I saw Barry Houdini's formula to calculate the 4th Friday in January of any year (A5 "=A4-DAY(A4)+29-WEEKDAY(A4-DAY(A4)+2)" (my date was in A4), but when I applied his second formula ("=A5+28+(DAY(A5+28)<22)*7") to record the 4th Friday of the following months by pasting into A6, I received only the numeric value of the date.
What do I need to do to show the actual date 25th February,25th March etc?

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Please ignore my post. I have revisited my spreadsheet and it is working now. Don't know what I did before but it's all OK now

If you see the serial number of a date again all you need to do is format the cell as a date format again.

Also, you can use this formula:

=WORKDAY.INTL(A4-DAY(A4),4,"1111011")
