How to display a date based on a choice field
I have a multiple choice field that contains the name of weekdays called Days. I am looking for a solution to update the date field (Date) with the next time a Day is Monday or Tuesday and so on, which should be updated every day. I thought a simple if then statement could work but I can't seem to get it right. As I'm new to Ninox, I have no clue on how to get this to work

Something with: while weekday(Date) != text(Days) do Date := Date + 1 end
this is not tested, it might need some tweaking...

I'm stuck... most probably also because when I read my question I think I haven't explained well enough. My multiple-choice field is called Days and the values one can select are Monday, Tuesday, and so on. If I apply the solution above, I'm not getting any date returned. I think I might have to define somewhere that my choices are as "days of week" to make it work but am not sure. Any more hints for me to puzzle further?

Is it a choice field or a multiple choice field? How would it return one date with a multiple choice field if more can be selected....
This works for me with a choice field:
let d := Date;
if Days then
while weekdayName(weekday(d)) != text(Days) do
d := d + 1
endend;
dMy choice field contains Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,....
I've put the above code in a formula field to see the result of c .
