Count specific a specific number within a separate calendar

Hi Guys,

 

I need help on the following.

So I have a separate calendar

ALL DATES

2024-07-01

2024-07-02
2024-07-03
2024-07-04
2024-07-05
2024-07-08
2024-07-09
2024-07-10
2024-07-11
2024-07-12

 

Separately, I have a start date and number of days.

START DATEDAYS
2024-07-092
2024-07-027

 

i need to count the days from the start date in the separate calendar, so it should be like this

 

START DATEDAYSEND DATE
2024-07-0922024-07-11
2024-07-0272024-07-10

use a formula tool to create the END DATE column with this formula:

DateTimeAdd([START DATE], [DAYS], "days")

START DATE has to be a date type and DAYS has to be an integer type

Join Start Date on All Days -> then use a formula tool with datetimeadd to create End Date?

Hi @dwstada ,

 

The end date has to come from the specific calendar as this one has no weekends. Don't use the normal calendar.

@DanielCarro oh I understand, try this workflow. is it possible that your wanted output is wrong for 2024-07-02? Seven days added to that from your first date list is 2024-07-11

Hi @DanielCarro here is another way to tackle your ask. Essentially you need to combine your calendars together then caculate the end date

Hi @dwstada , @JosephSerpis ,

 

Your findings are correct. My apologies on my previous comment. Both workflows work perfect.

Hi guys,

 

The workflows failed when applied to the other records.
