Examples
The following example returns a difference in workhours from the Issue created date until resolution if non-working days are Friday and Saturday and working hours are defined from 9 am to 5 pm (incl). That means if the event happened at 5:59 pm it would still be included.
DateDiffWorkhours(
[Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember.get('Created at'),
[Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember.get('Resolved at'),
'56',
'9-17'
)
The next example will use the default holiday scheme defined for the Time dimension options to calculate the difference in workhours from the Issue created date until resolution and working hours are defined from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm
DateDiffWorkhours(
[Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember.get('Created at'),
[Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember.get('Resolved at'),
'default',
'8:30-17:30'
)
