Recurrence monthly on 11 Business Day exclude weekends and holidays

Hi guys,

I'm in the middle of building a flow but I'm kinda stuck at the moment. 

I built 2 lists on Sharepoint

 

List 1: Report

  • Report Name
  • Specified Date
  • Next Refresh (this field will be updated by flow)

 

List2: Public Holiday Schedule

  • Holiday
  • Holiday Date

Then I created a flow in List 1 using 'Specified Date' column

This is all I had built in the flow

  1. Recurring
  2. Get-Item from Sharepoint List1
  3. Variable ---> Compose
    • Expression: look for 'Specified Date' column

My question is how do I recur the Specified Date every month on the 11 business days excluding weekends? Suppose the holiday day falls on Dec 16th, I want it to skip 16th and count 17th as 11 business day.

 

I really appreciated your help

    Hi @Stuznet ,

     

    You can use the dayOfWeek() function to determine if the current date is a weekend. Exclude weekends by the returned result. If the returned result is 0 or 6, the current day is the weekend.
