How do you calculate the number of weeks on a month
 

Morning from beautiful RSA,

Looking for an excel formula to calculate the number of weeks in a month,
using a date inputted in cell F2 - usually the 1st of the month.

Thanks in advance.

Answer: How do you calculate the number of weeks on a month
 

Calculating the number of weeks in a month using Excel formula

To calculate the number of weeks in a month using an Excel formula, you can use the following formula:

Let me break it down for you:

1. EOMONTH(F2,0) returns the last day of the month based on the date in cell F2.
2. WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(F2,0)-1) returns the day of the week (1-7, where 1 is Sunday) of the last day of the previous month. This is subtracted from the last day of the current month to get the number of days in the current month that fall in the last week of the previous month.
3. DAY(EOMONTH(F2,0)) returns the day of the month of the last day of the current month.
4. Subtracting the number of days in the last week of the previous month from the total number of days in the current month gives you the number of days in the current month that fall in complete weeks.
5. Dividing that number by 7 gives you the number of complete weeks in the current month.
6. Finally, using the ROUNDUP function ensures that any partial weeks are rounded up to the next whole week.

So, to use this formula, simply enter it into the cell where you want the result to appear, replacing "F2" with the cell reference containing the date you want to use. The formula will automatically calculate the number of weeks in the month based on the date you entered.

What is the criteria for a week? Does November have 4 or 5, and how do you
determine?

A criteria for a week is from Sunday to Saturday. So if the 1st is on a
Saturday it is still one week, if the 31st is on a Sunday it is also still
one week.

I hope this makes clearer sense?

Thanks
