Calculate first working day of a month

Hello
I need 2 formulas please to calculate
(1) the first working day of a month
So - 1 December 2024 is on a Sunday, I want the returned date to be 2 December 2024.
1 November 2024 is on a Friday, I want returned date to be 1 November 2024.
(2) the first Thursday of a month
So for December 2024, the returned date should be 4 December 2024
This is for a plan with annual recurring tasks. I don't want to have to set up a new plan every year.
I tried using the new AI but it kept saying it couldn't generate the formula based on what I was asking.
regards
aneekah

Hi @aneekahTAL - I use a workday formula for this and depending on the need I use a helper column to connect and cascade sheets (due to sheet row limitations). Hope this helps. 🙂
