date of last friday of previous month
I am trying to figure out how to compute the following: user enters in a date in A1. B1 needs to calculate the month prior. C1 needs to calculate the last friday of the month prior to B1. so if A1 is 11/14/2005, B1 should be October 2005 C1 should be 9/30/2005 I know how to do B1. I am having a hard time with C1.

Thanks in advance One problem -- 30 Oct 2005 was a Sunday. Do you want the last Sunday of the prior month or the last Friday. B1: =A1-DAY(A1) Format as: mmmm yyyy C1: =B1+1-WEEKDAY(B1+2) will give the last Friday of the month prior to the month in A1 If you want the last Sunday of the month, then: C1: =B1+1-WEEKDAY(B1) --ron |

I got results with this formula in C1:
=B4-MOD(WEEKDAY(B4)+1,7) |

The MOD function seems superfluous as WEEKDAY effectively performs a MOD function by itself. =B4+1-WEEKDAY(B4+2) will return the same value as your formula. --ron |
