What is next Monday's date?
How to get the date for next Monday in Crystal Reports
Magnifying Glass
Scenario: You need to create a report with weekly columns of data, you have a parameter called ReportDate and the first column header should be the Monday following the ReportDate supplied by the user.  Here is a formula that will calculate the date of the first Monday:
if DayOfWeek({?ReportDate}) = 1
then dateadd("d",1,{?ReportDate}) else
if DayOfWeek({?ReportDate}) = 2
then dateadd("d",7,{?ReportDate}) else
if DayOfWeek({?ReportDate}) = 3
then dateadd("d",6,{?ReportDate}) else
if DayOfWeek({?ReportDate}) = 4
then dateadd("d",5,{?ReportDate}) else
if DayOfWeek({?ReportDate}) = 5
then dateadd("d",4,{?ReportDate}) else
if DayOfWeek({?ReportDate}) = 6
then dateadd("d",3,{?ReportDate}) else
if DayOfWeek({?ReportDate}) = 7
then dateadd("d",2,{?ReportDate})
If you call the formula above Week1date, below is a formula that will calculate the following Monday's date:
dateadd("d",7,{@Week1date})
You can just change the 7 to 14, 21, etc., to calculate additional column header dates as needed.
