Weeks

[mort1703]

Hi

I need to create a macro which allows me to enter a month and year.

Using this information I need to work out how many weeks are in the month, using Monday as the first day of the week,

ie.
In April 2009 there are 4 Mondays
In June 2009 there are 5 Mondays

Any suggestions?

Does it need to be a macro, you can do this easily with a formula......put the first of the relevant month in A1 then this formula in B1 gives the Mondays in that month

=INT((WEEKDAY(A1-2)+31-DAY(A1+31))/7)

Hi, There's probably a better way with a bit more thought, but its a start.

Sub Monday()
Dim Dt As String, fdate As Date, Yr As Integer, Mth As String
Dim Mon As Date, c As Integer
On Error Resume Next
 Dt = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Enter Date as E.g. :- April/2009 ", Title:="Number of Mondays", Type:=2)
 If Dt = "" Then Exit Sub
    Mth = Split(Dt, "/")(0)
        Yr = Split(Dt, "/")(1)
            fdate = "1" & " / " & Mth & " / " & Yr

    For Mon = fdate To DateAdd("m", 1, fdate)
        If WeekdayName(Weekday(Mon, vbMonday)) = "Monday" Then
            c = c + 1
            End If
    Next Mon
MsgBox "There Were " & c & " Mondays in " & Dt

End Sub

Hi Mick

I think there is an issue with the code, I get 5 Mondays in MAY/2009 when I should have 4.

I had a deeper look at the code, and the issue seems to be with the FOR LOOP, on the last day of the month it runs through and includes the 1st of the next month as a result it will give an incorrect answer when the last day of the month occurs on SUNDAY, I'm not sure how I modify to stop this happening, If I can stop this I think the code will do the job?

Hi, Slight Oversight !!
Try:-

Sub Monday()
Dim Dt As String, fdate As Date, Yr As Integer, Mth As String
Dim Mon As Date, c As Integer
On Error Resume Next
 Dt = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Enter Date as e.g. :- April/2009 ", Title:="Number of Mondays", Type:=2)
 If Dt = "" Then Exit Sub
    Mth = Split(Dt, "/")(0)
        Yr = Split(Dt, "/")(1)
            fdate = "1" & " / " & Mth & " / " & Yr

    
    For Mon = fdate To (DateAdd("m", 1, fdate) - 1)
        If WeekdayName(Weekday(Mon, vbMonday)) = "Monday" Then
            c = c + 1
            End If
     Next Mon

MsgBox "There were " & c & " Mondays in " & Dt

End Sub

Not well tested, but I believe fairly accurately contrived from Barry's, but VBA:

Sub exCall()
    MsgBox Mondays_Ret(#6/1/2009#)
End Sub
 
Function Mondays_Ret(MyDate As Date) As Long
    Mondays_Ret = Int((Weekday(MyDate - 2, vbSunday) + 31 - Day(MyDate + 31)) / 7)
End Function

If it works, it is Mr. Houdini's, if not, my botch...
