This works under limited conditions, but fails to satisfy my requirements:
If the 17th falls outside the weekend (M-F), leave it as the 17th. It
instead *always* returns the following Monday.

Thanks for the effort anyway.

I currently use the following formula to return the Friday before the
17th of the month if the 17th falls on a weekend:

=DATE(YEAR(NOW()),MONTH(NOW()),17)-MAX(0,WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(NOW()),MONT
H(NOW ()),17),2)-5)
(Excuse the wrapping, please)

What I would like instead, is a formula to return the date of the
following Monday if the 17th falls on a weekend. I don't want to use
the Workday() function, because the file will often be viewed on
machines that don't have the Analysis Toolpak available.

Simple for someone who knows how(?), but not for me :(
