Using PO_DT field in Oracle, Trying to get the First Date of week based on value of PO_DT.

and Connor said...

You can truncate a date column to the week, eg

SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'DAY DD-MON-YYYY';

Session altered.

SQL> select trunc(sysdate,'IW') from dual;

TRUNC(SYSDATE,'IW')
---------------------
MONDAY    03-APR-2017


Note that depending on your country/territory settings the "first" day of the week might not be deemed to be a Monday, so double check that as well.
