Example

The following exaple determines whether or not the application_date field is a work day.

Let's assume that there's a field named application_date with the following values:

2022-08-10 
2022-08-06 
2022-08-07

When you use these fields and add the following calculations, isWorkDay returns the below values:

isWorkDay({application_date})

The following example filters employees whose employment ends on a work day and determines whether their employment began on work day or a weekend using conditional formatting:

is_start_date_work_day = isWorkDay(employment_start_date)
is_end_date_work_day = isWorkDay(employment_end_date)
