Re: Calculating the Last Friday Date of Each Month

Hi Jamie,

Create the below 3 variables

• Last Date of Month  =LastDayOfMonth([Date])

This gives the last Date of the month

• Dayname of Last Date of Month =DayName([Last Date of Month])

This gives the Dayname of last date of Month.

• Date for Last Friday of Month

=If([Dayname of Last Date of Month]="Saturday") Then RelativeDate([Last Date of Month];-1)

ElseIf([Dayname of Last Date of Month]="Sunday") Then RelativeDate([Last Date of Month];-2)

ElseIf([Dayname of Last Date of Month]="Monday") Then RelativeDate([Last Date of Month];-3)

ElseIf([Dayname of Last Date of Month]="Tuesday") Then RelativeDate([Last Date of Month];-4)

ElseIf([Dayname of Last Date of Month]="Wednesday") Then RelativeDate([Last Date of Month];-5)

ElseIf([Dayname of Last Date of Month]="Thursday") Then RelativeDate([Last Date of Month];-6)

Else [Last Date of Month]

This gives the Date of Last Friday of Month.

I tried it and it works perfect, let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
