In Tableau 10.5, I want to have my Week(date) start on a Monday, but it automatically starts on Sunday. How can I change this?
From one of the worksheets, right-click the Data Source, then select “Date Properties”. From here, you can modify Week Start Day, Fiscal Year Start and Date Format.

I have the following azure function that is supposed to retrieve the date of the previous Monday. It works fine except for if the current date is a monday. I need the function to still retrieve the previous monday date if it is Monday or Tuesday. This is due to the time not being updated until middle of day tuesday.
#{formatDateTime( subtractFromTime( utcNow(), sub(dayOfWeek(utcNow()),1), 'Day' ), 'yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00' )}
I am still learning Azure synapse so I am not sure if I can write an IF statement that accomplishes this or if there is a better way to write it.
I have reproduced the above and able to get the desired result by using the below dynamic content.
#if(greater(dayOfWeek(utcnow()),1),formatDateTime(addDays(subtractFromTime(utcnow(),dayOfWeek(utcnow()),'Day'),1),'yyyy/MM/dd'),formatDateTime(addDays(subtractFromTime(utcnow(),dayOfWeek(utcnow()),'Day'),-6),'yyyy/MM/dd'))
The day of week for a monday from last sunday is 1, so I am checking the current date's day of week is greater than monday or not.
If it is greater (Today is not a Monday), then I am giving last Monday by adding 1 day to the last Sunday.
If it is not, then I am subtracting -6 from the last Sunday which is the previous Monday.
This will work for all days, but we need to change the condition and the number which we are adding and subtracting as per the day we required.
Result:
If you want the result to be Monday even though current date is Monday or Tuesday, then give the expression for Tuesday also in the above condition using or.
I want to find out the previous weeks's last day in Teradata SQL using Sunday as the last day of the week. For example, today is Friday 1/27, so the last week ended on Sunday (1/22) and I would want to return 2023-01-22.
Other examples:
If current date is '2023-01-02', then the output I require is '2023-01-01'
If current date is '2023-01-18', then the output I require is '2023-01-15'
With Hive query I would use:
date_sub(current_date, cast(date_format(current_date, 'u') as int));
What would the equivalent be in Teradata? I've tried using the code below but it seems to return the date of the closest Sunday instead of the date of the previous Sunday.
SELECT ROUND(current_date, 'd') (FORMAT 'yyyy-mm-dd');
There are several ways:
Probably the best one is one of the built-in functions to return the previous xxxday <= the input date:
Td_Sunday(Current_Date - 1)
Or the function to return the next xxxday > input date:
Next_Day(Current_Date - 8, 'sun')
Truncating is least understandable:
Trunc(Current_Date, 'IW') -1
TRUNC supports three variations, only IW is usable, but restricted to Monday as week start:
IW: the Monday of the ISO week
WW: the same day of the week as January 1st of the year
W: the same day of the week as the first day of the month
You can use the trunc function to return the first day of the a week, month, ect.
select trunc(current_date -7 ,'IW')
Current date today is 2023-01-27. This will return 2023-01-15, the previous Sunday.
EDIT: Sorry, meant to use the ISO week. As Dnoeth points out, the regular week option doesn't work consistently (which I didn't know, never used it for this before). Anyhoo, his answer is better than mine...
I am trying to create an Analytics report and I want to set the date range from Monday to Sunday.
I am setting the Start date to: =today()-7 and the End day to =today()-1, but this shows the last 7 days everytime I run the report (say I run it on wednesday, it will show data from wednesday to tuesday).
How can I set the date range so it shows it from last Monday to Sunday?
Short answer
Use WEEKDAY
Explanation
WEEKDAY returns the day of the week.
To get the Monday's date, use this value to subtract it from today's date.
To get the Sunday's date, add 6 to the monday date.
Example
Today =today() 11/14/2016
Weekday =WEEKDAY(B1,3) 0
Start =B1-B2 11/14/2016
End =B3+6 11/20/2016
I have a data set that has dates for many years. I can easily filter the data by month or week, but I was hoping to change the X axis to make it start in October and end in April.
Is there a way to do this in Tableau without altering the original data and listed dates?
I don't know about it ending in April since that would not be a full 12 months but you can make it start in October. Right click on your date field > Default Properties > Fiscal Year Start. Then select October.

I am creating a report in infoview, which is a cross-tab. I have departments on the row side and for the column I want to have all Saturday dates dynamically displayed, and this is dependent on the date prompt values I put in to the report when I run it.
So if I put in for the prompts Dec the 08th 2013 to Jan the 04th 2014 I should see 4 Saturday dates (14th/21st/28th/04th) along the column headers.
I started off using a variable and using the function relativedate, which gave me all the dates I wanted:
=RelativeDate(LastDayOfWeek([Query 1].[Episode End Date]);-1)
but because I used -1 to get the Saturday date it was giving me the Saturday before the earliest prompt date, so I was getting these dates instead:
(07th/14th/21st/28th/04th)
Is there a way I can get these dates but ignore the previous day (the 7th) before the start prompt date?
I want to have this dynamic so that if I put a date range in it shows me all the saturday dates within that range along the top of the report regardless of the date range period.

The reason you're having trouble is that WebI (being ISO compliant) considers a week to run from Monday to Sunday, but your reporting week ends on Saturday.
So, I would approach it this way:
=RelativeDate(
LastDayOfWeek(
RelativeDate([Query 1].[Episode End Date];1)
)
;-1)
If we evaluate some dates with this logic, we'll see the desired result:
Testing 12/8 (Sunday):
Add one day = 12/9
Get Last Day Of Week = 12/15
Subtract one day = 12/14
Testing 12/12 (Thursday)
Add one day = 12/13
Get Last Day Of Week = 12/15
Subtract one day = 12/14
Testing 12/14 (Saturday)
Add one day = 12/15
Get Last Day Of Week = 12/15
Subtract one day = 12/14
I'm at home and don't have access to WebI right now, so I can't test this myself, but the logic should be sound.
