Problem with week number/day type formula
 

Hi

I have a formula to work out the week number and day per month..
C1 ="W"&CEILING(DAY(B1)/7,1)&TEXT(WEEKDAY(B1),"DDD") and B1=TODAY( )

It was working fine but today should be W2Mon and the formula gives W1Mon.

Thanks

Wendy

The code is right. Check the data on you PC to make sure your have the right
date set. You should get 8/7 = 1.333 and the ceiling function should round
up to 2.

The problem may be that you were not clear in your specifications. For
example, you wrote:

" 2nd Monday is always W2Mon "

Since today is the First Monday of April, then either you will have two W2Mon's
or you need to rethink your specifications.

From where are you getting the "8"?

With the specifications you have supplied, only by making both yesterday and
next Monday = W2Mon.

You have written:

" 2nd Monday is always W2Mon "

and also:

"It doesn't matter it is the 1st monday in april it is still the start of
week2."

The only way I see to resolve these two statements is to make both yesterday
and next Monday to be W2Mon.

If that is not what you want, then you will have to lay out unambiguous
specifications.
