Today Date and Week Days

[goro2010]

Good Day,

I want to do the following in a loader script.

If "Today" (16-05-2017) = Weekday (Tuesday) then populate Tuesday Weekday with 16-05-2017

If "Today" (16-05-2017) = Weekday (Tuesday) then populate Wednesday Weekday with 17-05-2017

If "Today" (16-05-2017) = Weekday (Tuesday) then populate Thursday Weekday with 18-05-2017

If "Today" (16-05-2017) = Weekday (Tuesday) then populate Friday Weekday with 19-05-2017

If "Today" (16-05-2017) = Weekday (Tuesday) then populate Monday Weekday with 22-05-2017

Will this be possible?

Thank You

This is how I need the outcome:

can you explain a little about what your calculation means? Once I understand it I can give you the correct syntax

Thanks

Hi Jan,

May be like this

If (Num(WeekDay(Today()))= 2, Date(Today()),

If (Num(WeekDay(Today()))= 3, Date(Today()+1),

If (Num(WeekDay(Today()))= 4, Date(Today()+2),

If (Num(WeekDay(Today()))= 5, Date(Today()+3),

If (Num(WeekDay(Today()))= 6, Date(Today()+6)

)))))

Regards,

Andrey

This is subject to the beginning of the week on Sunday - 0, Tuesday - 2, Wednesday - 3, etc.

=if(WeekDay(Today())='Mon', date(today()),

  if(WeekDay(Today())='Tue', date(today()),

  if(WeekDay(Today())='Wed', date(today()),

  if(WeekDay(Today())='Thu', date(today()),

  if(WeekDay(Today())='Fri', date(today())

))))) as date

=if(WeekDay(Today())='Mon', 'Monday',

  if(WeekDay(Today())='Tue', 'Tuesday',

  if(WeekDay(Today())='Wed', 'Wednesday',

  if(WeekDay(Today())='Thu', 'Thursday',

  if(WeekDay(Today())='Fri', 'Friday'

))))) as Weekday

This will look at the day and see if it is monday then give you todays date and also give you the Day name.

You will do a nested if statement for the all the days.

Could be pretty simple with a calculation, weekday deduction from this calculation and a table that reduces the number of rows to five (working days).

But we need to know how you plan to list your customers. I guess it's not ok that Cust1 is at the front of your table again tomorrow???

Sibusiso,

I have used your and Andrey Khoronenko methodologies combined to make my own working script!! - Thank you all for the input!

For those who want to do a similar exercise, please find the script below:

"Data":

      if([Calling Day] = 'Friday' ,if(WeekDay(Today())='Wed', date(today()+2)),
