Formula to return Friday's date: m/d/yyyy
I'm trying to write a formula to return this Friday's date (Format m/d/yyyy)
If it's a Saturday, I want next weeks Friday to be displayed The following works, but takes 7 cells (each formula is in a different cell) I would like to combine the following into one formula =IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=1,TODAY()+5,"" =IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=2,TODAY()+4,"" =IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=3,TODAY()+3,"" =IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=4,TODAY()+2,"" =IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=5,TODAY()+1,"" =IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=6,TODAY()+0,"" =IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=7,TODAY()+6,"" Value returned: 4/30/200 If I join each line together with an "&" the date is retuned in decimal value, not m/d/yyyy The "number format" of the cell is Category: Date | Type: m/dd/yy (The following is all on one line in my sheet, I broke it up here to make it easier to see =IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=1,TODAY()+5,"") IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=2,TODAY()+4,"") IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=3,TODAY()+3,"") IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=4,TODAY()+2,"") IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=5,TODAY()+1,"") IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=6,TODAY()+0,"") IF(WEEKDAY(NOW())=7,TODAY()+6,"" Value returned: 3810 Maybe there is a better way to write this Any ideas Thanks Austin M.
