working days

hi ,

i have a field name with different days.

i want to calculate the  (day and day -1)  date for a pariticular date selected..

for example if i select the 02/01/2013 and i want to calucate the previous 2 days  or 1 day value.

if i use max(date)--- gives one date

if i use date(max(date)-1-- it gives 01/31/2013..

but if the day falls on sat or sun it has to show the friday value ..

is there any function for calculating the value for only working days...

or

i have a one month date from 01/01/2013 to 01/31/2013

when the user selects a particular date  i have to caluate the that days value and previous days value...

but the problem is i want to caluate only for weekdays..

so what should be the expression for previous days calculation ....

Hi

Use the following to get the prior working day:

     FirstWorkDate(Date(Today(1) - 1), 1)

If you have holiday dates in a quoted, comma separated list in variable vHolidays*, then you can use this format to take holidays into account as well;

     FirstWorkDate(Date(Today(1) - 1), 1, $(vHolidays));

For more information on QV working day functions, check out here.

Hope that helps

* ie something like this:

Set vHolidays = '2013/01/01', '2013/03/27', '2013/05/01';

Hi,

Let try with NetWorkDays (start:date, end_date {, holiday}) :Returns the number of working days (Monday-Friday) between and including start_date and end_date taking into account any optionally listed holidays. All parameters should be valid dates or timestamps.
