Hi there

You can add the following as a field to your load script.

Date(Floor(Weekend(Now(1),0,0)),'DD/MM/YYYY') AS Date

The date will always be the first Sunday after the data load is triggered. It will be 1/12/2019 for this whole week and change to 8/12/2019 when the data is loaded again after Sunday. You can have a look at different now functions.

Or do you want this date to change automatically when the user opens the app in the next week?

Regards,

Mauritz

Hi Mauritz,

Thank you for the response.

Now my date field is 1/12/2019 and yes, I want this date to change automatically when the user opens the app in the next week.(is this possible when i am using Live data??)

And also i want to add even the Week based on the date filed. Week should start from Monday to Sunday as i want to generate my report on Monday for the upcoming Week i.e That week Monday to Sunday.

Could you please help on this?

Thank you

Regards

Rama

Hi Rama

What is the use case for having this date available dynamically? Also, I am not sure what exactly you want with the week. Is it just the current week number? If so, I suggest that you look at the week and weekname functions.
