Hi Steve, I haven’t tested on anything but December 2011. But it works exactly like JM’s. I’m new to understanding (old to attempting to understand)excel formula’s. I think I get everything except the +0.4999 part. Could you explain?

I was wondering if you could help please. I need a formula to highlight cells that fall on the 1st to 7th , 8th to 15th, 16th to 23rd and 24th to last day of month, for all the dates that gets entered in a cell. I am trying to create a reminder system for patients. The way it works is that when they collect medicines, I enter the date of collection and prepare the next lot 1 week before they come to the pharmacy to collect medications. I want to highlight the cells for patients medicines that are due for collection next week. Thanks

I am tryingto determine which month’s to give a 5th week to. My data is collected every week. I have a grid that displays Weeks as rows and Months as columns. I need to fill in the collected data into this grid. I need to only have 52 weeks. I can not fill in partial weeks. By looking at the calander and counting the extra days I have determined Apr, Jul, Sep and Dec should get these extra weeks (I add up the extra days each month beyond 28, when I get 7 that is the month to give a 5th week). How do I determine this programmatically? Thanks!

EASY WAY....

there is only 7days in a week, the 1st week of the month is 1st-7th of that month, so there for the 2nd week would be 8th-14th,

Using the following formula, you find what day in the date (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10... etc.) and divide by 7 (because there is 7 days in the week.) and the round up to a whole number therefore it tells u what week it is in that month.

=ROUNDUP(DAY(A2)/7,0)

For the four week cycle, are you wanting to restart the cycle on the 5th week monday if it happens to fall in that month? you need a starting date that is a monday,could try this to find the next date...

=(ROUNDUP(((TODAY()-StartDate)/fourweeks),0)*fourweeks)+StartDate

Where "fourweeks" = 28 Days, (7days x 4 weeks)

Try This

=INT((DAY(A1)+(WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1),2))-2)/7)+1

I am looking for something similar. I have my dates and I have my week numbers.
Now I am trying to have a formula that converts the week number to the first day of that week with monday being the first day of the week.

EX. Today is 7/21/2008 and the week is week 30. Week of should be 7/21/2008.

Tomorrow is 7/22/2008 and the week is week 30. Week of should be 7/21/2008.

Even if it was 7/21/2008-07/27/2008 would work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the advise above all work wonderfully, but as is life I'd like more.

I have a planning system that requires the same pattern every four weeks (no 5th week)Is there a formula that can give me a 4 week cycle within a month ,a cycle that will not suddenly start again at the month start.

Product A will be planned on the 1st and 3rd Monday
Product B will be planned on the 2nd and 4th Monday

A five week month would throw this pattern out.

Please help.

Thanks Richard

If you extend your dates to about July 4th you will see your solution skips the 1st week of July and (due to rounding errors) makes it week 2 of the month.
