You should look up how the WEEKDAY function works. The last arguement can
not be changed arbitrarily.. If you're wanting a different day, something
like:
=TODAY()+7-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),3)

If you're wanting a different day, decrease the 7.
6 - Sunday 3/21
5 - Sat 3/20
4 - Fri 3/19

Thank you;

While I did not say so, I need to do the same for each day of the week.
If I change the '3' in the formula to 1, it returns Saturday, March 20.
Change it to 2 and it returns Sunday March 21. That is good. But if I
change it to 4, in the hopes it will return Tuesday, March 23, I get an
error. Same if I change it to 6 in the hopes it returns Thursday, March
18.


What am I missing?

Thanks again.

Hello:

I am seeking a formula that would return the date of the closest Monday
to
today's date. The monday would have to be the first one in the future,
not
the past. So today, Tuesday March 16, 2010, the formula would return
Monday, March 22, 2010

Thanks in advance

How about this?

=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())+7-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),3))
