This works for me. If the date is in cell A1, then B1 might be:

=A1-WEEKDAY(A1)-1

That generated 3/7 through the end of the week, then 3/14.

Assuming that you want the date on Friday to return that Friday's date not
the previous Friday then try:

=A1-(WEEKDAY(A1+3,2))+1

I assume that you do not want to enter a date but just show Fridays date
until the next Friday. This is done with the TODAY and WEEKDAY Functions.
Just be careful with the wrapping when you copy the formula.

=IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY())6,TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY())+6,IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY())<6,TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY())-1,TODAY()))

Do you really want it to return Mar 14 up to Mar 28? or only to Mar 21?

Rereading your question, I'm not sure if you want to return March 14 on March
14, or March 7 on March 14.

If the latter, my first formula will do that.

If the former, then:

=A1+1-WEEKDAY(A1-5)

But he wanted 3/7 until 3/14
