holiday

12/10/2010 - Tuesday

13/10/2010 - Wednesday

14/10/2010 - Thursday

15/10/2010 - Friday- NOT Working day

16/10/2010 - Saturday- NOT Working day

17/10/2010 - Sunday

Date2= 18/10/2010 - Monday

And if I defined 11/10/2010 as Holiday, then I should get:

Neto Working Days = 6 Days.

Aldo,

I hadn't realized you could create custom functions in VB for the script. I'll have to think about what I can do with that.

However, wouldn't your problem be better resolved with a chart expression like the following after modifying a little the data model to make a table with all the possible dates between the ranges linking that table with the work day and holiday table?

count(distinct if(Date>=Date1 and Date<=Date2
and IsWorkDay
and IsHoliday<>0,Date))

I did the attached example on the chart side, but with a some more work you can do the same on the script side with intervalmatch, joins and/or mappings instead of using a custom function.

Regards.

Hi Karl,

Something is wrong with the file. Could you upload it again, please?

Thanks,

Aldo.

Try it again. What error does it send you? Failed to Load?

I tried to work it around using interval match, but having problems to set the "Count" expression..

How do I solve it?

Thanks,

Aldo.

Okay! I have it working!!

Is there any simpler and faster way to do it?

Thanks a lot.
