The workDays() function returns the number of weekdays (i.e., Monday through Friday) between two dates.
Syntax
workDays(date1, date2, [holidays])
| Argument | Description |
| date1
(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). |
| date2
(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).
This date will be subtracted from the first date argument to produce the result of the function. Note: if either argument in this function resolves to <empty>, the returned value will be <empty>. |
| 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 counting 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”). |
