I need to find out how many of a certain day are in a given month.
Ex: I need to know how many Thursdays are in each month for a calendar year
so I would need to find how many Thursdays are in Jan, Feb, Mar etc


One way...with any date in A1, this will return the number of Thursdays in that
month:

=IF(MONTH((A1-DAY(A1)+1)-WEEKDAY((A1-DAY(A1)+1))+ 5 +
(7*(WEEKDAY((A1-DAY(A1)+1)) 5 ))+28)=
MONTH((A1-DAY(A1)+1)-WEEKDAY((A1-DAY(A1)+1))+ 5 +
(7*(WEEKDAY((A1-DAY(A1)+1)) 5 ))),5,4)


Change the first four "5"'s to whatever day you wish to count (Sunday = 1,
Monday = 2, etc.), leaving the last 5 and 4 alone.
