Formula to return the week ending date

Hi,

I have a column of dates and I need a formula to work out the week ending date from it, assuming the last day of the week is Friday. Can anyone help?

Thanks

    The below should work.

    This assumes you want Saturday to return the next weeks Friday.

    =IF(WEEKDAY([DATE]@row) = 7, [DATE]@row + 6, [DATE]@row + (6 - WEEKDAY([DATE]@row)))

    I've managed to answer my own question. It occurred to me just after posting this. For anyone that's interested the formula is...

    =Date@row + (6 - WEEKDAY(Date@row))

    Adjust that 6 to correspond to the date you want to be counted as your week end date.

    EDIT: This did not work for all days of the week. See Leibel S's answer for the solution

  • Thank you Leibel S. That worked perfectly.

  • Looking for a formula based off of a date column, Sunday through Saturday dates listed, and return the following Saturday (for Sun-Friday) or that exact date if a Saturday is entered.
