Arg: Is it possible to Filter for the next 3, 4, or 5 BUSINESS Days?
I could use a second set of eyes, please (particularly yours, @Anthony Imgrund )
One of the little tricks I found a while back is that the constants that can be combined with $$TODAY on a Filter are additive; for example, you can Filter between $$TODAYbm and $$TODAYbm+3w to get the "the first three weeks of the current month" (not that I've found a need for that frivolous example...yet). However, I'm stumped on a requirement to filter from $$TODAY to the next 3, 4, or 5 BUSINESS days (skipping Saturdays and Sundays). The best I've come up with so far for the +3, +4, and +5 business days are as follows:
{!$$TODAY+1w-2d}
{!$$TODAY+1w-1d}
{!$$TODAY+1w}
However, in testing -- and as shown on the attached diagram -- the +3 and +4 day cases are each flawed in certain cases, either retrieving an extra day (which isn't too bad) or missing a day (which is unacceptable). As it is an intriguing challenge, I thought I would pose it to the community. I've drawn up a picture to illustrate the flaws, and attached it (along with the spreadsheet I used, in order to noodle around with it as I did) to this post. Does anyone have a brilliant solution I've overlooked before throw in the towel and solve it by cheating with some code tomorrow night? Regards, Doug Doug Den Hoed - AtAppStore Got Skills?
