I need to know what is the date 5 previous business days from current day, including holidays

TripleZ · 2023-11-06T18:37:23+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

The domo data set for calendar has columns for isHoliday and is workday, but how do I find the 5th previous day from a given date that contains 5 business days. For example, if the date is 11/28/2022 it should return a date of 11/18/2022 because there is 1 holiday (11/24) and two weekends(total of 5 non working days).

Thanks,

Mike

You could do this in Magic ETL. Use the domo calendar dataset, filter out all non-work days, and then use a lag function to retrieve the value 5 rows back. This would give you the date you are looking for.

Depending on what you need, ETL is most likely the way to go. Otherwise, if what you need is a list of the last N workable days, you can do that with just a table, filters and limiting the number of rows.

ETL is 100% the way to go, and you can use the Domo Date Dimension if you don't have a custom calendar.

If you mean to use a function called Lag in a Formula tile, I don't see that function as an option. I assume I have misunderstood.
