Default Weekly or Bi-weekly dates

I don't think that works correctly. Put today's date in A1 and your formula
into B1 (keep the date in P9 as you have it, but make it P$9 because it will
be copied down in a moment). The dates in A1 will represent "today", so
change TODAY() in your formula to A1. Now, copy A1:B1 down. Each line
represents a "today" date and your formula should evaluate to the day of the
week for the date in P9. Unless I have done something wrong, I don't get
dates with the same day of the week as the date in P9 using your formula.

Sorry, this is the correct one for a one week rotation:

=Today()+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(P9,1),1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)

Then, for biweekly, one of these two should work for you

=IF(ISODD(INT((TODAY()-P9)/7)),
TODAY()+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(P9,1),1,2,3,4,5,6,7),
TODAY()+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(P9,1),8,9,10,11,12,13,14))

or

=IF(ISODD(INT((TODAY()-P9)/7)),
TODAY()+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(P9,1),8,9,10,11,12,13,14),
TODAY()+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(P9,1),1,2,3,4,5,6,7))

Not sure if this can be done with simple formula or will this req.
programming:
Please provide example:

Basically, the Start of week can be any give day (ie Friday, or
Sunday, or
Monday).
If the week starts on 2/9/09 (in this case its a Monday), than I
would
like
to show next week will be
(2/16/09) in cell p10

I would like to keep looping this over and over again, as I would
like to
show the new date in cell P10:
so for example if today is Feb 09 2009 (Monday), next week in P10
should
be
2/16/09, but if today is 2/17 or 2/19, than the P10 should read
2/23/09.

If someone starts on Friday -- 2/20/09, next week in P10 should read
2/27/09
and than if I open the spreadsheet on 3/10/09 the date should read
3/13/09.

Also, can i use the same formula if its on a bi-weekly basis? (A
different
sheet)
