Help with DateAdd Function

rob
Hello all,

I have a report that is always due 14 weekdays (Monday thru Friday) from the
day it is suspensed.

I would like to use the DateAdd function using the weekday interval (
DateInterval.We ekday), but I've tried it and it returns the same value as
(DateInterval.D ay).

Am I doing something wrong, or do I have the wrong expection for this
function?
BTW - I already worked out a solution (using Select-Case and weekday
function).

rob,

Based on this remark from the documentation, I would say that you have the
wrong expectation for the function:

"To add days to DateValue, you can use DateInterval.Da y,
DateInterval.Da yOfYear, or DateInterval.We ekday. These are treated as
equivalent because DayOfYear and Weekday are not meaningful time intervals."

I have to ask the "obvious" question: then why have different functions if
date and weekday are equivelant?

I've always been mistified why you can't use a column alias in the group by clause (i.e. you have to re-iterate the entire expression in the group by clause after having already done it once in the select statement). I'm mostly a SQL hobbiest, so it's possible that I am not doing this in the most efficient manner. Anyone care to comment on this with relation to the following example (is there a way to acheive this without re-stating the...

I have the following code. If I do the dateadd function with dateinterval.minute, it works fine and the date/time value is displayed with zero seconds.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
