So I have the business days calculating correctly. Is there anyway to have alteryx look at a list of dates, see if these dates are in the range (Start Date and End Date) and return a 1 if it is and a 0 if it is not?
Example:
Start Date is 2/27/2017
End Date is 3/2/2017
Holiday is 3/1/2017.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Can you supply a file as an example. Not sure exactly what you need from your description.

So right now I have business days calculating. For the example 2/27 - 3/2, it is calculating 3 days. But let's say 3/1 is Holiday. I am looking for a way to have Alteryx see 3/1 as a Holiday and return a 1. Then I can set the formula to do 3-1, to return that it is actually 2 business days and not 3. But I am stuck with the variable holiday dates.

will there be a file with a list of holiday dates ? If so then you can use generate row to create all the dates between the start and end dates, join to the holiday list, filter out weekends and holidays, and then summarize to count the dates.
Search community for "Calculate Business Days Between Dates" for a helpful article.

Join wouldn't create duplicate records, but Append Fields would.

You're right. I was thinking about another situation as I was writing that. Sorry for any confusion!

Hi, how can I return count of holidays from a given date range? I have two columns with Start Date and End Date and multiple rows with different date ranges - I want to know how many holidays fall within each date range - and have it as an additional column?

See if this is what you need. I built it off of what MS's documentation says about NETWORKDAYS.
(Hold on, found a couple of errors.)
