I am stumped and hoping someone here can help...
Dead
I have a report that will need to be run once per week, but not always on the same day. The report needs to include all the records from our DB that have dates from that following Sunday through Saturday. I would like this report to figure this out automatically based on the current date, so the user doesn't need to enter the range of dates into a parameter. My date field is a DateTime.
 
Examples:
Today is Tuesday, October 30th. If I ran the report today, I'd need to include records for November 4-10.
 
If I ran the report tomorrow, October 31st, I'd also need to include records for November 4-10.
 
Any ideas?

dateadd('d',8-datepart('w',currentdate),currentdate)
 
this part takes todays date and figures out the weekday value of it (1=sunday, 2=monday, etc.). This is here to make it dynamic based on the day the report is run
this is just the static value of 8
this part adds a dynamic number of days (8-weekdayvalue) to today
the "8-weekdayvalue of today" always gets to you next sunday
 
Does that help?
