I am using this code to calculate the difference between two dates ignoring weekends:
SELECT To_date(SYSDATE) -
To_date('01.07.2014', 'DD.MM.YYYY')
- 2 * ( TRUNC(Next_day(To_date(SYSDATE) - 1, 'FRI'))
- TRUNC( Next_day(To_date('01.07.2014' , 'DD.MM.YYYY')
- 1, 'FRI')) ) / 7 AS DAYS_BETWEEN
FROM dual
I have another table called table1 in which the column "date" exists (its type is "DATE") in which all dates where a holiday is are written down.
Example table 1:
DATES
12.06.2011
19.06.2014
09.05.2013
...
I am trying to make my code check this table and that if one date is between the two dates above it makes -1 day in the output.
It should be easy if you divide it into following tasks:
- Generate all the dates between the two given dates using Row Generator method as shown here.
- Ignore the dates which are weekend, i.e. Saturdays and Sundays
- Check whether the dates in the range are having any match in the holiday table.
The following row generator query will give you the total count of weekdays, i.e. not including Saturdays and Sundays:
SQL> WITH dates AS
2 (SELECT to_date('01/01/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY') date1,
3 to_date('31/12/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY') date2
4 FROM dual
5 )
6 SELECT SUM(weekday) weekday_count
7 FROM
8 (SELECT
9 CASE
10 WHEN TO_CHAR(date1+LEVEL-1, 'DY','NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN')
11 NOT IN ('SAT', 'SUN')
12 THEN 1
13 ELSE 0
14 END weekday
15 FROM dates
16 CONNECT BY LEVEL <= date2-date1+1
17 )
18 /
WEEKDAY_COUNT
-------------
261
SQL>
Now, based on above row generator query, let's see a test case.
The following query will calculate the count of working days between 1st Jan 2014 and 31st Dec 2014 excluding the holidays as mentioned in the table.
The WITH clause is only to use it as tables, in your case you can simply use your holiday table.
SQL> WITH dates
2 AS (SELECT To_date('01/01/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY') date1,
3 To_date('31/12/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY') date2
4 FROM dual),
5 holidays
6 AS (SELECT To_date('12.06.2011', 'DD.MM.YYYY') holiday FROM dual UNION ALL
7 SELECT To_date('19.06.2014', 'DD.MM.YYYY') holiday FROM dual UNION ALL
8 SELECT To_date('09.05.2013', 'DD.MM.YYYY') holiday FROM dual),
9 count_of_weekdays
10 AS (SELECT SUM(weekday) weekday_count
11 FROM (SELECT CASE
12 WHEN To_char(date1 + LEVEL - 1, 'DY',
13 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN')
14 NOT IN (
15 'SAT',
16 'SUN' ) THEN 1
17 ELSE 0
18 END weekday
19 FROM dates
20 CONNECT BY LEVEL <= date2 - date1 + 1)),
21 count_of_holidays
22 AS (SELECT Count(*) holiday_count
23 FROM holidays
24 WHERE holiday NOT BETWEEN To_date('01/01/2015', 'DD/MM/YYYY') AND
25 To_date('31/03/2015', 'DD/MM/YYYY'))
26 SELECT weekday_count - holiday_count as working_day_count
27 FROM count_of_weekdays,
28 count_of_holidays
29 /
WORKING_DAY_COUNT
-----------------
258
SQL>
There were total 261 weekdays, out of which there were 3 holidays in holiday table. So, total count of working days in the output is 261 - 3 = 258
.
SELECT To_date(sysdate)- To_date('01.07.2014','DD.MM.YYYY')
- (2 * (to_char(To_date(sysdate), 'WW') - to_char(To_date('01.07.2014','DD.MM.YYYY'), 'WW'))) AS DAYS_BETWEEN
FROM dual
