Question : From a given date find the nearest Friday.

Hi,

I need a formula that takes a given date and finds the nearest friday to that date.

For example.

Cell A1 contains 11/08/2010 so cell B1 would show 13/08/2010
or maybe cell A1 contains 9/8/2010 so B1 would be 6/8/2010 and so on.

Cheers

Answer : From a given date find the nearest Friday.

I think that will give the wrong result if A1 is a Monday, abhimail2002, e.g. for 9th August it gives 13th not 6th, try

=A1+4-WEEKDAY(A1-2)
