Working day Flag in Script

Hi

I'm using the below expression in script to get the working days as 8 for weekdays and for weekends as 0.

If(Match(WeekDay(Date(Date#("DATE",'YYYYMMDD'),'M/D/YYYY'),0),'Sat','Sun'), 0,8) as WorkDayFlag,

This is working fine for me in desktop.

But if i run the same using QMC, the task fails and throws the below error.

Can someone help me with the same?

Thanks

Satish

Try

LOAD

If(Match(WeekDay(Date(Date#("DATE",'YYYYMMDD'),'M/D/YYYY')),'Sat','Sun'),0,8) as WorkDayFlag

From Source;

Why you use 0 in statement

If(Match(WeekDay(Date(Date#("DATE",'YYYYMMDD'),'M/D/YYYY'),0),'Sat','Sun'), 0,8) as WorkDayFlag,
