    Date : Upcoming Fridays

    I created a master document to use each week to input jobs employees have completed. I am using:

    =TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),3)+IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY(),3)>4,11,4)

    to display the upcoming Friday's date in a cell. However if I open up this saved document 3 weeks later to print it, it changes the date.

    What can be done to keep it from changing once the date actually gets here.

    Re: Date : Upcoming Fridays

    Not a lot with the existing formula. TODAY() is a volatile function and will change as the date changes.

    You would be better using the Excel shortcut key combination Ctrl-; (that is the Ctrl key pressed with the semi-colon key) to enter the current date into a specific cell, say, cell A1.
