Hi,
I'm using the formula =G2-(IF(WEEKDAY(G2)>1,WEEKDAY(G2)-2,6)) to convert a date to the first day of that week (Monday), kindly suggested by Schwarzmanne.

I want to amend this to avoid the 'negative dates or times are displayed as ####' error that appears if any cells are blank.

Anyone help?

Thanks,
Doug.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
To avoid #### if G2 is blank you can use Richard's formula and format cell with formula as

dd/mm/yy;;

or amend to

=IF(G2="","",G2-WEEKDAY(G2,3))
