Hi,

For each date, i want to find the saturday date on the same week. But if the date is Sunday then the function have to return the next Saturday.

I use the following code :

saturday = intnx('week.7', date, 1);

This works as long as it is not about the Saturday itself. In this case, it returns the next Saturday. Please help.

How the function should work :

datesaturday
12/01/202215/01/2022
15/01/202215/01/2022
16/01/202222/01/2022

 

Thank you,

Alexey

Hi @AlexeyS,

 

Try this:

saturday=intnx('week', date, 1)-1;

 

Edit:

Or, slightly shorter:

saturday=date+7-weekday(date);
