Adjustment for Closest

Direction (Next or Previous) in which to adjust dates. This adjustment applies when you specify Closest in a Calendar rule, and the number of days on either side of the calculated date are equal.

Default Output Year

Four-digit year, in the format YYYY (for example, 1999), to use as the default for formatting dates. If you specify zero (0), the current year is used as the default. This default applies when a calculated date requires a year and the source column does not specify one, or when the format for the destination column does not include a year.

Weekend Days

Day or days of the week that represent weekends in the Calendar year. You can specify one or two days for a weekend. The days do not have to be consecutive. Any day of the week that is not defined as a weekend is considered a workday.
