While the other methods for calculating holidays ect use a table to store the holidays, this inline UDF goes the opposite route, by returning 1 if the given date is a weekday that also does not fall on a number of holidays.

This is an extension of two previous scripts, this one will produce a list of ojects that contain the first parameter and not the second.

We have this code that sets some status values and then queries them using the CHOOSE() function in SQL Server 2025.
CREATE TABLE Status
(
StatusID INT,
StatusDescription VARCHAR(20)
);
GO
INSERT dbo.Status
(
StatusID,
StatusDescription
)
VALUES
(0, 'Uncategorized'),
(1, 'Active'),
(2, 'Inactive'),
(3, 'Temp');
GO
SELECT CHOOSE(StatusID, 'Unknown', 'Active', 'Inactive', 'Temporary')
FROM Status;
When the SELECT runs, what is returned? See possible answers
