Week Start and End on specific days/dates

So I have a large set of data for the year.  It tracks items completed each day.  However, weeks aren't calculated by calendar weeks.  We have a Thursday to Wednesday week.  So, I am trying to create a Week Beginning and Week Ending for every item completed.

 

Example

 

Completed DateWeek BeginningWeek Ending
7/1/20196/27/20197/3/2019
7/9/20197/4/20197/10/2019
7/12/20197/11/20197/18/2019
7/22/20197/18/20197/25/2019

 

Was wondering if anyone has an formulas or easier way to get these dates from the Completed Date.

 

Thanks.

Hi @MadeInHB

 

One possible solution would be to calculate the day of the week, and then add and subtract days accordingly. I have done this in the attached workflow.

 

However, I couldn't help but notice for completed dates 7/1/2019 and 7/9/2019 the week endings are a Wednesday - whereas for completed dates 7/12/2019 and 7/22/2019 the week endings are Thursdays. Is there more information to compute these Week Endings?

I used the solution above from the Inactive User. To adjust for week beginning on Sunday just delete the adjust start date and it works perfect
