If you want to list those dates you can put
=DATE(2007,ROW(),1)+5-WEEKDAY(DATE(2007,ROW(),1)) or
=DATE(2007,ROW(),6-WEEKDAY(DATE(2007,ROW(),1)))
into row 1, & copy down into rows 2 to 6.

Sorry, correction:
=DATE(2007,ROW(),1)+MOD(5-WEEKDAY(DATE(2007,ROW(),1)),7)

Assuming your 07 dates (commencing 1st Jan) are in A1:A212, enter this
formula in B1:

=AND(DAY(A1)<=7,WEEKDAY(A1)=5)

and copy it down.

Then copy column B and Edit Paste Special Values. And use Replace
(CTRL+H) to replace FALSE with nothing and TRUE with (example) "Monthly
meeting".

Note: you'll probably need the Analysis Toolpak installed (under Tools
Options) to utilise the WEEKDAY function.

Hi David,

I think you could modify your first suggestion so that it works

=DATE(2007,ROW(),8-WEEKDAY(DATE(2007,ROW(),3)))

Thanks Andy

that would work if i was using thing full year as a schedule
following is the first 3 months, you will notice that 1st thursday of every
month is Youth Leaders Meeting; 2nd Friday of every month is Youth Specific
Meeting; 3rd Friday is Youth Social and Last Sunday of every month is Youth
Service. This runs from Feb to November.

I also have this repeated for 6 areas...

Thanks for your help
