How to calculate the number of BUSINESS days between two dates

[Former Member]

I have two dates in my data: Start Date and End Date.

I would like to create a formula in Webi that calculates the number of business days (M-F) between these two dates.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

try this.

=Floor((DaysBetween([Start Date];[End Date]))-Truncate((DayNumberOfWeek([Start Date])+DaysBetween([Start Date];[End Date])) /7 ;0)*2)+1

also check this.

That worked!

Can you help me understand what is happening in this formula so that I can manipulate it for other reports if needed?

It appears to be counting the weekend days still...

My dates are set like 1/1/2016, etc. There is no mention of Saturday or Sunday in the data

[amitrathi239]

use this formula.

=DaysBetween([Start Date] Where (Not(DayName([Start Date]) InList("Saturday";"Sunday")));[End Date] Where (Not(DayName([End Date]) InList("Saturday";"Sunday"))))
