The Tueday prior to a holiday...
 

If I have holidays identified with an H in the A column, I need to find the
prior Tues, from the Sat prior to the holiday.
Basically I need to find the Sat prior to the holiday, then go back 4 days.
I'd like the results to show in the D column like ALERT.

Thanks,

Steve

In those instances, I'd have to manually change the H code to Friday, and
same thing for a Sun - Monday.

The Tuesday prior to a holiday...
 

Hi. I may have read this wrong, but it looks like to me with

OR(A6="H",A7="H",A8="H",A9="H",A10="H",A11="H",A12 ="H")

You are returning TRUE if 1 or more are "H"

I believe this also returns True if 1 or more are "H"

COUNTIF(A6:A12,"H")0)

I don't see the error just yet... :~

The Tuesday prior to a holiday...
 

Yes, they are both producing TRUEs, but the 2 suggestions you originally made
are producing, if I expand it through the entire year, 52 ALERTs for every
Tuesday.
I may not have been very clear, but The H coding was corresponding to
Holidays, so I wanted to have those alerts only on the Tuesdays prior to the
Saturdays where the holiday fell. Meaning only 10 alerts on those particular
Tuesdays, if there were 10 coded H's.

Thanks,

Steve
