Forinstance, I have a formula that calculates a Start Date by using "Due Date" - 40 WORKDAYS. I need to then have the result show the Friday of that week. My first WORKDAY formula works fine on its own, but not with IF(WEEKDAY...... added.

I'm trying include a date range with counting the number of applicants within various depts, in certain date ranges, but it's saying incorrect argument set. =COUNTIFS(DISTINCT([Name of Requestor]:[Name of Requestor], [Submission Date]:[Submission Date], AND(@cell > DATE (2023, 9, 30), @cell


Its a great tool, but as it stands, I could spend all day Friday checking the status and then having to wait for the weekend to pass to effectively address what the project needs when the team is active.


I have a similar problem. My town collects the recyclable trash on the last friday of every month. So I have to prepare and put it outside on the evening before the last friday of the month. I cannot set up a reminder for it in any software I know of, because this kind of logic is not available. Setting a reminder for the last Thursday works most the time, but 1 out of 7 it is 1 week too late, whenever Thursdya is the last day of the month.

When someone needs schedule for 3 days before last given day of the week, such schedule would be off 3/7th of the time.


I have spent days trying to figure this out to no avail, so hopefully someone can help me. I have a queried date set which contains several fields including a column of dates. What I want to do is create a new field in my query that tells what the Monday and Friday is for the week of that row's particular date.


Note that using the above, on weekends the Monday will be the Monday preceding the current date, and the Friday will be the Friday following the current date, i.e. there will be 11 days between the two days.


There may be a simpler, canonical Oracle method to this but you can still reduce it to a simple calculation on your own either way. I'm going to assume you're dealing with only dates falling Monday through Friday. If you do need to deal with weekend dates then you might have to be more explicit about which logical week they should be attached to.


In principle all you need to do is add/subtract the appropriate number of days based on the current day of week (from 1 - 7). There are some implicit casts going on in there and it would probably be wise to handle those better. You might also want to check into NLS settings to make sure you can rely on to_char() using Sunday as the first day of week.


Friday is the day of the week between Thursday and Saturday. In countries that adopt the traditional "Sunday-first" convention, it is the sixth day of the week. In countries adopting the ISO 8601-defined "Monday-first" convention, it is the fifth day of the week.[1]


An exception is Portuguese, also a Romance language, which uses the word sexta-feira, meaning "sixth day of liturgical celebration", derived from the Latin feria sexta used in religious texts where consecrating days to pagan gods was not allowed. Another exception among the Romance languages is also Sardinian, in which the word chenpura is derived from Latin cena pura. This name had been given by the Jewish community exiled to the island in order to designate the food specifically prepared for Shabbat eve.[5]


Friday is considered unlucky in some cultures. This is particularly so in maritime circles; perhaps the most enduring sailing superstition is that it is unlucky to begin a voyage on a Friday.[7][8] In the 19th century, Admiral William Henry Smyth described Friday in his nautical lexicon The Sailor's Word-Book as:


In modern times since the Middle Ages, Friday the 13th and Friday the 17th are considered to be especially unlucky, due to the conjunction of Friday with the unlucky numbers thirteen and seventeen. Such a Friday may be called a "Black Friday".[11]


In Christianity, Good Friday is the Friday before Easter. It commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. Adherents of many Christian denominations including the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Methodist, and Anglican traditions observe the Friday Fast, which traditionally includes abstinence from meat, lacticinia, and alcohol on Fridays of the year.[13][14][15]


Traditionally, Roman Catholics were obliged to refrain from eating the meat of warm-blooded animals[16] on Fridays, although fish was allowed. The Filet-O-Fish was invented in 1962 by Lou Groen, a McDonald's franchise owner in Cincinnati, Ohio,[16][17] in response to falling hamburger sales on Fridays resulting from the Roman Catholic practice of abstaining from meat on Fridays.[18]


The Eastern Orthodox Church continues to observe Fridays (as well as Wednesdays) as fast days throughout the year (with the exception of several fast-free periods during the year). Fasting on Fridays entails abstinence from meat or meat products (i.e., quadrupeds), poultry, and dairy products (as well as fish). Unless a feast day occurs on a Friday, the Orthodox also abstain from using oil in their cooking and from alcoholic beverages (there is some debate over whether abstention from oil involves all cooking oil or only olive oil). On particularly important feast days, fish may also be permitted. For the Orthodox, Fridays throughout the year commemorate the Crucifixion of Christ and the Theotokos (Mother of God), especially as she stood by the foot of the cross. There are hymns in the Octoekhos which reflect this liturgically. These include Theotokia (hymns to the Mother of God) which are chanted on Wednesdays and Fridays called Stavrotheotokia ("Cross-Theotokia"). The dismissal at the end of services on Fridays begins with the words: "May Christ our true God, through the power of the precious and life-giving cross...."


The day is named after Shukra son of Bhrigu and Kavyamata (Usana). In Hinduism, special observances are practiced for forms of the Devi, such as Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Kali, Parvati, Annapurna, or Santoshi Mata on Friday. Fridays are important for married ladies and they worship the goddesses on that day.


In Islam, Friday (from sun-down Thursday to sun-down Friday) is the day of communion, of praying together, the holy day of Muslims. Friday observance includes attendance at a Masjid (mosque) for congregation prayer or Salat Al Jumu'ah. It is considered a day of peace and mercy (see Jumu'ah).


According to some Islamic traditions, the day is stated to be the original holy day ordained by God, but that now Jews and Christians recognize the days after.[23][24] In some Islamic countries, the week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday, just like the Jewish week and the week in some Christian countries. The week begins on Saturday and ends on Friday in most other Islamic countries, such as Somalia, and Iran. Friday is also the day of rest in the Bahʼ Faith.[25] In some Malaysian states, Friday is the first week-end day, with Saturday the second, to allow Muslims to perform their religious obligations on Friday.[26] Sunday is the first working day of the week for governmental organizations.


Muslims are recommended not to fast on a Friday by itself (makruh, recommended against, but not haram, religiously forbidden), unless it is accompanied with fasting the day before (Thursday) or day after (Saturday), or it corresponds with days usually considered good for fasting (i.e. Day of Arafah or Ashura), or it falls within one's usual religious fasting habits (i.e. fasting every other day), then it's completely permissible.[27]Muslims believe Friday as "Syed-ul-Ayyam" meaning King of days. A narration in Sahih Muslim describes the importance of Friday as follows.


The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on it, Adam was created. on it he was made to enter Paradise, on it he was expelled from it. And the last hour will take place on no day other than Friday.


Positions left unfilled after the matching algorithm has been processed are offered to eligible applicants through the Match Week Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP). Applicants should spend time familiarizing themselves with Match Week information and resources.


At 10:00 AM ET, applicants learn if (but not where) they matched. Match status notification is sent by email, and applicants also can use a mobile device to access their match status in the Registration, Ranking, and Results (R3) system. Applicants who learn they are matched are invited to share messages using #Match2025 throughout the week.


The time between Match Status Notification and Match Day is structured to allow unmatched and partially matched applicants the opportunity to apply and interview for unfilled positions prior to Match Day.


No. If you did not register for a Match prior to the applicable Rank Order List Certification Deadline, you will not have access to the List of Unfilled Programs. In addition, you cannot register after the deadline or the release of Match results to gain access to the List.


Despite a busy week, my weekends remain packed as I study on weekends (I surprisingly enjoy it with my colleagues) and, when I return home, I indulge in some serious laptop gaming. Yes, I'm a gamer at heart!


Thank goodness it's almost Friday here in the U.S. While it was a short week (Monday was a holiday at my company), it has felt incredibly long! ? On Fridays, I love to relax and watch a movie as a family. The weekends tend to be pretty busy for us with kids' activities and other commitments, but Fridays tend to lend themselves to slowing down and enjoying a movie together!


@Hind Kadiri From Jaanga I have a couple of friends that got me interested in playing Warhammer 40K (tabletop strategy game) so I have been working on putting together an army to play with/against them.


@Johanna Pichotka_APTIS_ I'm with you on the quiet activities to unwind and recharge. I love watching movies and going for walks when it's nice enough to do so outside as a way to transition into the weekend. Oftentimes I also like to get the body moving and do something physically active as a way to stay present and mindful while blowing off some steam.
