Default How do I get a formula to calculate the third Thursday of the

I double checked your formula but did not seem to follow the calender
Thursdays for 2008, so this is what I came up with.

Assuming the 3rd thursday of the first month is entered in B2

=IF(WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(B2),MONTH(B2)+1,1),2)=4,DATE (YEAR(B2),MONTH(B2)+1,1)+14,IF(WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(B 2),MONTH(B2)+1,1),2)4,DATE(YEAR(B2),MONTH(B2)+1,1 )+21-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(B2),MONTH(B2)+1,1),2)+4,DATE(YEA R(B2),MONTH(B2)+1,1)+14+4-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(B2),MONTH(B2)+1,1),2)))
