What is your goal?
I want to build a custom app in Make that calculates business days internally, including weekends, holidays, holiday eves, and selected working weekdays, without using an external server.
What is the problem?
I need internal calculation logic inside the custom app, but I do not have access to Custom IML Functions. Without it, I cannot properly implement the date calculation loop inside the module.
What have you tried so far?
I already created a custom app and started building an action module with input parameters such as start date, work days count, language, working weekdays, and holiday groups. I want to use Hebcal for holiday data, but I need Custom IML Functions enabled so I can perform the business day calculation directly inside the app.
Hey there,
custom functions are only available for Enterprise clients. But I don’t see why you need them here.
Weekends and workdays can be handled with the built in functions easily. And then, depending on your country, you can use something like the OpenHolidays API to get the public holidays.
You can built a subscenario that handles this and call it from any scenario that needs a date calculated.
Welcome to the Make community!
By the way, you can already use my module “Get Next Business Day (with holidays)”.
See My Custom App: save headaches and operation credits with these utility modules:
- Chunk Text
- Chunk Array
- Chunk Words
- Multiple Find & Replace
- Collection to Array/String List
- Execute JavaScript
- Estimate Tokens
- Calculate Difference Between Two Dates
- Get Next Business Day (with holidays)
- List Upcoming Dates of Day of Week
… and more
Hope this helps! If you are still having trouble, please provide more details.
