how to restrict a user to edit a field only on friday

I want users to edit some particular field only on every friday,

For this i used following validation:

CASE( WEEKDAY(DATEVALUE(CreatedDate)),
2, ISCHANGED(Age_in_Years__c),
3, ISCHANGED(Age_in_Years__c),
4, ISCHANGED(Age_in_Years__c),
5, ISCHANGED(Age_in_Years__c),
NOT(ISCHANGED(Age_in_Years__c)))

but it is throwing an error: "Incorrect argument type for function 'CASE()'"

Can any one help me on this.

Thanks,
Ranga.V

Hi Ranga,

Please use the following Error Conditional formula Which will throw error if you are making changes to Age_in_Years__c field other than on Friday 
AND( 
    ISCHANGED( Age_in_Years__c ), 
    WEEKDAY(TODAY()) <> 6
)

Thanks

Hello @Ranga

Try this below code:

AND(WEEKDAY(DATEVALUE(CreatedDate))=6,ISCHANGED(Age_in_Years__c))

If you find it positive then mark it best answer.
