Function

calworkdays( start_datetime, end_datetime, calendar_name )

This returns the actual number of work days between two Date and Times (both inclusive), according to the calendar defined for the system.

Parameters

Keyword	Type	Description
`start_datetime`	Date and Time	The starting Date and Time.
`end_datetime`	Date and Time	The ending Date and Time.
`calendar_name`	Text	This optional parameter accepts the name of a system calendar; otherwise, the default calendar is used.

Returns

Integer

Usage considerations

Passing a calendar name allows you to count working days using an alternate system calendar, if you have multiple calendars configured.

Examples

calworkdays(datetime(2011,12,13,12,0,0),datetime(2011,12,20,12,0,0)) returns 6

If you want to calculate the total number of days in between two dates (including weekends, holidays, and other designated non-working days) you don't need to use this function. Simply subtract date 1 from date 2, as in the following example:

pv!date2-pv!date1
