I put in the month in a cell A1 of lets say 9/1/2003 or September

In cell B1 I want excel to compute the third Friday of that month which in this case is 9/19/2003

Can that be done?

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
=DATE(YEAR(B1),MONTH(B1),14+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(B1),MONTH(B1),1)),6,5,4,3,2,1,7))

3rd Friday of the month :

=A1-DAY(A1)-WEEKDAY(A1-DAY(A1)+2)+22

I think that the 1st Friday preceding the third Wednesday of the month isn't necessarily the same as the 3rd Friday of the month.

For instance this month the 3rd Wednesday is 17th and the Friday preceding that is the 12th, so to get that result

=A1-DAY(A1)-WEEKDAY(A1-DAY(A1)+4)+17

for any date in A1
