Default set payment date 28 days after following friday

Sandy,

I read that as if today is a saturday or sunday, start on the next monday,
then goto Friday, then add 28. I think though that by reading it in that
convoluted manner, I concocted a convoluted formula. Your method of getting
the lat Friday and adding 35 seems much more direct.

Bob,

Perhaps it is my reading of the question but surely 28 days after the
following Friday can never be a Saturday or Sunday.

=A1-WEEKDAY(A1-6,1)+35

Seems to return the same date as your formula.
