I am trying to find the last Saturday of the year with excel. There
are a few sites that I visited, but they specify weekdays and I want
saturday.

Thanks,

Last day of "this" year:

=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),12,32)-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),12,32))

Last day of year in A1 (where A1 contains the Year: e.g. 2007, 2008, etc)

=DATE(A1,12,32)-WEEKDAY(DATE(A1,12,32))

Last day of year in A1 where A1 contains a full date (e.g. 3/5/2008)

=DATE(YEAR(A1),12,32)-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),12,32))
