1st / 2nd / 3rd Days of the week

[rrd_donn]

All, I hope you can assist me. I am encountering an issue using formula to calcuate the 1st / 2nd / 3rd 4th / Mondays - Sunday of each month.

In my spreadsheet cell B2 - M2 has the month (Jan - Dec 2011). From this i need to work out the 1st Monday / 2nd Monday etc etc.

My formula keeps erroring and I cannot workout the weekday function. Can you offer me any advice?.

Many thanks.

Hello, Thankyou for your reply. I'm still struggling to figure it out, if possible a little more help would be great!.

Here is the layout of my spreadsheet.....

A1 B1 C1 D1

Date Device October November

1st Monday Device 1
1st Monday Device 2
1st Saturday Device 3
2nd Sunday Device 4
3rd Sunday Device 5
4th Saturday Device 6
3rd Wednesday Device 7
4th Tuesday Device 8

So I need the date for the 1st Monday to be entered in the October and November columns and then the respective 1st Sat, 2nd Sun etc etc onwards.

One way:

      ---A--- ---B--- ---C---- -------D------- -------E-------
  1   Ordinal Weekday Whatever    Oct-2011        Nov-2011    
  2         1       2          Mon 03 Oct 2011 Mon 07 Nov 2011
  3         1       7          Sat 01 Oct 2011 Sat 05 Nov 2011
  4         2       1          Sun 09 Oct 2011 Sun 13 Nov 2011

Ordinal means 1st, 2nd, ...

Weekday mean Sun=1, Mon=2, ...

In D2 and copied across and down,

=DATE(YEAR(D$1), MONTH(D$1), 1 + ( ($A2 - ($B2 >= WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(D$1), MONTH(D$1), 1)))) * 7) + ($B2 - WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(D$1), MONTH(D$1), 1))))

With respect to Mr. Shg, I think this may be other way.
