RE: Getting the first day of the week of any week.

Thanks, Chris! The weekday() function indeed is super helpful.

The issue in my code apparently was in the datetext() function. It subtracted an extra day, and I didn't know until I looked at the code with fresh eyes, and decided to use text() instead.

It ended up like this, and it works great. It always returns the Monday of the week in question 🙂

a!localVariables(
local!ctrlday: todate("08/25/2021"),
local!daysDiff: weekday(local!ctrlday) - 2,
local!endResult: local!ctrlday - (local!daysDiff),
{
"Date: " & local!ctrlday & ". Weekday: " & weekday(local!ctrlday),
local!daysDiff,
text(local!endResult, "yyyy/MM/dd")
}
)

Hi Gabriel, the weekday() function is great in this scenario:

ri!date-weekday(ri!date)+2
