Kevin, now that you seem to have ironed out most of the bugs, will you be able to add the Custom Calendar feature you had in previous version?

Jim,

Custom calendars are still a ways out yet. But, if the report schedule that requires a custom calendar is exported daily, version 7.0.4.0 includes interval 'Excluding Dates' which will export the report once daily on all days except for the listed dates.

Excluding Dates works fine for not running reports, but it does not help compute the parameter date (avoiding holidays and weekends (example Today + 2)

Just thought I would bump this to see if this feature is coming. This one would solve some holiday issues that I might have in the future.

I need some reports to either run on Wednesday or Thursday, depending on whether there is a holiday on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm guessing that this feature would help with that.

Of course, I might be misunderstanding this feature.

This feature will not be included any time soon. It is a huge undertaking to get all of the dynamic parameters to work with offsets based upon a custom calendar. At one point I included an export interval of daily excluding certain dates. This may work for your case if you currently scheduled report is a daily report.

Unfortunately, these reports only run on Wednesday. I'll keep that in mind for any daily reports that I have.

We have a unique situation in that our billing happens on Tuesday night, except on weeks with a Monday or Tuesday holiday. On those weeks, billing happens on Wednesday. Normally, I run reports on Wednesday to capture things from the billing cycle. However, on holiday weeks, the reports need to be run on Thursday.
