Dear community,
I have a Sharepoint list with two dates (created and date of execution). I know how to calculate the remaining business days between those two dates. However, I need two additional dates in between these two dates, where a flow is triggered to send out approvals for the entries to a specific person. one of the date is three business days prior to execution, the other one 36 business hrs prior to execution.
Example: If the date of execution is on Monday evening (16:00 or 4 pm), I can only calculate a date 3 days prior to that date, which would be Friday 4pm, to send out an approval to a manager. However, the manager will most likely not be in the office then anymore, and also not check the approval on the weekend. Thus, I would need this approval to be send 3 business days in advance (excluding the weekends) > Wednesday evening.
> The same problem applies to the 36 business hrs prior to the execution date.
Find attached a screenshot of the list with the columns: date of creation, planned execution, remaining business days (calculated on the prior two columns) and the two important columns that are "send approval date" (this should be 3 business days in advance but is currently just 3 days in advance including weekends) and "Date for change to EC" (this should be 36 business hrs in advance but is currently 1 day in advance including weekends)
Any help or ideas on that matter?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best

Can you help me out with this formula?
Calculate Due date, Excluding weekends based on days for priority
Hi @Anonymous ,
You can use the addDays() expression to fast forward a number of days. For example, addDays(utcNow(),3) will add 3 days from today
You can also refer to this blog to use dayofWeek to get an integer of the day of the week by passing in the result of addDays(). If it is a weekend, you can keep adding days.
This won't account for public holidays though.
