This example calculates the day of the week as a number (0 = Saturday, 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, 3 = Tuesday, etc.) for Opportunity Close Date. Formula ReturnType: Number Formula: MOD( {!CloseDate} - DATE(1900, 1, 6), 7) .............................................................................................................................................. ................................................................................................................................................. A text version of this formula could spell out the day of the week: CASE(MOD( {!CloseDate} - DATE(1900, 1, 6), 7), 0, "Saturday", 1, "Sunday", 2,"Monday", 3, "Tuesday", 4, "Wednesday", 5, "Thursday", 6,"Friday","")

Hi,


I think you want to display 1, 2, 3 and 4 as week value. Try the below formula and made changes accordingly:
FLOOR(DAY( Datevalue(CreatedDate))/7 ) + 1

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.
