Select working days from interval selection

Question

Hi
I have a requirement to create a report that shows Backorder Value Status for each working day. In our cube we mapped 0CALDAY to sy-datum which keeps the Backorder Data for each load. Data would look like this:
Cal Day   BO$
01/01/08 $200
01/02/08 $500
01/03/08 $100
The report should show the BO value for each day (not a problem) and calculate an average (not a problem either).
The problem is that customer would like to select the range of calendar days (let's say 01/01/08 - 01/03/08) and would like the report to eliminate all non-working days and bring back only BO value for working days:
Cal Day  BO$
01/02/08 $500
01/03/08 $100
I've tried to create Exit Variable -but I read that if variable has selected "ready to input" box in the variable option (which allows the customer to select the range) - it will not look at the code. In the Debbuger the code worked fine - but the report still pulled all calendar days.
Anyone have any other idea how to handle this?
Thank you

Hi Justyna,
I'll just hint you some simple processes, which you can try other than exits.
1)If you are reporting only for a particular month data in the reporting use User entry/Default value variable with multiple values entry and select only working days of that month.
2) If you want to use the report year wise then just restrict the 0CALDAY and exclude all the non working days (holidays) for one year.So that Holidays are restricted from the report.
3) Last thing is in the process chain itself while defining the variant select the factory calender and exclude all the holidays.
Assign some points if this is useful.
Warm Regards,
