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)

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.

Aplolgies for my elderly moment I gave you a formula for the last Friday of a
minth. For the last working day use

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0)-(MAX(0,WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0),2)-5))
