Day of week for a specific date

[jpch]

Hi,

Is it possible to have Robotask find out the day of the week for a specific date (Not the current date) stored in a variable?

{DayOfWeek} and {DayOfWeekNo} only shows the day of the week for the current date.

Thank you

JP

use the expression {DayOfWeek(01.01.2010)}
Specify necessary date in you current system format

Hi Oleg,

Thank you for your reply.

The suggestion still doesn't work. {DayOfWeek(2025-10-16)} still gives me today's day of week.

See attached image.

Any ideas of a workaround for this?

Thank you

You need enter the date in you current system date format
thy these strings

Code: Select all

{Date}
{DayOfWeek}
{DayOfWeek({FormatToDateTime(2025-10-16,yyyy-mm-dd)})}

Also I'm afraid that hyphens in the system format and in the action parameters are different symbols (see screenshot).

So the action can not recognize your string
