    Counting How Many Saturdays

    I suspect this will be very simple for someone out there ....

    I have a spreadsheet for my lottery syndicate at work. I need to calculate how many £1's to take out of everyone's salary each month for the following month's lottery syndicate.

    Therefore, I'd like to be able to automatically calculate how many saturdays there are in a month.

    E.G.

    July 2013 4
    Aug 2013 5
    Sep 2013 4

    etc etc etc

    Thank you

    Nikki

    If you have the 1st of the month in A1 then you can use this formula to give the number of Suturdays in that month

    =4+(DAY(A1+34)< WEEKDAY(A1-7))

    The 7 at the end indicates Saturdays. Change as required for a count of other days of the week


    Edit:This is a DDL formula many(4) years ago...
