Add days to date and exclude weekends

[abieba]

Hello Guys,

I want to add a number of days to a date and place the result in another date field.

Default property of EndDateValue

StartDateValue + NoAnnual and exclude weekends

StartDateValue is a date field
EndDateValue is a date field

NoAnnual is a datacard format Number field

Please help!

You will want to consider using the DATEADD function for this.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-dateadd-datediff

Example Usage

DateAdd(Now(), 3, Days)

DateAdd(DataCardValue.SelectedDate, 3, Days)

Perhaps you could put the result of this function in another DatePicker input and use the previous formula I supplied to make the calculation. https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-PowerApps-Formerly/exclude-weekeneds-in-date-calculatio...

Hi @abieba ,

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Do you want to add days to the start date with exclude weekends, then put the result into another date time filed?

I have made a test on my side, I think the Timer control could achieve your needs, please take a try with the following workaround:

Add a Timer control within your app, set the Duration property to following:

1000

set the Repeat property and AutoStart property to following:

true

set the OnTimerEnd property of the Timer control to following:

Clear(BaseDateRange);
ForAll(
       FirstN([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20], Value(TextInput1.Text)),
       Collect(BaseDateRange, {RowIndex: CountRows(BaseDateRange) + 1, Date: DateAdd(StartDate.SelectedDate, Value)})
);
UpdateIf(BaseDateRange, Weekday(Date)=1||Weekday(Date)=7, {Date: Blank()});
Set(BlankDate, CountIf(BaseDateRange, IsBlank(Date)));
ForAll(
      RenameColumns(BaseDateRange, "RowIndex", "RowIndex1"),
      Patch(
                BaseDateRange,
                LookUp(BaseDateRange, RowIndex = RowIndex1),
                {
                    Date: DateAdd(StartDate.SelectedDate, RowIndex1 + BlankDate)
                }
            )
)

on your side, you may type:

Clear(BaseDateRange);
ForAll(
       FirstN([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20], Value(NoAnnualDataCardValue.Text)), /* <-- NoAnnualDataCardValue represents the Text Input box , where you enter the Days to add to the Start date */
       Collect(BaseDateRange, {RowIndex: CountRows(BaseDateRange) + 1, Date: DateAdd(StartDate.SelectedDate, Value)})
);
UpdateIf(BaseDateRange, Weekday(Date)=1||Weekday(Date)=7, {Date: Blank()});
Set(BlankDate, CountIf(BaseDateRange, IsBlank(Date)));
ForAll(
      RenameColumns(BaseDateRange, "RowIndex", "RowIndex1"),
      Patch(
                BaseDateRange,
                LookUp(BaseDateRange, RowIndex = RowIndex1),
                {
                    Date: DateAdd(StartDate.SelectedDate, RowIndex1 + BlankDate)
                }
            )
)

Set the Visible property of the Timer to following:

false     /* <-- Hide the Timer control in your app */

Set the DefaultDate property of the End Date Picker to following:

Last(BaseDateRange).Date

Please consider take a try with above solution, then check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,
