Hi,
I have a column with a week number (15 for example) and i would like to
return this number in the format of date. Better: it has to be the
Friday
of
this week number.
Example : Week Date
15 07/04/2006

Hope that somenone can help me.
Tkanks,
Barbara

Don,
It gives an error on (2006,1,1). How can I fix it?


What sort of error are you seeing?
The formula seems to work for me. Note that it gives 14/4/06 for week 15,
not 7/4/06 as you had suggested. [Week 1 gives 6/1/06] You may need to be
careful about what sort of week numbers you are using, see:
