Hi Forum,
I am trying to create a formula which will calculate the working days date. If column A is having today's date and yesterday's date then result should be same and If column A is having prior to yesterday's date it should show today's date. Below formula is working correct with weekdays but in case if today is Monday it should show Friday to Monday(including Saturday and Sunday) as same date and prior to Friday Today's date.

I have used =IF(OR(A1=($B$1-1),A1=$B$1),A1,$B$1)

30-Jul-1705-Aug-1705-Aug-17
01-Aug-1705-Aug-17
02-Aug-1705-Aug-17
03-Aug-1705-Aug-17
04-Aug-1704-Aug-17
05-Aug-1705-Aug-17

Hi, I will just simplify my query.

'Column A' is having random and repeated dates 'Column B1' is having fixed "Today's date". I require output in 'Column C' as if 'Column A' contains today's date and yesterday's date then it should bring same dates and if 'Column A' contains other dates than it should keep Today's date.

I have used =IF(OR(A1=($B$1-1),A1=$B$1),A1,$B$1)

It
is working correct with weekdays but in case "If Today's date is on Monday it should show Friday to Monday dates (including Saturday and Sunday) as same as "Column A" and other dates should show as Today's date".

Please help on this.

I think it would be more helpful if you provided some sample data and expected output.

There are tools you can use to post screen images. They are listed in Section B of this link here: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/board-a...forum-use.html.
Also, there is a Test Here forum on this board that you can use to test out these tools to make sure they are working correctly before using them in your question.

Give this formula a try - if it doesn’t work for you in any circumstances then please detail what doesn’t work and what the expected result should be

=IF(AND(A1>=WORKDAY($B$1,-1),A1< $B$1),A1,$B$1)
