Hi, I wonder if somone could help? I am trying to use the select expert to select the next coming saturday and sunday only on the report. I have tried a mixture of things but cant get it to work... {date} = today + 1 and {date} = today + 2 which does not work. I cant use an actual date as the report will need to be run every friday to retrieve sat and sun. Any help would be great please.  |

Hi
Hope you found an answer by now but if not,
I have used varying combinations of 'day of week' and 'current date' to set recurring reports to run on any day of a week but for the same period of days
for example {Date} = CurrentDate - Dayofweek(CurrentDate)
will always give you info for last Saturday
and {Date} = CurrentDate - Dayofweek(CurrentDate)-1 will always give you data for last Friday
regardless of what day of the week you pysically run your report
so {Date} = CurrentDate - Dayofweek(CurrentDate)+6 should give you this coming Saturday

here works a formula to always return a date that happens to be a Thursday. If its sunday thru wednesday the first part of the if statement runs, if its fri or sat, the else part runs. shared Datevar Thur; if Dayofweek(CurrentDate)<=5 then Thur:= CurrentDate - Dayofweek(CurrentDate)+5 else Thur:= CurrentDate - Dayofweek(CurrentDate)+12; //when the date is 1/3/14 then dayofweek is 6. 1/3/14 minus 6+12 same as 1/3/14+6 which is 1/9/14 //when the date is 1/4/14 then dayofweek is 7. 1/4/14 minus 7+12 same as 1/4/14+5 which is 1/9/14 |
