## Example for Get Business Days Between Dates For Location Step

This step calculates the number of Business Days between the Start and End dates. It will exclude all non-working days and holidays configured for the Location entity.

1. Create a new **Flow**. Refer to [**Create Flows**](/v9/docs/create-flows).
2. From the **Toolbox** tab, navigate to the **DATA** > **DATES** category and drag the **Get Business Days Between Dates for** **Location** step to the designer surface. Connect the **Start** and **End** steps.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-12_12h49_38.png)
