Hi,
In the below link, SF has provided the formula, althouth i am familiar with the CASE, MOD functions, i am not able to understand why its been divided by 7, and rest details within formula. also at last why to multiply by 5 .
Also, Initially, why its minus the ref date from start date ? and if the divided value is 0,1,2 etc why again its dividing by 7, and if its 1, value taken 2, if its 2, values taken 3 etc ?
If anybody can able to make me understnd the formula why its so ? Thanks
