11/11/2017

11/12/2017

11/13/2017

11/14/2017

11/15/2017

If I select any date, I need to know which is the next Saturday for that date

how to can i get this?

thanks

You could solve this by set analysis.Assuming your date field is named [Date] and you have a field containing weekday names named [Weekday]. 

Only({<[Date] ={">$(=only([Date])) <= $(=only([Date])+6)"}, [Weekday] = {'Sat'}>}[Date])

Or something like:

=Date(DateField+6-Num(Weekday(DateField)))

Assuming Monday is 1 (i.e. - FirstWeekDay=6)

why cant you try this?

SET FirstWeekDay=6;

 

=WeekEnd(Max(DateField))
