Is there a forumla to enter into a cell which can report for e.g.


a) the date of the first monday of the month?
b) the first working day of the week?

Starting with the simpiest looking formulas, I'm trying:
=A1+MOD(8-WEEKDAY(A1,2),7)

Can you help me to understand why 8 is subtracted from WEEKDAY?
