Find Weekday & Weekend Day Numbers Within Months – Advanced DAX [2023 Update]

Posted on by Annie D

Time intelligence involves analyzing data with a focus on time-related factors. Comparing data from different time periods is an important aspect of time intelligence. “Like-for-like” comparisons involve comparing similar or identical time periods. Standard time intelligence functions do not always make “like-for-like” comparisons possible, so advanced logic and techniques may be necessary to achieve this. In this tutorial, Sam will demonstrate how you can find the weekday and weekend day numbers within months using DAX.
