The closest "specific day" to a specific date.
In this case (of course the day will change in some cases) I want to know
what is the the closest "thursday" from a specific date. In A1 i have 10/14/08.... in B1 i have "thursday"..... In C1 i want to know which is the closest Thursday from A1.. The answer to this should be 10/16/08.. Is there a formula for this? |

The closest "specific day" to a specific date.
A couple of questions:
What if the date in A1 *is* Thursday? What if the date in A1 was for a Friday, would you want the Thursday date that has just passed or do you want the *next* Thursday date? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Jman" wrote in message ...

1st question... If A1 is "Thursday". It shoud stay the same.
2nd question... If it is "Friday" it should be the Thursday that has passed. The next one is too far away. "T. Valko" wrote: A couple of questions: What if the date in A1 *is* Thursday?

Ok, I'm not certain I understand what you want.
Maybe this: A1 = some date B1 = some weekday like Thursday =MATCH(LEFT(B1,2),{"Mo","Tu","We","Th","Fr","Sa"," Su"},0)-WEEKDAY(A1,2)+A1 That will return the date of the weekday in cell B1 based on the week date in cell A1. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Jman" wrote in message ... 1st question...
