Is there an equivalent or something like Networkdays from excel in Splunk??
I want to calculate the duration between two dates and exclude from the calculation all the weekends and holidays.

Ex. Startdate = Dec. 30, 2013, Enddate = Jan. 4, 2014
I want to get the duration between above dates. Note that Jan. 1, is holiday and assuming that Jan, 2, 3 would be weekends.

Please Help..

Thanks,

Try this,

search:

| gentimes start=-1 | eval CreateDateEpoch="1412136000" | table CreateDateEpoch | eval start=relative_time(CreateDateEpoch,"@d") | eval end=relative_time(now(),"@d") | eval Date=mvrange(start,end+86400,86400) | convert ctime(Date) timeformat="%+" | eval NoOfBusinessDays=mvcount(mvfilter(NOT match(Date,"(Sun|Sat).*")))

Hi gfuerte,

I am able to create a lookup with all the holidays, but I am not able to filter using the lookup output fields. The "match" expression uses a regex.

For example, I have a new fields from lookup called "Holiday_list". Your idea was something like below??(correct me if I'm wrong)
mvfilter(not match(Date, Holiday_list)), wherein the "Date" will be filtered based on the contents of the "Holiday_list" fields.

Thanks
