Adding Business Days to a Date to create New Date

I am looking to add a formula to auto calculate a new date, but only want to count business Days.
Currently I am using formula to calculate how many days need to be added:
//ODD Priority Business Days
If left ({DEFECT.PRIORITY}, 1)= "1" then 10
else
If left ({DEFECT.PRIORITY}, 1)= "2" then 20
else
If left ({DEFECT.PRIORITY}, 1)= "3" then 50
else
If left ({DEFECT.PRIORITY}, 1)= "0" then 10
Now I need to create a formula to add these numbers to the date field, for conversation purposes, I need to add these business days to my "start date" to equil my "ODD date".
Example, if my "start date" is 1/1/2009 and it is a Priority 2, then I need to add 20 business days to that, so the "ODD date" would be: 1/29/2009.
Please help.

Thank you Garrett Fitzgerald! Please see the modified formula which I meant
{Startdate}
    + {@BusinessDays}
    - DateDiff("ww", {Startdate}, {Startdate} + {@BusinessDays}, crSaturday)
    - DateDiff("ww", {Startdate}, {Startdate} + {@BusinessDays}, crSunday)

Adding Business Days to a Date

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to add a certain number of working days to a date,what I am hoping to get is a date excluding the weekends
For example:
If i was to add 12 working days to 01/05/2009 i should get 19/05/2009
Thank You
MT

Mistook 01/05/2009 as Jan 5th and was wondering why your statements contradicted. I see you mean May 1st.
Try a formula such as this:
numbervar i := 1;
datevar c := date(#05/01/2009#);
numbervar z := 12;
datetimevar k := date(0,0,0);
while i <= z do
k := dateadd('d',i,c);
(if dayofweek(k) in [1, 7] then
(z := z + 1;)
k := date(0,0,0);
i := i +1;
dateadd('d',z,c);
where 'C' is the starting date and 'Z' is the number of working days.

Calculating Business Days in a Date Range

I have two questions:
1. Does anyone know a better formula for calculating business days in totals?
I am currently using the formula in https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/701a52c3-6b1e-2b10-21b3-a6e101be1a0f
I tailored to my needs. However, there are still a lot of manual maintenance every year.
2. I have many reports that need the formula. It is very consuming to update the formula in each report. Does anyone know a better way to do it?
I use Crystal XI. 11.0.0.895. We do have a Crystal Enterprise server hosted in another department.

Not sure if this is any simpler but you could save this as a custom function, that way you will have to modify it once a year for the holidays.
numbervar days;
datevar date1 := minimum({?My Parameter});
datevar date2 := maximum({?My Parameter});
days := DateDiff ("d", date1, date2) -
DateDiff ("ww", date1, date2, crSaturday) -
DateDiff ("ww", date1, date2, crSunday); // this will give you the number of business days
// (excluding Saturdays and Sundays) for a given date range.
// then, for each holiday, you can enter lines like this
if date(2008,01,01) in {?My Parameter} then days := days - 1;
// The final tally of DAYS should give you the total business days in a date range.
totext(days,0);
where {?My Parameter} is the date range.

Calculate business day between two dates

Hi Guys
I need the count of business days between two dates
Date1, Date2 i need the count only business day (exclude sartuday&sunday)
If date1 is null or nothing i need to pass 0
If date2 is null or nothing i need to pass 0
help on this

Hi,
To achive this within SSRS, go to the report code window and add the below
Function getBusinessDaysCount(ByVal tFrom As Date, ByVal tTo As Date) As Integer
Dim tCount As Integer
Dim tProcessDate As Date = tFrom
For x as Integer= 1 To DateDiff(DateInterval.Day, tFrom, tTo) + 1
If Not (tProcessDate.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Saturday Or tProcessDate.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Sunday) Then
tCount = tCount + 1
End If
tProcessDate = DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, 1, tProcessDate)
Next
Return tCount
End Function
In the textbox where you need to display the value, add the below expression
=Code.getBusinessDaysCount(parameters!StartDate.Value,parameters!EndDate.Value)
It is assumed the you want to pass the two days from parameters named Startdate and EndDate. If not, modify the expression with required values.

Adding Business Days to a formula

All-
The formula below is adding a certain number of days to a call date based on dialer result code, but I want to be able to exclude Saturdays and Sundays.... And if it's not too much trouble holidays when adding the days.
My formula is called @Workdate:
If {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.IVRDISPID}=106 then {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}+3
else
if {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.IVRDISPID}=105 then {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}+3
else
if {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.IVRDISPID}=90 then {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}+2
else
if {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.IVRDISPID}=91 then {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}+3
Else
if {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.IVRDISPID}=92 then {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}+2
I would appreciate any help you can offer!
Thanks!
James

Lets name the existing formula like this
@DateCalculated:
If {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.IVRDISPID} in [106,105,91] then ({DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}+3
    - DateDiff("ww", {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}, {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}+3, crSaturday)
    - DateDiff("ww", {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}, {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}+3, crSunday))
else
if {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.IVRDISPID} in [90,92] then ({DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}+2
    - DateDiff("ww", {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}, {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}+2, crSaturday)
    - DateDiff("ww", {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}, {DIALER_IVRCALLDETAIL.CALLSTARTDT}+2, crSunday))
Now create new formula like this
if weekday(@DateCalculated)=7 then
(@DateCalculated)+2
else if weekday(@DateCalculated)=1 then
(@DateCalculated)+1
else
(@DateCalculated)
place this in the report which gives the expected date.

Adding 1 day to a date in BPEL

Hi,
Im trying to add 1 day to a date in a BPEL proces. I saw that there was a xp20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime so I tried using this in several ways. I didnt expect the input variable to be a string. I tried converting my date to a string and adding 1 day like this:
xp20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime(xp20:format-dateTime(string(bpws:getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/ns1:GereedMeldenRoosterRequest/StartDatum')), 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 'P1D')
But the variables which I try to fill stays empty. The element which I try to fill is of type dateTime. Is this maybe the error that add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime returns a string and it cannot cast it to dateTime?
Can anyone tell me how to solve this properly?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I refactored my expression to look like this:
xp20:format-dateTime(xp20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime(bpws:getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/ns1:GereedMeldenRoosterRequest/StartDatum'), 'P1D'), '[Y]-[M]-[D]')
But the I receive an error: XMLElement cannot be cast to java.lang.String
Then I tried:
xp20:format-dateTime(string(xp20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime(bpws:getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/ns1:GereedMeldenRoosterRequest/StartDatum')), 'P1D'), '[Y]-[M]-[D]')
Because xp20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime needs a String as input and I dont know how getVariableData returned it but with this I get the error:Parse Error in string function
Any ideas?

Adding 30 days to a date in a dynamic LC form

Hello-
I'm working on a dymnamica form that is merged with XML data. In the XML, I get a FirstQuoteDate and bind it to the corresponding field in the form. I then have to calculate the ValidDate by adding 30 days to the FirstQuoteDate and display that date int he Valid Date field.
I've tried several scripts with no luck. Below is the latest script I tried. I also tried the script in several different events. I believe it is the calculate event for the ValidDate field right now. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
var QuoteDt = Date2Num(PROPOSAL.Page2Summary.FirstQuoteDate.rawValue, "MM/DD/YY")
var FutureDt = QuoteDt+30
var ValidDt = Num2Date(FutureDt, "MM/DD/YY")
PROPOSAL.Page2Summary.ValidDate.rawValue = ValidDt

What event should I be putting this script in? Am I thinking I can't put it in the Change event because the date isn't being entered through the form so the field never actually changes? Do I have to use a different event? The FirstQuoteDate and ValidDates are actually floating text fields in my form. I did find that example out there from a different discussion and have tried this script in the initialize event of the First QuoteDate field and it didn't work for me.
ValidDate.rawValue = Num2Date(Date2Num(xfa.event.newText, "M/D/YYYY")+30,"MM/DD/YYYY");

Subtracting/adding Business days

Hi everyone !
I have a calendar question: I have a date, number of days (either business or calendar) and Before/After indicator.
I need to calculate the future/past date depending on business/calendar nn days.
Ideally, I will also read Holidays table to fix the result with Holidays.
Any suggestions ?
CF allows me to know a weekday, add/subtract units from dates, compare dates, but nothing in the direction I mentioned...
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated !
Gary.

Make it very easy on yourself: set up a database table with date as the primary-key, then fill it with 200 years' worth of dates. ("When you run out, dig me up and I'll fix it then ...") You can put any sort of information you want to in there, such as (for example...) a "business-day number" that's used only to calculate these differences. It can literally be anything-and-everything you need to know about dates at your place of business.
When you do this, not only are "complicated calculations" eliminated at-a-stroke, but you can very easily change anything at will. You're simply using an inner-join and ... voila ... the answer is there.
Although setting up a script (in whatever language) to populate the table is a bit tedious, you only need to do it once. To me, it beats every other approach hands-down.

Unable to find Business Rules in the JDeveloper while creating new project

Hi All,
I am going through the chapter 9 Creating a Rule-enabled Non-SOA Java EE Application for JDevloper 11g. I am following the instruction given in the chapter.
However I am unable to find a Business Rules category for creating a Business rules directory.
Probably it has to be activated from somewhere.
I tried searching its significance with JDev installation but haven't got anything.
It seems very basic level problem, however...Please let me know if anybody knows how to solve it
Thanks,
Makarand.

Did you install the SOA extension for JDeveloper from the help->check for updates?

Add number of business days to date field

Hello, I noticed that there is not much discussion in the forum surrounding u201Cbusiness daysu201D so I hope this post/discussion/solution contributes to the content of this forum.
I am using the following 3 formulas to try to Add number of business days (based upon a table field) to a specified date:
1. Variable name = SetVar
//Set Variable for Add Business Days:
DateVar Array Holidays;
DateVar Target:= CDate({TMS_MOVEMENT_EVT.EVT_DATE}); // Put your field name in here
NumberVar Add:= {DTCI_DOD_TRANS.TRANS}; // put the number of days here to add (a positive number)
NumberVar Added := (0);
2. Variable name = AddBizDays
//Adding Business Days:
EvaluateAfter({@SetVar});
WHILE Added < Add
Do (target := target +1;
    if dayofweek (target) in 2 to 6 and not (target in holidays)
        then Added:=Added+1
        else Added:=Added);
Target
3. Variable name = HOLIDAYS
//Holiday Array Formula for the report Header:
BeforeReadingRecords;
DateVar Array Holidays := [
Date (2003,12,25),   // you can put in as many lines for holidays as you want.
Date (2003,12,31)
0
I am successfully getting my data needed to make the necessary calculations and variable assignmentsu2026 I believe that my ISSUE is that I am not sure where to place these formulas into my report so they assign the variables and execute properly when previewing my report. I am curious if that is my issue, and if so, can someone provide me direction on where to put each of these formulas in my report.
Currently, when I try to preview the report, I get the following Crystal Reports Error: -u201CA number, currency amount, Boolean, date, time, date-time, or string is expected here.u201D
Then Crystal automatically opens the AddBizDays formula and highlights the word added, see below RE: u201CWHILE Addedu201D
For reference, my report has 3 groups, and I am displaying all of my output information (and locating my formulas) in the group footer #3 report section. I have moved them around to other report sections/groups/placements, but to no success.
Thanks so much.
Best, Matt

I worked this out... FYI - for the benefit of all forum users:
ADDING BUSINESS DAYS TO A CERTAIN DATE (excluding weekends and holidays)
1. Variable name = AddBizDays
//Adding Business Days:
WhileReadingRecords;
DateVar Array Holidays;
DateVar Target:= CDate(); // Put your field name in here
NumberVar Add:= ; // put the number of days here to add (a positive number)
NumberVar Added := (0);
WHILE Added < Add
Do (target := target +1;
    if dayofweek (target) in 2 to 6 and not (target in holidays)
        then Added:=Added+1
        else Added:=Added);
Target
2. Variable name = HOLIDAYS
//Holiday Array Formula for the report Header:
BeforeReadingRecords;
DateVar Array Holidays := [
Date (2003,12,25), // you can put in as many lines for holidays as you want.
Date (2003,12,31)
0
...too bad i don't get forum points for sharing this solution.

Subtract business days from date - calculated column

Hello,
I had a calculated column on a library that took two dates and found the difference between them in business days, but I am not sure how to subtract business days from a date...for instance I get a start date from a form and I need to
subtract 10 business days from that date.
Can anyone help?

I've always resorted to Javascript/JQuery for that kind of function. I found an old fashioned loop worked the best for me - it supports going forward or backwards. I key it off of a change in a starting date, or sometimes a status change. My actual production
code takes into account another list where we remove holidays and non-work days.
newDate = getNextDate(newDate, -3);
$("input[title='Date Due']").val((newDate.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + newDate.getDate() + "/" + newDate.getFullYear());
function getNextDate(currentDate, offset) {
// offset is business days
var wkend = 0;
var index = Math.abs(offset); // need positive number for looping
var neg = true;
if(offset >= 0) { neg = false; }
var curDOW = currentDate.getDay();
var nextDate = new Date(currentDate);
for(var i=1; i <= index; i++) {
nextDate.setDate(nextDate.getDate() + (neg ? -1: 1));
var nextDOW = nextDate.getDay();
if(nextDOW == 0) {nextDate.setDate(nextDate.getDate() + (neg ? -2: 1));} // Sunday
if(nextDOW == 6) {nextDate.setDate(nextDate.getDate() + (neg ? -1: 2)); } // Sat
// alert("offset is " + offset + "start: " + currentDate + ", next date is " + nextDate);
return nextDate;

Fucntion to Calculate business days (exclude weekends & holidays) between two days

Hello,
I need to be able to calculate business days between two dates excluding weekends and holidays. I do have a date dimension and also flags which denote weekday, holiday. Would really appreciate help in building a udf for the business days calculation.
Thanks,

Hi, Please take a look and tweak accordingly. Best of luck.
--Assuming data dimension table something like the following
--tblDateDim (DT date primary key,
flagHoliday bit,
flagWeekday bit
CREATE FUNCTION fnBusinessDays (
@StartDate DATE,
@EndDate DATE
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Days INT ;
SELECT @Days = count(*)
FROM tblDateDim --// date dimension
WHERE
( DT BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate) --// dt is date column in the table.
AND --// also flags which denote weekday, holiday
flagHoliday = 0 --// flagHoliday= 1--Holiday;= 0 --workingday/businessday
AND
flagWeekday = 1 --// FlagWeekday = 1--businessday ; =0 --weekend (Saturday and Sunday)
