    Return the date of the 1st Friday after a particular date

    I am trying to determine the Friday after a particular date in any given year, but the current formula I have is returning the Friday in the same week of the date it is referencing, rather than the Friday after the specific date;

    Example:

    Saturday April 12, 2014 (Cell D29)

    =D29+(6-(WEEKDAY(D29,1)))

    The value it returns is Friday, April 11, 2014

    I need it to return the Friday after Saturday April 12, 2014 or any given date.

    Please Help!!!!

    Hi Lonnie,

    Does this work?

    =D29+7-WEEKDAY(D29+1)

    If the specific date is a Friday, it will simply return that date. Saturday thru Monday will return the next Friday (not the previous).

    Re: Return the date of the 1st Friday after a particular date

    This will always give you the date of the next Friday:

    =IF(WEEKDAY(D29)>5,7,0)+D29+(6-(WEEKDAY(D29)))

    even if the date in D29 is a Friday. If you don't want that, then change the >5 term to >6.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    To always get the following Friday you can also use this version

    =D29+8-WEEKDAY(D29+2)
