Weekday or weekend?

When analyzing consumer activity, it's common to compare weekends and weekdays. However, our data doesn't provide a field to directly classify the data this way. We can easily use the Start Time, which is a time stamp generated by the docks, and the Tableau DATEPART() function to identify if the day contained in the Start Time is a Sunday or Saturday. When DATEPART() is asked to consider the 'day' part of the time stamp, it will return a numeric value. Using IF/THEN/ELSE logic structure, we'll be looking for 1 for Sunday or 7 for Saturday.
