Formula using two different excel sheets

Hi all,

 

I am looking to create a formula that uses two excel sheets. The excel formula is:

 

=MAX(NETWORKDAYS(J2,P2,Holidays!$A$2:$A$32),0)-1

 

Thanks

The excel formula is as follow:
MAX - get max value
NETWORKDAYS(Start_date, End_Date, holidays)
So from one sheet you are getting the dates and from the second one your are getting the holidays.

In Alteryx your have DateTimeDiff(dt1,dt2,u) 
u is days in your case.

So in your case you will need DateTimeDiff(dt1,dt2,"days")-holidays and also -1

Thank you for the response but I still have some questions as I am a bit novice. Do I want to union the two sheets and then have the formula DateTimeDiff([Name of Column J], [Name of Column P], "days")-[Holiday Column]-1?

The breakdown above helps to visualise the problem. Network Days formulas get a pretty quick response on here rather than a build-out, as it's so common. There are several macros floating around on the community and a lot of questions with answers.

First of all,  its not that quick and simple to do in Alteryx.

 

Step 1: 
use existing solution posted to similar question few years back (you can use any other file/sheet which you want to join as Holiday table

->  then get your NETWORKDAYS

Step 2:

Then you use Formula tool on that,  to write MAX Function

 

Step 3: 

"-1"
