Default Second Friday

Try this:

With
A1: (reference date)
B1: (the day to find....Sun: 1, Mon: 2, ....Sat: 7)
C1: (the occurance number to find)

To find the nth occurance of the DayNum in B1 that is AFTER the ref date in A1
D1: =A1-WEEKDAY(A1)+(7*(C1))+B1

Example:
A1: Jan-08-2007
B1: 6 (meaning Friday)
C1: 2 (find the 2nd occurance)
D1 returns Jan-19-2007

However.....if you want the nth occurance of the day that is in the MONTH
including the date in A1....
Then
D1: =A1-DAY(A1)-WEEKDAY(A1-DAY(A1))+(7*(C1-1))+B1

Example:
A1: Jan-08-2007
B1: 6 (meaning Friday)
C1: 2 (find the 2nd occurance)
D1 returns Jan-12-2007

Does that help?
