Hi Mike, Its returning you 2/6/20 because it is the 4th business day of the month. Update the days to add 5

workday(date(year(ri!date), month(ri!date), 1), 5)

PS: Index in Appian starts from 1

Following code returns the 5th business day for each month this year

a!forEach(
  items: 1 + enumerate(12),
  expression: caladddays(date(2020, fv!item, 1), 4)
)

I've tried:

workday(date(year(ri!date), month(ri!date), 1), 4)

But it's returning incorrect values, especially when counting over weekends

Example:

Passing in 2/15/20, returns 2/6/20, which is incorrect since the 5th business day of February is 2/7/20
