What we are trying to accomplish is getting the last weekday of a month. So if it is a day between Monday till Friday I want to get the last day of those in a month. Hope you get where I want to go to with this. If it still is a feature request how can I ask for something like this to be added ?

You could use last friday of December 2017 instead, see https://3v4l.org/cVpin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-11-03 10:40:10] wouter at deinternetjongens dot nl Expected result should be : ---------------- DateTime {#12086 +"date": "2017-12-29 00:00:00.000000", +"timezone_type": 3, +"timezone": "UTC", } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-11-03 10:38:31] wouter at deinternetjongens dot nl Description: ------------ We came across a bug when trying to get the last weekday of a month.
