LastFullWeek starting with monday in crystal reports

When using LastFullWeek i get the last Sunday - Saturday week, but for my reports i want the last Monday - Sunday week. Is there any simple way to get this behaviour, or do I have to write my own function for it (which isn't that hard, but unconvenient for such a common date span.)

Solution

  • custom function:

    //LastFullWeekEx
Function (DateVar date, Optional NumberVar firstDayOfWeek := crSunday)
  (date - DayOfWeek(date, firstDayOfWeek)) - 6 TO (date - DayOfWeek(date, firstDayOfWeek))

    usage:

    // use with non-volatile DataDate and Sunday
{TABLE.DATE} IN LastFullWeekEx(DataDate)

// use with non-volatile DataDate and Monday
{TABLE.DATE} IN LastFullWeekEx(DataDate, crMonday)

    testing:

    // should return True
( Minimum(LastFullWeek) = Minimum(LastFullWeekEx(DataDate, crSunday)) ) AND
( Maximum(LastFullWeek) = Maximum(LastFullWeekEx(DataDate, crSunday)) )
