addWorkDays()

The addWorkDays() function provides the ability to add or subtract weekdays (i.e., Monday through Friday) from a date.

Syntax

addWorkDays(date, integer, [holidays])

Argument Description
date

(required)

An expression that results in a date value (i.e., a hard-coded date, a reference to a date attribute, or a function that returns a date value).
integer

(required)

The value to add to the date argument.  If the value provided is not an integer, it will be rounded to the nearest integer.
holidays

(optional)

An expression that results in a comma separated list of date values (i.e., hard-coded dates or a reference to an attribute). These dates will be ignored, along with weekends, when adding work days.

Note: If the holidays argument is hard-coded, it should be surrounded in quotation marks (e.g., “2020-12-25, 2021-01-01”).
