Hello ,

 

Can someone help me with the query . 

 

I have this posting date and the query must be : 

 

If the posting date is either of last two weekdays of the month then comment 'A'  otherwise 'B' . 

 

This must be applicable for the complete year and across multiple years. 

 

Any help appreciated . Thanks .

Hi @praneshsapmm 

 

Here is a workflow for the task.

Output:

atcodedog05_0-1603793220894.png

 

Oct - 31 is a weekend and tagged B

 

Categorize Formula:

 

IF DateTimeDiff(DateTimeTrim([Date],"lastofmonth"),[Date],"days") < 2
and DateTimeFormat([Date],"%w") not in ("6","7")
THEN "A" ELSE "B" ENDIF

I would suggest an expression:

left(DateTimeAdd([Date],Switch(DateTimeFormat([Date],"%a"),2,'Thu',4,'Fri',4,'Sat',0,'Sun',0),"days"),7)
!=
left([Date],7)

 

This will move the date forward 2 weekdays (unless on a Saturday and Sunday which it leaves where it is).

If the month changes then was in the last 2 weekdays.

Hi @praneshsapmm 

 

Check my output 

 

Only weekdays and last 2 days of the month has been categorized as A

 

weekday no 6 & 7 are weekends.
