Calculating The Number Of Days Between Dates

Hi Brian
I trust that you are well? I am trying to calculate the number of days between two dates (inclusive). I have used @age and this works fine. However is there a way to exclude Saturday and Sunday from the calculation? Also I need to exclude certain public holidays as well. Is this possible through a custom script or function? I would like to input the public hoilday dates or I can even code them in. I am using IDEA v8.5.
Thank you in advance!

Two Way & Three Way Match

Hi Brian
It has been a while. I downloaded the videos on the credit card fraud using caseware monitor and I was really impressed. I need some help with a custom script again please.
I need to compare multiple databases to determine if data has moved from 1 database to the next. In each of the databases the unique identifier / key is a purchase order number (po number).The comparison is for a typical 5 way match i.e. Purchase Requisition To Purchase Order To Goods Received Note To Invoice To Payment.

Assistance with Time Data

Hi Brian
I am struggling with converting a piece of data. I have attached a spreadsheet with a few records. I am trying to change the data in the Column "Open time" Currently it represents 12:00A. This time is in the morning and I need to convert it to 12:00:00. I am not concerned with the seconds so it can always read 00.
For the data in row 8 i.e. "04:21P" it is in the afternoon and must read 16:21:00. Again the seconds are not important so they will always be 00. Is the there a way to convert in IDEA?
Thank you in advance!

Script Assistance

Hi Brian
I trust that you are well? I have created an IDEA v8.5 script to test the validity of a RSA Identification Number which is 13 digit number basedon a specific algorithm.
My script runs fine, and outputs the correct result. However I keep getting the following error:
Error on line 215 - A valid field name is required.
I have attached the Script File and sum data. Can you maybe check what's wrong with my script please.
Thank you in advance

Script to change dates

Hi Brian
I have another request. I usually work with data that contains numerous dates which are all in character format. I generally use the @cTod and this always works. Recently I have received with data with the date formats as follows:
1 February 2013
2003 February 1
1 Mar 2013
Mar 1, 2013 
Is is possible to write a script that will change any data like above to the format YYYYMMDD.
Thank you

Importing multiple excel worksheets

Hi Brian
I am currently using IDEA 8.5. I have 1000 excel files (.xlsx) each named differently with different sheet names (1 sheet per workbook). I have all these excel files stored in one folder.
I am looking for a script that will allow me to import all at one go as opposed to importing them one by one.
Thank you in advance.

Hi There
I need some assistance to write an IDEAScript to identify all transactions that occur on South African Public holidays. The date of the holiday never changes.

1 January
21 March
29 March
1 April
27 April
1 May
16 June
17 June
9 August
24 September
16 December
25 December
