Is there any ways to calculate working days between two dates in snowflake without creating calendar table, only using "datediff" function
Is there any ways to calculate working days between two dates in snowflake without creating calendar table, only using "datediff" function
Here's an article with a calendar table solution that also includes a UDF to solve this in Snowflake (the business days are hard-coded, so that does require some maintenance, but you don't have to maintain a calendar table at least):
After doing research work on snowflake datediff function, I have found the following conclusions.
By summarizing these two points, I have implemented the logic below.
SELECT
( DATEDIFF(DAY, START_DATE, DATEADD(DAY, 1, END_DATE))
- DATEDIFF(WEEK, START_DATE, DATEADD(DAY, 1, END_DATE))*2
- (CASE WHEN DAYNAME(START_DATE) != 'Sun' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
+ (CASE WHEN DAYNAME(END_DATE) != 'Sat' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
) AS WORKING_DAYS
