Schedule: First Weekday in Month
Bryan Baca
Hey Chad. This is achievable using the Using Macro schedule frequency.
- In the schedule select Frequency > Using Macro
- Configure the Start At time
- Enter the [FIRSTMONINMONTH] macro in the macro field and select the green plus button to add
- Add/save the schedule
This macro will resolve to the first Monday of each month.
You can see a full list of available Date macros here:

Does this address your requirement?

You can also select the M icon next to the macro field. It will open the Macro Builder which will also display a list of Date macros and they various usages.

That gives me the first Monday, but is there a way to give me the first weekday regardless if it is Monday, Tuesday, etc?
Bryan Baca
My apologies Chad. I misunderstood the requirement. The following macro will give you the first weekday of the month:
[FIRSTDAYINMONTH+0K]
K means weekday. The +0 tells InfoBurst to use the first weekday.
Chad Watson
No worries, this is fantastic, thank you! I couldn't figure this one out. This was very helpful, thank you.
Is there anyway to do second weekday of month? I was able to successfully do first weekday of month with the macro above. Thanks!
Bryan Baca
Hey Jonathan. [FIRSTDAYINMONTH+2K] will give you the second weekday in each month.
Bryan, that will give you the second weekday if the first is on a weekend. If the first is on a work day, then it would return the 3rd workday. Is there another way to return the Xth business day of the current month?

How do I set up a schedule to burst out a report on the first workday/weekday (M-F) of the month?
