Extract day name and position in associated month

ArnabSengupta

Hi All,

 

I have date stamp in my data and I want to extract the  day name and also its position in the same month. For e.g. if my date is 08/28/2020 it should show Friday, 4 (since its the 4th Friday of the month) or 06/20/2020 = Saturday, 3 (since it is the 3rd Saturday of June).

 

I have attached a sample data set to this question and also the desired output.

 

Thank you!

Hello @ArnabSengupta ,

 

We had something similar before not exactly but very close.

Credit to @Greg_Murray  for putting the logic for generating the calendar logic.

 

check the workflow and see if any good.

 

I hope it helps .

Hi,

 

I think this expression should do what you need:

DateTimeFormat([Time],"%A")
+ ", "
+ ToString(CEIL(DateTimeDay([Time])/7))

 

The DateTimeFormat will produce the day of the week name.

The second part will work out which one it is within the month.

 

Quick sample attached.
