Friday

Typo correction...

GetFriday = "The most recent Friday was " & Date - lngN - 1
should read...
GetFriday = "The most recent Friday was " & dteEntry - lngN - 1

You posted a similar but different question elsewhere, involving
the last Friday of the month, or the previous Friday before the
last day of the month, see
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/datecalc.htm

Actually Winston said the Friday before the last working day of the month
which is a whole new ball of worms with networkdays and holidays.

Hi Winston,
FYI excelforum does not recognize threading, as your reply came
out as a reply to me rather than Roger.

There is a missing close paren after TODAY()
it should be
=TODAY()+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(TODAY()),-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,0,-1)

You can see what a thread really looks like here.

Hi Winston,
That other thread you started was actually in this same newsgroup
http://groups.google.com/groups?thre...gp 13.phx.gbl

Best to keep with the orginal thread rather than causing a dilution.

Hi all,

I got enough problems with my project without losing our thread LOL

Hi David & Winston

Thank you David for pointing out the error in my posting.
Apologies Winston for the sloppiness in my typing. On this occasion, I
didn't cut and paste from the formula I had proved worked in my workbook.

I think David also posted in another thread
=TODAY()-CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(TODAY()),2,3,4,5,6,0,1)

Its amazing that one can't see that Adding negative numbers is the same as
subtracting when you are in the midst of solving a problemvbg.
