hi
I want to know the formula that will lookup criteria of weekday (B1) and refer my inpnut date (A4), then it will return the next closest date of the weekday I set.

Myabe i cannot explain clearly, let's see my table and return column is the date I want excel to return. Can a simple formula do that for me? thank you
Book1
ABCD
1CutWed

48-Oct9-Oct
59-Oct9-Oct
610-Oct16-Oct

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
There must be easier ways to do it than this, but it's the first thing I came up with. Uses a lookup table to associate your 'Wed' etc entries with numbers:

=IF(WEEKDAY(A4,2)<(VLOOKUP($B$1,$F$1:$G$7,2,0)+1),A4-WEEKDAY(A4,2)+VLOOKUP($B$1,$F$1:$G$7,2,0),A4-WEEKDAY(A4,2)+VLOOKUP($B$1,$F$1:$G$7,2,0)+7)

See the example:

610-Oct16-OctSat6

830-Oct30-Oct
931-Oct6-Nov

Seems to work...
