Try this:

Table1:

LOAD Date,

  WeekEnd(Date+1, 1, 5) as Deadline,

  WeekStart(Date, -2, 4) as StartDate;

LOAD * Inline

Hi Mark,

I suggest to look at the functions WeekStart and WeekEnd - notice the option parameters shift and weekoffset that allow you to move a certain number of weeks up or down, and move the first day of the week.

cheers,

I'm assuming u as a magician my friend.

Can i please know what does

WeekEnd(Date+1, 1, 5)

  WeekStart(Date, -2, 4)   do...

I'm aware of WeekEnd and WeekStart function...

Cna u pls explain the above two lines my friend!

[sunny_talwar]

Like Oleg‌ mentioned below WeekStart and WeekEnd can be shifted + offset by using its 2nd and 3rd parameter, respectively. I just played around with those parameters to get you what you were looking for. No magic at all

weekend ‒ QlikView

weekstart ‒ QlikView

I think I have got the order incorrect above

2nd parameter is WeekOffset

3rd paramter is shift the weekdays
