I'm creating a workplace calendar which uses formulas to identify the dates of key department events. One event I am trying to create on the calendar is the monthly department Town Hall, which is scheduled to occur on Wednesday of the 3rd "full" week of each month. I say the third full week because some months start off on a Wednesday or later which results in a partial week.
Is there a complex nested (or simple) formula I could use to identify the Wednesday of third "full" week of a new month, based of a date value in the first column of a table. Using Monday or Tuesday as the baseline to determine if the first week is a "full" week, since weekends wouldn't count for business purposes.
Sincerely,
Kristopher
Using A19 as the reference data as it has the 1st day of the month desired:
=A19+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(a19-1),1,7,6,5,4,3,2)+15
This assumes that the first full week starts one or before a Monday.
I took ScottCramers suggestion, which worked well on the first days of the month for identifying the Wednesday of 3rd full week, then edited it a but to meet my exact needs. His formula worked perfectly on the first day of a month, in identifying the 3rd Wednesday in comparison. So I added the following to maintain the first day in relation to the row throughout the table
=DATE($A$16,MONTH([#Date]),1)+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE($A$16,MONTH([#Date]),1)-1),1,7,6,5,4,3,2)+15
This maintained the first day of month for every row. Then I added the following to compare the rows date to the formulated date, and if it was a match then that day is the TownHall event.
=IF([#Date]=DATE($A$16,MONTH([#Date]),1)+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE($A$16,MONTH([#Date]),1)-1),1,7,6,5,4,3,2)+15,"TownHall","")
I'm setting up a spreadsheet to calculate dates based off of one trigger date. If one of the subsequent dates is not a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, I need Excel to find the date of the next Tuesday. (In my office, certain meetings can only happen Tuesday through Thursday, so if the calculated date falls on a Monday or a Friday, I'd like Excel to give me the next Tuesday.)
I'm trying to use IF and WEEKDAY together, and I'm pretty sure something is wrong with how I wrote the "or" logic. Here's what I have:
=IF(WEEKDAY(D9,1)=NOT(OR(3,4,5)),D9+7-WEEKDAY(D9+7-3),D9)
But the formula returns false every time and gives me the date in the cell itself.
With a date in A1, use:
=CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(A1),A1+2,A1+1,A1,A1,A1,A1+4,A1+3)
(almost as easy as a VLOOKUP())
=IF(MOD(A1-1,7)>2,A1+2-MOD(A1-1,7)+7,A1+2-MOD(A1-1,7))
A1 is your trigger date
I have a list of recurring bills. Some are on the 1st of every month, and some are on the 15th or 16th etc. What I want to be able to do is display this day within the current month. So if it is February, and the bill recurs on the 9th every month, my cell will show 02/09/12, and if it was march, it would show 03/09/12. Is there a formula or macro to accomplish this?
Found it to be: =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),18)
If you have the number 9 in A1 this formula will show the 9th of the current month (whether that be in the future or the past)
=TODAY()-DAY(TODAY())+A1
edate(start-date),1)
ie edate(B3,1)
b3= 1/5/13
Result = 5th of 1 month later - 2/5/13
3 for quarterly, 12 for annual
I'm looking for an Excel function to return the last Friday in a month for a given date.
ie: Any date in the month as input will give the date of the last Friday as output.
14-July-09 should give 31-July-09
7-March-05 should give 35-March-09
Building on #Toomas answer above, I had to make some amendments for Excel 2007, but came up with the following:
=EOMONTH(A1,0)-MOD(WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(A1,0))+1,7)
Which is assuming that the WEEKDAY returned for Friday is 6 and then applying a shifted MOD 7 to achieve the correct day.
Try this formula:
=IF(WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(A5;0);16)=7;EOMONTH(A5;0);EOMONTH(A5;0)-WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(A5;0);16))
Enter to A5 date value of which you are looking for the last Friday in a month.
The following formula achives this for a date in cell A1:
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0)+MOD(-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0),2)-2,-7)
I came here looking for the formula to get the most recent Friday in the past which turned out to be =TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY())-1
In case anyone needs to do this for next year (or future years):
=EOMONTH(DATE(YEAR(TODAY())+1,MONTH(TODAY()),1),0)-MOD(WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(DATE(YEAR(TODAY())+1,MONTH(TODAY()),1),0))+1,7)
Here's one that will show the last Friday of the current month.
And if the date is in the past it will show you next month's last Friday.
And if it's December right now, it'll show you next year's January's Friday.
=IF(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())+1,0)+MOD(-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())+1,0),2)-2,-7)>=TODAY(), DATE(IF(MONTH(TODAY())+1>12,YEAR(TODAY()+1),YEAR(TODAY())),MONTH(TODAY())+1,0)+MOD(-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())+1,0),2)-2,-7), DATE(IF(MONTH(TODAY())=12,YEAR(TODAY())+1,YEAR(TODAY())),MONTH(IF(MONTH(TODAY())=12,1,MONTH(TODAY())))+1,0)+MOD(-WEEKDAY(DATE(IF(MONTH(TODAY())=12,YEAR(TODAY())+1,YEAR(TODAY())),MONTH(IF(MONTH(TODAY())=12,1,MONTH(TODAY())))+1,0),2)-2,-7))
You can try
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)-1+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)-1),-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,0,-1)
to find the last friday of the month. Assumes A1 has the date.
Hey the formatting is outdated so ill show what I came up with:
=EOMONTH(A1;A2)-(WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(A1;A2);15)-1)
[A1] is an interval of months later, from [A2] the stating date, that the result date should be.
We have some equipment that need maintenance last Friday of the month, an number of months since last Maintenace.
EOMONTH(A1;A2): we find the date, of the last day, of target month.
WEEKDAY([Date];15): assign a number for day of the week.
[15] makes Friday the value 1 and Thursday the value 7.
so if the last day of the month is Friday, the calculation would be:
[Date]-(1-1) = [Date] therefor the date won't change.
[Date] in my original code example, is the last day of the target month: [A2] date + [A1] number of months later.
if the last day is Wednesday, we want it to subtract 5 days: [Date]-(6-1) = [Date]-5
As a sidenote:
=WORKDAY(A2+1;-1;[hollydays])
will round a date back to the earlier Workday if it lands in a weekend or holyday
[holyday] can be an area of cells with predefined dates to skip eg: [$C$1:$C$20].
$ is so the area won't change when you extend the function to other cells.
if you don't care about holydays use =WORKDAY(A2+1;-1)
Awesome! Basically, like trying to find the first or second Monday of the month,
=DATE(TheYear,5,1)+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(TheYear,5,1)),1,0,6,5,4,3,2)
which returns the first Monday of the month, in this case May
but to find the last weekday of the month, in the formula, you start with the next month and subtract
=DATE(TheYear,6,1)-1+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(TheYear,6,1)),-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0)
which returns the last Monday of May
I have a cell that I named TheYear, in which I enter the year I'm working with, but you can point to whatever cell you have the year you want (e.g. A1).
I don't know why the pointers to the days of the week are in reverse order but to find the day (e.g. Tuesday instead of Monday), change the order of those numbers but they have to stay in order. For example, 4th Thursday of November:
=DATE(TheYear,11,1)+21+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(TheYear,11,1)),4,3,2,1,0,6,5)
=EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)-WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))-1
This gives the last Friday of this month. You can replace both instances of Today() with any date you like or a cell reference that has a date to get the last Friday in any other month.
=WORKDAY.INTL((EOMONTH(A4,0)+1),-1,"1111011")
