Here's one way:

With
A1: (a date)

The second Friday of the month containing the date in A1
B1: =A1-DAY(A1)+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(A1-DAY(A1),2),11,10,9,8,14,13,12)

Does that help?

I'm trying to come up with a formula that can reference a cell containing
date data and tell me what the 2nd friday of that month would be.

I.E. Cell Value = 10/02/2006; formula would say Friday, October 13, 2006.
