DateDiff in business/working days

Posted on by sammyh922

Hello,

 

I am trying to work out the difference between 2 dates but skipping by weekend days. I can use 

div(sub(ticks(outputs('FirstDueDate')),ticks(outputs('FirstDayOfHolidays'))),864000000000) but this doesn't skip by weekend days.
 
Thanks

    Hi!

    One possible trick is to use dayOfWeek() to identify both saturdays and sundays; and a Do Until with a counter.

    Please have a look to this other topic, so hopefully you can adapt it to your needs

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Calculating-Business-days-using-flows/td-p/315402

    If so, please remember you will probably need to Change Do Until Limits, by default the max nr of loops is 60

    Hope this helps
