Hi all,

 

I feel this is easier than i'm thinking it is but I just cant get my head around it. essentially I have a list of dates like so in a column and what I need to is essentially dynamically filter these dates to the current week only rather than having to do is manually every week.

You can either use %W or %U depending on when the week starts: DateTime Functions (alteryx.com)! This workflow works.

@Deano478 can you try 

 

DateTimeFormat([TheDate],'%W') = DateTimeFormat(DateTimeToday(),'%W')
AND
DateTimeFormat([TheDate],'%Y') = DateTimeFormat(DateTimeToday(),'%Y')

Het @binuacs  and @alexnajm I know we fixed the initial query yesterday but im also wondering how could I filter from the previous Saturday to the Friday of this current week?

Since we are calculating numbers, you can convert ToNumber and minus 1 to get the previous weeks' week number

Hey @alexnajm I'll be honest I dont fully understand your logic here is the filter I'm currently using to get just Monday to Friday of the current week:

 

(DateTimeFormat([TheDate],'%a') != 'Sat' && DateTimeFormat([TheDate],'%a') != 'Sun') && DateTimeFormat([TheDate],'%U') = DateTimeFormat(DateTimeNow(),'%U')

Then I am not sure you can keep the previous Saturday since you are excluding all Saturdays in this logic... can you clarify exactly what you need? And give an example?

Realistically I've 2 filters one that will just capture Monday to Friday like so:

(DateTimeFormat([TheDate],'%a') != 'Sat' && DateTimeFormat([TheDate],'%a') != 'Sun') && DateTimeFormat([TheDate],'%U') = DateTimeFormat(DateTimeNow(),'%U')

 

and another filter like so that going from Monday to Sunday of the current week like so:

DateTimeFormat([TheDate],'%W') = DateTimeFormat(DateTimeToday(),'%W')
AND
DateTimeFormat([TheDate],'%Y') = DateTimeFormat(DateTimeToday(),'%Y')

 

So for the second filter above I would get:

2024-04-29
2024-04-30
2024-05-01
2024-05-02
2024-05-03
2024-05-04
2024-05-05

 

What I need to aim get is this which would be last Saturday to this Friday:

2024-04-27

2024-04-28

2024-04-29

2024-04-30

2024-05-01

2024-05-02

2024-05-03

Then what I might look at doing is finding the upcoming Friday using a Formula or a Generate Rows, and then filter the days between that date and 6 days back (aka the previous Saturday)!

 

Otherwise I would look at starting a new thread since this is a new question from the original post - please include sample data and/or a workflow if possible too.
