Hello all, I’m trying to add a forecast to my water and weather app. Problem I’m having is showing future days of the week, without returning a blank.

![Screen Shot 2023-02-02 at 10.08.23 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/2/e2ff2f329942c6f908ff4366c8f9b4a4b9da3b8c.png)

I have a list in Airtable with Sunday – Saturday. When I check a 7-day forecast on a Thursday, it shows Friday and Saturday, then returns a blank because it doesn’t start the list over.

I tried using a `current day of the week + 1` block, with a `"null"` and a `null`, then redirecting back to `row id 1`. Also tried checking for `"day"` in the text. I’m still not getting any love back, though.

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? Or suggestions I should try?

Cheers,  
Dean…

if today is thursday, current day of the week is 5 - it’s fine to add +1 or +2 to current day of the week, but once you add +3, current day of week becomes 8! (but there are only seven days of the week!)

here’s the fix:

with this

this will make sure that day of week will always be 1 thru 7.

and of course do the same for day of the week + 2, etc

Ahhh, got it. So it treats `current day of the week` as an integer, not as text. I figured the +1 was just moving down the list, not doing math.

Makes perfect sense when you know how it actually works. Thank you!! @manyone

After trying a few different permutations (and getting all Thursdays, which is today), here’s what ultimately worked. Maybe it’ll help someone else.

Thanks again, @manyone!!
