Calendar - Excluding Sundays!

[RyanTech Engineering]

Just wondering, for all you geniuses out there.... I have come across a spreadsheet conversion project to FM12 and in a formula on the spreadsheet they  "Exclude Sundays" as a workday,

 

So, if a job was scheduled (i.e. Calendar drop down) and it fell on a sunday, the script would "Bump it" a day, to never fall on a sundays..... hope that makes sense.....

 

Is this easy to do with FM?

 

Thanks

This calculation will return the original $date if it isn't a Sunday, or the following Monday if $date is a Sunday.

If ( DayOfWeek ( $date ) = 1 ; $date + 1 ; /* Else */ $date )

To apply this to a date field at all times, including imports from your Excel files and user data entry, you could substitute Self for $date and use it as an auto-enter calculation on that field with the "Do not replace existing values" option turned off:

If ( DayOfWeek ( Self ) = 1 ; Self + 1 ; /* Else */ Self )

So, I would just put the syntax like you have it in a Auto Entry Calculation on that date field?

 

Like -  If ( DayOfWeek ( $date ) = 1 ; $date + 1 ; /* Else */ $date ) 

 

and thats it?

 

sounds to good to be true hahaha!!!

 

Thank you

 

I will give it a whirl.....
