Calculate total number of days between today and [Date in Pipeline] excluding weekends.

Hello! I need help on this.

Calculate total number of days between Today and [Date in Pipeline] excluding weekends. 

I have the below formula, but I get an error message saying "Expecting text/datetime/workdate but found date"

WeekdaySub (Today(),ToDate([Date in Pipeline]))

    Is your formula field a numeric data type? I believe WeekDaySub yields a numeric value.

      I have a Duration field type. I also have this formula Today() - [Date in Pipeline] but it doesn't exclude weekends. _

      See Chris's comment below. If the [Date in Pipeline] is just a date type field already, you do not have to try to make it a date field again.

      try this

      WeekDaySub (Today(),[Date in Pipeline])

      Hello!

      I tried that formula but it gave me an error saying "Expecting duration"

    You may have also wrapped ToDATE() around a regular date field. You don't need to do that.
