Thank you Pradeep. What i am needing is that the date range will be in fiscal week : for ex :- fiscal week 201440 ( nov'13 ) till fiscal week 201448 ( dec'13) my question is do i need to list each day?

i am having a calculated function  intck ('weekday',date 1, date2) which is giving the working days between fiscal week 201440 ( 2nd nov'13 ) till fiscal week 201448 ( 3rdJan'14). for the same date range i need to calculate the working days without holidays below.

11Nov2013

22Nov2013

23Nov2013

24Dec2013

25Dec2013

1Jan2014

Here's a SAS function that can do the work.

you need 2 different dates in some form, if you want to compare/find difference between them.

you can loop through the date range between your fiscal weeks( start date to your end date), then you don't have to list each day.
