How to find out no. of business days in a month using macros.???(excluding weekends and holidays)...

Answer / oanhntt

first of all, identify the last day of month (using this
intnx('month',d,1)-1). after that make a loop through 1 to
end of month, check if day in loop is weekend or not, using
another variable to count this number.
Regarding to the holidays, except some popular holidays which
I suggest using an external file/dataset to track it, use
this file to identify holidays.
