Thursdays dates between 04/16/06 - 05/15/06

I need help writing a formula that will tell me what the dates are for the
Thursdays that fall within a specified time period (i.e. 04/16/06-05/15/06).
I would like each date to fall in it's own cell, so there will either be 4
dates of 5 dates depending on the specific month long span of time.

Thank you oh genious ones,
Carla

Use the formula I gave you the other day

=DATE(YEAR($A$1),MONTH($A$1),1+7*ROWS($A$1:A1))-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR($A$1),MON­TH($A$1),8-5))




put 04/16/06 in A1



put the formula in A2 and copy down and you'll get the Thursdays

I did that, and it did give me Thursday dates. Even though I put 04/16/06,
it still gave me dates prior to that. I'm guessing because it is just giving
me the Thursdays in April. I really need it to tell me ONLY the dates that
are Thursdays between (and including) the dates of 04/16/05-05/15/05. Can
that be done?

Thank you again,
Carla

You could try something like this

A1=start date, e.g. 4/16/06
A2 =end date, e.g. 5/15/06
A3
=A1+7-WEEKDAY(A1+2)
A4 and copied down as far as necessary
=IF(A3="","",IF(A3+7>A$2,"",A3+7)

OK, I remember, in your first post you said something about Thursdays in one
month, well put this in A2 and copy down

=$A$1+ROWS($A$1:A1)*7-WEEKDAY($A$1-5)

will give you 04/20/06, 04/27/06 and so on

This one worked beautifully for what I need! Thank you!

Thank you also to PEO, I will keep that formula in the event I need it in
the future!

Peo,

=DATE(YEAR($A$1),MONTH($A$1),1+7*ROWS($A$1:A1))-4

seems to work just as well as

=DATE(YEAR($A$1),MONTH($A$1),1+7*ROWS($A$1:A1))-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR($A$1),MON­TH($A$1),8-5))(well,up to January 5 2096 anyway when both formulas fail with #NUM!)May I ask if you have a particular reason for usingWEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR($A$1),MON­TH($A$1),8-5))I was thinking about something like when you advised Dave Peterson the otherday about using ROWS() rather than ROW()--Regards,SandyIn Perth, the ancient capital of [email protected]@mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk"Peo Sjoblom" <peo.sjoblom@nw^^excelsolutions.com> wrote in messageUse the formula I gave you the other day>>=DATE(YEAR($A$1),MONTH($A$1),1+7*ROWS($A$1:A1))-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR($A$1),MON­TH($A$1),8-5))>>>>> put 04/16/06 in A1>>>> put the formula in A2 and copy down and you'll get the Thursdays>>>>> -->> Regards,>> Peo Sjoblom>> http://nwexcelsolutions.com>>>> "Carla" <[email protected]> wrote in messageneed help writing a formula that will tell me what the dates are for the>> Thursdays that fall within a specified time period (i.e.04/16/06-05/15/06).>> I would like each date to fall in it's own cell, so there will either be4>> dates of 5 dates depending on the specific month long span of time.>>>> Thank you oh genious ones,>> Carla>>

Well, I don't know what happened to my previous post it seems to have got
all
bunched up some how but here is a re-post that is more readable:


Peo,

=DATE(YEAR($A$1),MONTH($A$1),1+7*ROWS($A$1:A1))-4

seems to work just as well as

=DATE(YEAR($A$1),MONTH($A$1),1+7*ROWS($A$1:A1))-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR($A$1),MON­TH($A$1),8-5))

(well,up to January 5 2096 anyway when both formulas fail with #NUM!)

May I ask if you have a particular reason for
usingWEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR($A$1),MON­TH($A$1),8-5))I was thinking about
something like when you advised Dave Peterson the otherday about using
ROWS() rather than ROW()

Sandy,

put May 1st 2006 in A1, do tools>options>calculation and select 1904 date
system
compare

Your version won't work in Excel for Mac or any PC that uses that date
system, your formula will return May 4th 2010 which is a Tuesday and mine
(it's not really mine it was adapted from a formula by Daniel Maher who IMHO
knows date formulas like nobody else) will return May 6th 2010 a Thursday,
which gives that if you send a workbook to somebody using that date system
it will be wrong weekday
