one way is...Gooogle for others....this doesnt auto magically know about your own national holidays / work holidays ....yadda yadda

DECLARE @StartDate DATETIME

DECLARE @EndDate DATETIME

SET @StartDate = '20160501'

SET @EndDate = GETDATE()

SELECT

(DATEDIFF(dd, @StartDate, @EndDate) + 1)

-(DATEDIFF(wk, @StartDate, @EndDate) * 2)

-(CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, @StartDate) = 'Sunday' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)

-(CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, @EndDate) = 'Saturday' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)

Thank you I change it a little but get the same results

SELECT

(DATEDIFF(dd,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, GETDATE()), 0), getdate()) + 1)

-(DATEDIFF(wk, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, GETDATE()), 0), getdate()) * 2)

-(CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, GETDATE()), 0)) = 'Sunday' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)

-(CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Saturday' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)

does that look ok it seems to work fine.

Thanks again

You'll be missing any holidays. To prevent that, you'll need to create a calendar table or at least a holidays table.

I normally use the Dim_Date table from the Data Warehouse for things like this. Check, you might already have a good starting point.
