As I said elsewhere in the thread, we all make mistakes. In changing the
formula when you said you didn't want TODAY(), the +1 got missed.
It should, of course, have been
=DATE(YEAR(A1)+1,1,1)-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1)+1,1,1))
Apologies for the confusion.

If you want the last Saturday of the year, given a date in A1, all you
need to do is change the TODAY() in my formula to A1, in other words:
=DATE(YEAR(A1),1,1)-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),1,1))

I don't know what you think your formula below is doing, but it returns a
Saturday only once every 6 or 7 years. I'm glad you're happy with it!

David,
Yours goes from TODAY() and not from any year. It is close though. I
came up with this one to do last Saturday of the month. This will get
me close enough.

Thanks,
Jay
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0)-
(MAX(0,WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,2),1)-5))

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,
