Default 1st Monday of a month in date range??


Example:

How many 5th Fridays are between 5/1/2006 and 6/30/2006

The answer should be 1, your formula works if I change the end date to
7/1/2006 but not for 6/30/2006 which I need and would love.

It is more for a date range where the begin and end date could fall on
days other than the first of the month.

Thanks again, cheers

scwilly:

The end date problem might be easily solved by changing the formula to
ensure that the end date is the 1st of the next month.

I'm still unclear about the start date. What are some
non-first-of-the-month scenarios and what values would you expect. From
your previous posts I infer that this situation might arise:

StartDate: 1/21/2006
EndDate: 4/19/2006
Occurrences: 4
WeekDay: TUE

What count would you expect and why? Or is that not a valid scenario?

Regards,
Ron

Thank GOD you are still around. I am trying to change the start and stop
dates so that in the formula they don't always have to be the first of
the months.

I looked at the datedif function I don't know how to change it so that
I don't have to use e.g. 1/1/2006, 3/1/2006 etc.

Now that you know I'm thankful you are still around the scenario you
outlined IS what I'm looking for.

I would expect to get 4 thursdays for that range and occurence. Now how
can we change your formula to account for the range you gave me an
example for?

Possibly my last question...

In the example scenario:

StartDate: 1/21/2006
EndDate: 4/19/2006
Occurrences: 4
WeekDay: TUE

You indicated that there would be four 4th-Tuesdays.

I'm guessing that those four 4th-Tuesdays would be:
Jan_24th
Feg_28th
Mar_28th
Apr_25th

If that's true, do you mean that we should use the entire month of the
StartDate and entire month of the EndDate?

Regards,
Ron

Apologies, MS Newsgroupers

For some unknown reason, one click on the ExcelTip forum posting link
results in 3 posts to the newsgroup.

Annoying.
