I found the right formula I need on a site (that didn't explain it :crash:). Between this and other examples, I can't piece enough together to wrap my head around it. Two hours of googling and I'm done!

This gives me the first Monday (obviously you probably already know that) and I'm wanting to adapt it to Thursday. I understand the Date part. I get the rest, but really how they work together. If someone has time to explain that would be AWESOME! If not, a simple modification on how to adapt to to be Thursday instead would be appreciated!! BTW.... B2 has a year in it (2019).



=DATE(B2,1,1)+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(B2,1,1),2),0,6,5,4,3,2,1)
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Try
=DATE(B2,1,1)+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(B2,1,1),2),3,2,1,0,6,5,4)

DATE(B2,1,1) returns 1/1/2019
which gives
WEEKDAY(1/1/2019,2) which will give the day of the week based on Monday being 1, Tuesday 2 etc in this case 2
which then gives
CHOOSE(2,3,2,1,0,6,5,4) which will then choose the 2nd value from the numbers in blue in this case 2
which will then be added to date to give 3/1/2019
