wrote: Thank you. It work beautifully. One more question. I am self tought in Excel so can you please explane the Logic in this function? =A1-6-WEEKDAY(A1-1) The basic idea is that, with a date in A1, the formula A1-WEEKDAY(A1) will return the previous Saturday. Actually, A1-WEEKDAY(A1-DOW) returns the previous Saturday, where DOW = Day Of Week and Sunday = 1; Saturday = 7. But, of course, WEEKDAY(A1) = WEEKDAY(A1-7), so both are the same. DOW becomes important when you want to return a different day than Saturday. So, to return the Monday of the week befo =A1-6-WEEKDAY(A1-6-DOW) -- A1-6-WEEKDAY(A1-6-2) -- A1-6-WEEKDAY(A1-8) Since the weekdays are 1-7 -- A1-6-WEEKDAY(A1-MOD(8,7)) -- A1-6-WEEKDAY(A1-1) --ron |
