I have some code that may do what you want.

enter 1/1/2009 thru 12/1/2009 in row 1 columns A:L

then run this code:

Sub test()
Dim stdt As Long
Dim dt As Date
Dim wVal As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")
For i = 1 To 12
dt = ws.Cells(1, i).Value
stdt = DatePart("w", DateSerial(Year(dt), Month(dt), 1), vbSunday,
_
vbFirstFullWeek)
If stdt = 4 Then
wVal = 21 + 1
ElseIf stdt 4 Then
wVal = 21 - (stdt - 4) + 1
Else
wVal = 14 + 4 - stdt + 1
End If
ws.Cells(2, i).Value = wVal
Next
End Sub

Try this formula....

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),22)-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),4))

where A1 is assumed to contain any date within the month of interest. Of
course, you may substitute the direct year and month for both of the
YEAR(A1) and MONTH(A1) function calls.

Place thed 1st of the month in A2 this will give the 3rd Wednesday of
that month

=A2+MOD(4-WEEKDAY(A2),7)+14

Find date of 3rd Wed of month
 

I don't think this works if the 1st day of the month is a Wed.

With any date in A1,

=A1-DAY(A1)+22-WEEKDAY(A1-DAY(A1)+4)

will return the third Wednesday of that month.

I just tried it on a couple of April 2009 dates (April 1, 2009 is a
Wednesday) and it worked... can you show me an example month where it fails?

Bob responded with an "oops" message. But he didn't respond to his post.

Ah, I see his "oops" message now... I didn't associate it with this
sub-thread when I first read it.
