Firstworkdate function issue.

Hi Everyone,

When we use firstworkdate() function it excludes Saturdays and Sundays, but I want to include Saturday as my working day, so what should i do? Is there any other function to calculate the same? Or any other method Please help?

Thanks in advance.

There is no standard option to include Saturdays as working days. If you are using a master calendar, then it is easy enough to create a workday flag that is set for Monday - Saturday. Then you can create expressions using this flag - for example NetWorkDays(..) becomes a count/sum of the flag values.

Hi Chiranjeev

Maybe this

=date(FirstWorkDate(today(),v_n_days)

+Div(WEEKDAY(today()-v_n_days-6)+1-(today()-v_n_days)+today(),7))

where v_n_days is no. of days from firstworkdate which is today.
