First Working Day in Crystal Reports

From time to time, to save on resources and make things easier you have to bodge certain items. Today’s example is generating a different report on the first working day of the month than the rest of the month. Crystal Reports doesn’t offer the functionality to identify the first working day of the month, so i’ve created the following fuction:

Function FirstWorkingDayOfMonth(d as Date)
   dim td as date

   ' Grab the first day of the month and check what day of the week it is
   td = datevalue(Year(d),Month(d),1)

   select case dayofweek(td,crMonday)
      case 6
         ' Saturday
         FirstWorkingDayOfMonth = datevalue(year(d),month(d),3)
      case 7
         ' Sunday
         FirstWorkingDayOfMonth = datevalue(year(d),month(d),2)
      case else
         FirstWorkingDayOfMonth = td
   end select
End Function

Just incase this is handy for anyone else.
