Is there a way in Cognos to take two dates
i.e. (Thursday Jan 3,2002 5:30pm to Tuesday Jan 8, 2002 9:30 am)
and extract out the number of hours BUT only adding up the # of business days (mon - Fri)?
For example, using the above dates, the total # of hours would be 4 days, 16 hours (112 hours), but if you remove the weekends (48 hours), you would have 64 hours.
I can't seem to get the functions in Cognos to do what I want. I was thinking of creating two separate calculations, one, I would add up the # of Saturdays, and another the # of Sundays, and then multiply by 24 hrs.
I also have to take into account that the start date or end date may fall on a weekend, and I would not have a full weekend day to subtract from my total.
I hope this isn't too confusing and thanks in advance for any help!
