Hi All,
Want to calculate days in a week except Saturday and Sunday in between selected dates.
Suppose i have selected Start date (08/07/2020) and end date (27/07/2020) so the number of days in between is 20 days but leaving Saturday and Sunday its 15 days.
Can any one help with the code for this.
Thank you

It's also worth pointing out that even if work calendar is used, checking open days of the calendar and checking if the day is Mon-Fri are two different things. In the work calendar you might have public holidays and other closed days even on the weekdays.
Hi Siddhant, use calendar will be better. X++ pls reference below link

If you don't use work calendar, you can simply iterate through all the dates and use the dayOfWk(date) function to extract the day of week.
Or, for better performance, check the dayOfWk of the start date and dayOfWk of the end date and figure out how many full weeks there must be in between. I'm not going to write the code for you but it should be quite easy.
Also DateTimeUtil::getDifference can be used to get the difference of two dates.
The logic would be something like this:
- How many weekdays (Mon-Fri) are there from the start date until end of that week?
- How many weekdays (Mon-Fri) are there from the end date until the beginning of that week?
- How many full weeks are in between the two dates? Nr of weeks * 5 is the nr of working days.
Then combine the results of those three calculations.
So, depending on the requirement I would use "dummy iteration" (if the difference between the start and end date is always small) or write a more clever algorithm (if the code needs to handle difference of many years).
Hi Siddhant Singh,
You could use the WorkCalendarSched class.
static void WorkingdaysInPeriod()
{
WorkCalendarSched workCalendarSched;
date start;
date end;
counter workingdays;
counter totaldays;
CalendarId primCalendar="myCalendar";
;
start=str2date("08-07-2020",123);
end= str2Date("27-07-2020",123);
workCalendarSched = new workCalendarSched();
while(start
Hi Siddhant,
If you have work calendar setup on your machine then you can use the below link to get week days.
