Formula to Combine Weekend Dates with Monday

BrandonS4

Is it possible to add weekend dates together with a Monday date?  I am trying to combine sales for Saturday and Sunday to sales for Monday.  For example,

 

Saturday, July 4, 2020 + Sunday, July 5, 2020 + Monday, July 6, 2020 would equal Monday, July 6, 2020.

Hi @BrandonS4 I mocked up a workflow let me know what you think. From your question I assumed the date format was "Saturday, July 4, 2020" please let me know if that is not the case?

This still works great.  However, how can I write the formula so the output is two digit month-two digit day-4 digit year??

If DateTimeFormat(DateTimeParse([Date],"%d-%m-%Y"),"%A") ="Sunday" then
DateTimeAdd(DateTimeParse([Date],"%d-%m-%Y"),1,"day") Elseif DateTimeFormat(DateTimeParse([Date],"%d-%m-%Y"),"%A") ="Saturday" Then DateTimeAdd(DateTimeParse([Date],"%d-%m-%Y"),2,"day") Else DateTimeParse([Date],"%d-%m-%Y") Endif
