Weekends/Holidays

Use this option to control formatting for weekends and holidays. There are two tabs for both sections.

Weekend​

Use the weekend formatting option to customize how weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) are displayed in the date picker.

• The Weekends option change the font size, family, and color.

• You can also choose to show icons on weekend dates. Simply enable the marker and select the icon shape, color, and size.

Holidays​

Holidays are different from weekends as they can occur on any date in the calendar. With Powerviz, you have the flexibility to control how holidays are displayed and highlight important dates or events for your organization.

How to enable holidays?​

Use the below steps to add a custom holiday column.

1. Create a column or measure in your data.

• Use a 0/1 condition, where 1 represents true and 0 represents false.

• This column can be created in your source data, Power Query Editor, Calculated Column, or using DAX formula.

DAX Measure Example

VAR _date = MIN('Date'[Date])

VAR Result = 
        IF(_date = BLANK(), BLANK(), 
            SWITCH(TRUE(),
               _date = DATE(2022, 12, 10), 1,   // 1 for true dates
                _date = DATE(2022, 01, 22), 1,
                0)                              // 0 for false dates
        )
