Forms - can you make formulas on dates?

Trish Dillon

can the sheet have a formula when the form selecting a date - gives a response?

=IFS([@Response]="", " ", OR(WEEKDAY([@Response])={1,7}), "That is a weekend date. Please select a different date.", OR(WEEKDAY([@Response])={2,3,4,5,6}), TEXT([@Response], "dddd"))

where the form entry will prompt a new suggestion?

Hi @Trish Dillon

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• Use a Dashboard and add the form to one side and a sheet or report on the other side showing the available/blocked dates.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,
