I need to calculate the (for example) first Wednesday of every month, given
the date April 5, 2006 is entered in a cell. How do I calculate the new
date, the first Wednesday in May (May 3, 2006)?

This will work. Currently outputs the first Wednesday of the month of the
date entered in cell A1.

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1+MOD(4-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1)),7))

If you have April 5, 2006 in A1 then in A2 copied down use this formula

=A1+35-(DAY(A1+28)<9)*7
