not able to calculate weekends from start date to end date in apex.

Hello Developers!

 

 

I am not able to calculate saturday if date is from friday to monday means 6/1/2012 to 9/1/2012 its total shows 3.

 

 

but if date is from friday to tuesday means 6/1/2012 to 10/1/2012 its total shows 3 its exclude both saturaday & sunday (working fine).

 

so i am not able to understand why is it calculating like that:

 

here are code for that:

 

 

DateTime dateInTheRange;
        
        for(integer j = 0; j< calculatedNoOfDays; j++)
        {
            dateInTheRange = startDate.addDays(j);
            if(dateInTheRange.format('E')=='Sat'| dateInTheRange.format('E')=='Sun')
            {
                calculatedNoOfDays--;
            }              
        }
       

 

Thanks in Advance!

 

Regards,

Ashish

Hi,


I am getting thecorrect value for a month’s using this code. Try the below sample code:
date startDate = date.newInstance(2008, 1, 1);
date dueDate = date.newInstance(2008, 1, 30);
integer numberDaysDue = startDate.daysBetween(dueDate);
integer count=0;

for(integer j = 0; j<= numberDaysDue; j++)
{
datetime dateInTheRange = startDate.addDays(j);
if(!(dateInTheRange.format('E')=='Sat'| dateInTheRange.format('E')=='Sun'))
{
count++;
}
}

system.debug('@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@'+count);

Hi,

 

You can use below code sample as reference:


datetime startdate=system.now();
string st=startdate.format('E');
system.debug('@@@@@@@@@@@@@' +st);
integer count=0;
system.debug('$$$$$$$$$$$' +endate);
for(integer j = 0; j<7; j++)
{
date dateInTheRange = startDate.addDays(j);

if(!(dateInTheRange.format('E')=='Sat'| dateInTheRange.format('E')=='Sun'))
{
count++;
}
}

system.debug('@@@@@@@@@@@@@' +count);

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

Hi,

 

Thanks for responding !

 

I have tried your coding reference its working fine for 1 week leave but if tried to take a leave from more than a week its also counting saturday and sunday!!

 

Means 6/1/2012 to 13/1/2012 = 6 (1 week working fine)

 

Means 6/1/2012 to 15/1/2012 = 8 ( more than a week) expecting value 6 bt showing 8.

 

 just i changes in for loop j<7 and then its working fine for 1 week

 

here are the code which i changes:

 

 DateTime dateInTheRange;
           
        
        for(integer j = 0; j< 7; j++)
        {
            dateInTheRange = startDate.addDays(j);
            if (dateInTheRange.format('E')=='Sat'| dateInTheRange.format('E')=='Sun')
            {
                calculatedNoOfDays--;
            }              
        }
        
        return calculatedNoOfDays;
    }
}

 regards,
