Displaying Tuesday's date throughout the week
I'm trying to create a formula in cell A1 that will always display the date
of the Tuesday of the current week. For example, from 1/2/2007 through 1/8/2007, cell A1 would always display 1/2/2007; from 1/9/2007 through 1/15/2007, cell A1 would always display 1/9/2007, etc. I have tried using a combination of the WEEKDAY and MOD functions, but I have been unable to come up with a formula that works. Also, I would prefer NOT to use a UDF if at all possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob |

Displaying Tuesday's date throughout the week
Try this:
=TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY())+3 Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Bob" wrote: I'm trying to create a formula in cell A1 that will always display the date of the Tuesday of the current week.

Displaying Tuesday's date throughout the week
Ron,
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, when TODAY() = 1/7/2007, the date in cell A1 changes to 1/9/2007. The date in cell A1 should not change until it is Tuesday (e.g., 1/9/2007, 1/16/2007, etc.). Please refer to my original question.

Displaying Tuesday's date throughout the week
OK....how about this?
=TODAY()-CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(TODAY()),5,6,0,1,2,3,4) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Bob" wrote: Ron, Thanks for your help.

Displaying Tuesday's date throughout the week
Bob,
Does: =TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY()+5,1)+1 Do what you want? -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings with @tiscali.co.uk "Bob" wrote in message ...

Substitute TODAY() if it does the job for you. --ron |

Displaying Tuesday's date throughout the week
Ron,
Your solution is very similar to Sandy Mann's except that her solution adds 5 days, whereas your solution subtracts 2 days. Either way, you get the same result. Thanks for your help!
