Last workday of month as IF/ELSE

[Rukbunker]

Hey Oleg,

In this topic, you explained to set a "schedule" on the last workday of the month. Now this is very nice as trigger, but I want to use this "function" in a task that runs daily.

This task should execute something when it's the last working day of the month, so it's not a trigger of schedule function, more a "if/then/else" function. In the past, you have created a script for me which counts the number of workdays.

Code: Select all

function getworkday(d,m,y)
{
  workday = 0;
  m--; // month begins from 0 in Javascript
  dt = new Date(y, m, d);

  weekday = dt.getDay();
  // 0 Sunday
  // 1 Monday
  // 2 Tuesday
  // 3 Wednesday
  // 4 Thursday
  // 5 Friday
  // 6 Saturday
  for (i=d; i>0; i--)
    {
      if ((weekday != 6) && (weekday != 0))
        {
          workday++;
        }
        weekday--;
        if (weekday <0)
          {weekday = 6;
          }
    }
  return workday;
}

//LogMessage(getworkday(7,1,2016));

I found on Google the next script:

Code: Select all

function lastBusinessDayOfMonth(year, month) {
    var date = new Date();
    var offset = 0;
    var result = null;
    
    if ('undefined' === typeof year || null === year) {
        year = date.getFullYear();
    }
    
    if ('undefined' === typeof month || null === month) {
        month = date.getMonth();
    }

    do {
        result = new Date(year, month, offset);
        
        offset--;
    } while (0 === result.getDay() || 6 === result.getDay());

    return result;
}

However, the output is like this (and is correct by the way) (more here)

Code: Select all

Tue May 31 00:00:00 UTC+0200 2018

I've tried this code, but it's more dedicated for websites becuase of the alert function.

Code: Select all

function lastBusinessDayOfMonth(year, month) {
    var date = new Date();
    var offset = 0;
    var result = null;
    
    if ('undefined' === typeof year || null === year) {
        year = date.getFullYear();
    }
    
    if ('undefined' === typeof month || null === month) {
        month = date.getMonth();
    }

    do {
        result = new Date(year, month, offset);
        
        offset--;
    } while (0 === result.getDay() || 6 === result.getDay());

    return result;
}
var options = {  year: 'numeric', month: 'numeric', day: 'numeric' };

alert(event.toLocaleDateString('nl-NL', options));

Ergo: in fact the return should be the content of that alert

My programming skills are very lousy, so can you adjust this script so it spits out dd-mm-yyyy?

Use the expression return result.getVarDate(); at last line of the script. In this case the script returns the string with standard system date format.
Next use the expression {DateTimeToFormat({dt},dd-mm-yyyy)} to convert standard date to necessary format.

I have changed only last line in the script

Code: Select all

function lastBusinessDayOfMonth(year, month) {
    var date = new Date();
    var offset = 0;
    var result = null;

    if ('undefined' === typeof year || null === year) {
        year = date.getFullYear();
    }

    if ('undefined' === typeof month || null === month) {
        month = date.getMonth();
    }

    do {
        result = new Date(year, month, offset);

        offset--;
    } while (0 === result.getDay() || 6 === result.getDay());

    return result.getVarDate();
}

//LogMessage(lastBusinessDayOfMonth(2018, 4))
