    How do I change the formula to show the previous wednesday day from todays date

    Hi I have a formul that looks at a text day and a start date and produces the date relvent to the text day.

    I need the formula to show the previous date from the text entry.

    =A2+INT(FIND(LEFT(A6,3),"MonTueWedThuFriSatSun")/3)

    A2 is the start date

    A6 is the text day

    So if I enter Wednesday with todays date as the start date the display would read 02/07/14

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi JD,

    Crude but effective, as long as the date you want is seven days or less...

    cheers

    Nice but is there anything more compact.
