formulas populating dates - 1st Tuesday
I have a start date that varies - and I need a formula that populates the
first Tuesday each month. I have tried several different formulas but they all get messy due to some months being 4 weeks and others 5 weeks. Any suggestions on which formula to try? Thanks so much! A1= 1/6/07 Each month needs to be the first Tuesday of the month. |

See if this works :-
On cell A2 type : =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1) and copy it all the way down Then on cell B2 type this array formula (Ctrl+shift+Enter) =SUM(IF(WEEKDAY(A2+(ROW(INDIRECT("1:7"))-1))=3,DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),(ROW(INDIRECT("1:7") ))))) and copy it all the way down "Jessica" wrote: I have a start date that varies - and I need a formula that populates the first Tuesday each month.

Here are two formulas that accomplish what you want. The first formula works
across columns to make column headings and the second works down rows to produce row headings. In this example you put a date in A1. The only important part of this date is the year. In A2 you put the day of the week you want with 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday .... 6 = Saturday. In A3 you put which occurrence in the month you want 1 = first, 2 = second, .... 5 = fifth. You must be careful with occurrence to insure the occurrence is valid. For example the only way to have a 5th Wednesday in February is in a leap year. With the following formulas, put them in the cell of your choosing, format that cell, then drag the formula across 11 more columns in the case of the column formula or down 11 more rows in the case of the row formula. The column formula is: =DATE(YEAR($A1),COLUMN(A1),1)+$A2-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR($A1),COLUMN(A1),1))+($A3-($A2=WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR($A1),COLUMN(A1),1))))*7 The row formula is: =DATE(YEAR(A$1),ROW(A1),1)+A$2-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A$1),ROW(A1),1))+(A$3-(A$2=WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A$1),ROW(A1),1))))*7 "Jessica" wrote in message ...

Here are two formulas that accomplish what you want. They are general
purpose and are easy to change to other days and other occurrences. In A1 you put any date in the year. The only important part of this date is the year. In A2 you put the day of the week you want with 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday ...... 6 = Saturday. In A3 you put the occurrence of the day in the month with 1 = first, 2 = second .... 5 = fifth. The only thing you must be careful of is to ensure the occurrence number is valid. For example, the only way there can be 5 occurrences of any day of the week in February is when February is a leap year. You enter the formulas in the cell of your choosing, format the result and drag the formula across 11 more columns in the case of the column formula or down 11 more rows in the case of the row formula. The column formula: =DATE(YEAR($A1),COLUMN(A1),1)+$A2-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR($A1),COLUMN(A1),1))+($A3-($A2=WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR($A1),COLUMN(A1),1))))*7 The row formula: =DATE(YEAR(A$1),ROW(A1),1)+A$2-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A$1),ROW(A1),1))+(A$3-(A$2=WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A$1),ROW(A1),1))))*7 `"Jessica" wrote in message ...

Hello Jessica,
If A1 contains the first of any month then this formula in A2 will give you the first Tuesday of that month =A1+7-WEEKDAY(A1-3) then to get each subsequent first Tuesday use this formula in A3 copied down =A2+28+7*(DAY(A2+35)<8) "Dave Thomas" wrote: Here are two formulas that accomplish what you want.
