Hi there,

I'm looking for something similar and am stuck on my formula. We have a class ("LCST") that happens throughout the work week (M-F); and we pull a report every Friday with the range of the prior Friday through current week's Thursday. For example, on today 11/08/24, we would run the report for (last Friday) 11/1 - (yesterday, Thursday) 11/7.

So far, I have the formula as:

=IF(OR(Class@row = "DX Traditions", Class@row = "LMTR"), [Start Date]@row + 1, IF(Class@row = "LCST", ([Start Date]@row + 6 - WEEKDAY([Start Date]@row))))

This formula works okay as long as the start date is not a Friday. See the below highlighted in yellow — a Friday date remains the same. Can anyone help incorporate what to do if the start date IS a Friday? How can I get the Aftercare column to reflect the following Friday?

We can throw in a special case just for Fridays:

=IF(OR(Class@row = "DX Traditions", Class@row = "LMTR"), [Start Date]@row + 1, IF(Class@row = "LCST", IF(WEEKDAY([Start Date]@row) = 6, [Start Date]@row + 7, ([Start Date]@row + 6 - WEEKDAY([Start Date]@row)))))
