Week selection with different week start date

I needed my week to start on a Saturday and end on a Friday.  Meaning wk31 for me would start on Saturday 26/07/14 and end on Friday 01/08/14. 

To achieve this I have created a listbox with the below expression instead of a field.

=week(WeekStart(Date,0,-2))+1

Not sure if this was the proper way of doing it but it seems to work.

Now I need to create a button which when pressed select the last 12 weeks according to my week format starting on Saturdays and ending Friday's.

I tried the below but this is creating a rolling range day by day. 

='>=$(=date(today()-84))' & '<$(=date(today()))'

I need the range to start from Saturday of 13 weeks ago and end always Friday of last week.  Anyone can help me get this please?

Hi Alex,

In a similar case, I used a new field added to the master calendar in the load script. For each possible date, sorted in ascending order, I added a week personnel identifier value which is incremented for each starting day of week found (Saturday).

The new field can be selected from a button which selects date as possible values ​​of the period of week (Saturday-Friday) or weeks required. The attachment shows an example.

To arrive at the week start date (of Saturday-to-Friday week) for any Date, use the following expression:

Date(WeekStart(Date+2)-2)

Hi,

You may try this

>=date((WeekStart(today(),-13)-2),'DD/MM/YYYY')   <= date(WeekStart(today())-3,'DD/MM/YYYY')
