Enter the starting date in cell A3. This need not be a Friday but it
can be. Then, in A4, enter

=A3+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY($A$3),5,4,3,2,1,0,6)

Then, in A5, enter

=IF(A4=DATE(YEAR(A4),MONTH(A4)+1,0),"",IF(MONTH(A4 )=MONTH(A4+7),A4+7,DATE(YEAR(A4),MONTH(A4)+1,0)))

This will give you a list of all Fridays in the month of the date in
A3, and then the last day of the month in of month in A3, followed by
empty cells. Copy this formula down as far as you need to go.

Hello,
I am trying to generate a list of dates that will give me all the fridays in a month and the last day of the month if it is not a friday. Is there any way to do this. I have been searching around and I can't find the answer. Please help if you can.

For example, taking the month of Feb-10 I would like to get
2/5 Friday
2/12 Friday
2/19 Friday
2/26 Friday
2/28 last day of month

Thanks,
Zten

Hi Jamal,
Please note my formula:

=IF(MOD(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)-1,7)<2,(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)-1)-(MOD(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)-1,7))-1,DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)-1)


It'll work in all versions of Excel. even without addins

Last working day of a month
I am trying to write a formula to show the last working day (working days are
Monday to Friday) of a month based on the date in the previous cell. If A1 =
1/4/08, A2 should show 30/5/08 (Friday). I have tried
DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,DAY(A1)+30). However, this picks up the day in
A1+30. What I want is the last working day of the month not the last day of
the month. I appreciate any help with this formula. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I don't understand how you get 30/5/2008 from 1/4/2008 for the last day of
the month but try this

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0)+1-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0)+2)

or if you have the analysis toolpak addin the simpler

=EOMONTH(A1,0)-MOD(EOMONTH(A1,0)+1,7)

Will return the last working day of the month of date you enter in A1

It appears from your example, that you want the last working day of the month
in the month AFTER the date in A1.

That being the case:

=WORKDAY(EOMONTH(A1,1)+1,-1)

If you want the last working day of the SAME month as in A1, then:

=WORKDAY(EOMONTH(A1,0)+1,-1)

Note that there is an optional Holidays argument for the Workday function, if
you want to take that into account also.

If you receive the #NAME! error, then look at HELP for the WORKDAY function --
it will tell you how to install the Analysis ToolPak.
