1. How can i set a formula which shows 2nd last Monday of the month?
A1 = 2009/07/10
A2 = 2009/07/20 (a formula which shows 2nd last Monday of the month)

OR

A1 = 2009/07/22
A2 = 2009/08/24 (a formula which shows 2nd last Monday of the month)

There seem to be a number of instances for which this formula returns the Last
Monday, and not the second to last Monday.

For example: 10-May-2009 -- 25-May-2009
January 2010 also -- Last Monday
Feb 2010

Try this instead:

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,-6)-
WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0)-1)
