    + duration("P"+string(x)+"D")
)[day of week(item) = "Tuesday"][1] - now()

Calculate the Duration between Times​

{
  time: time("09:00:00@Europe/Berlin"),
  date: if (time(now()) < time) then today() else today() + duration("P1D"),
  duration: date and time(date, time) - now()
}.duration

Output:

duration("PT18H30M38S")

Calculate the Next Weekday​

Return the next day that is not a weekend at 00:00.

(for x in 1..3 
  return date and time(today(),time("00:00:00Z")) 
    + duration("P"+string(x)+"D")
)[not(day of week(item) in ("Saturday","Sunday"))][1]

  year: string(date.year),
  formatted: day + "-" + month + "-" + year
}.formatted

["2021-04-21T07:25:06.000Z","2021-04-22T07:25:06.000Z"]
