day_of_week
index( list("Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"), mod(diff_days(date(2008,01,01), ${orders.created_date}) + 1, 7))

trunc_weeks

Weekday / business day count

No function currently available natively, request it here.

Workaround:

diff_days(${start_date}, ${end_date}) + 3 - floor(diff_days(add_days(-1 * (mod(diff_days(date(2008,01,01), add_days(-6, ${start_date})) + 1, 7)), add_days(-6, ${start_date})), add_days(-1 * (mod(diff_days(date(2008,01,01), add_days(2, ${end_date})) + 1, 7)), add_days(2, ${end_date})))/7) - floor(diff_days(add_days(-1 * (mod(diff_days(date(2008,01,01), add_days(-7, ${start_date})) + 1, 7)), add_days(-7, ${start_date})), add_days(-1 * (mod(diff_days(date(2008,01,01), add_days(1, ${end_date})) + 1, 7)), add_days(1, ${end_date})))/7)
