Monday closest to today's date?
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 |

Monday closest to today's date?
If today is Monday, do you want today's date or next week?
former: =TODAY()+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(TODAY()),1,0,6,5,4,3,2) latter: =TODAY()+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(TODAY()),1,7,6,5,4,3,2) -- Best Regards, Luke M "Ted" wrote in message ...

Monday closest to today's date?
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. "zxcv" wrote in message ... On Mar 16, 9:50 am, "Ted" wrote: Hello: I am seeking a formula that would return the date of the closest Monday to today's date.

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 -- Best Regards, Luke M "Ted" wrote in message ...
