Not sure what the "+" are for but it works without them:

=("01-"&A1)+MATCH(1,--(TEXT(("01-"&A1)+{0,1,2,3,4,5,6},"ddd")=LEFT(A2,3)),0)-1

Try something like this:

With
A1: (a month name)
A2: (a day name)

A4:
=+("01-"&A1)+MATCH(1,--(TEXT(+("01-"&A1)+{0,1,2,3,4,5,6},"ddd")=LEFT(A2,3)),0)-1

A5: =A4+7
Copy that formula down as far as needed

Example:
A1: February
A2: Tuesday

A4: returns February 06, 2007

Is that something you can work with?

I need to return the correct date based on the day of week and month of
year.
e.g.
in A1 I type January
in A2 I type Monday

in A4 I want the result 1 Jan 2007
in A5 I want 8 Jan 2007
etc.
So that if I change either the month or day in A1 or A2, the results will
change automatically.
Please can anyone help? This is driving me mad!!
Thanks
