Build in Networkdays Formula Function in Alteryx

[E_Liang]

Hi Alteryx User and Alteryx Dev team,

I saw there are number of posts from the community asking for solution to calculate the NetWorkDays (e.g. similar to the networkdays in excel which to calculate the number of days different between the two days excluding weekend and holidays.)

Although we could build a macro for it, the performance is not ideal, especially when the data set is huge and/or the date range required is far apart from each other because there is currently NO a build-in function in Alteryx.  Alteryx will have to expand the date range by date and check whether each is a weekend or holiday.   It will an excellent idea if a build-in function for Networkdays could be built to minimize this hassle from everyone around the world. 

We are looking forward this idea could be take forward.

Thanks

Eric

Just adding my voice to the benefits of this, I work with a large data set where I need to calculate the date difference for when a recruitment process has been on hold for (difference in workdays between date it went on hold and the date it has been taken off hold). It would be amazing to see this tool as this is a business reporting requirement for KPIs.

Any update on it's progress?

Hi,

I want to have this macro implemented even if it the performance would be slow.

Kind Regards,

Hi,

it would be great to have a function like NetWorkDays in Alteryx. Hopefully it will be considered for a future release.
