Formula to return date of following Friday

[Guest]

Excel 2002
I would like a formula that returns the date of the following Friday.

So if today is 11/14/2007 (american version of date), then it would return
11/16/2007

If today is a Friday, then it should return the next Friday.

Thanks in advance!
regards

Any of these should work for you:
=TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),1)+6

=TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY()-6)+7

=TODAY()+6-MOD(WEEKDAY(TODAY())+7,7) < -- Note: if today is Friday, it
shows today's date

=TODAY()+7-MOD(WEEKDAY(TODAY())+1,7) < -- Note: if today is Friday, it
shows today's date


Hope that helps,

With a date in A1

This formula returns the date of the NEXT Friday:
=A1-WEEKDAY(A1)+6+(WEEKDAY(A1)=6)*7

Does that help?

Try:

=A1-WEEKDAY(A1-4,2)+8
