Default Find the Date of the Next Friday

Ah! Yep, I think it was something like that. I seem to remember that the
solution I came up with a couple of years ago worked by using MOD, and then
figuring out the day based on the remainder returned. So it was probably
something very much along the lines of what you've suggested.

*may* include use of the MOD() function.


Hi. You may be thinking of this, where the '6 represents your "Friday"

=A1+MOD(6-WEEKDAY(A1),7)

If the question was about Thursday, change '6 to '5.

Wow! My recollection on how to do that was way off! ;-)

Thanks for the help. I've added your formula to my file and it works
perfectly.

I found a formula on the Internet that works.

=TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY())+IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY())6,13,6)

Anyone have a better way of doing this?

As Rick wrote, merely substitute TODAY() for A1 in the formula I
previously
posted.

=A1+7-WEEKDAY(A1+1)

or put TODAY() in A1 or some other cell to be referenced.

The formula I posted can be generalized to:

=A1+7-WEEKDAY(A1+7-DOW)

where DOW is Day Of Week and 1=Sun,2=Mon...6=Fri,7=Sun
