Determining a future date...

[Guest]

Hello.

I have a situation where I need to calculate a date out three years from a
given start date. For example, I have a date, say 6/8/2005, and I want to
know what the three year anniversay date is from this date, to inlcude
compensating for leap years. I have played with the date functions and tried
to formulate a formula to solve this, but to no avail. Any ideas would be
helpful.

Thank you.

NWO.

I need help; I have a date in column B, the formula in Column C is
=b5-14, this returns another date.

If that day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, I'd like the returned value
to be the previous Friday.

I can't figure out how to do this.

Can you help?

=B5-14-(WEEKDAY(B5,2)>5)-(WEEKDAY(B5)=1)

Still need help, I used the suggested formula and it didn't work for
me.

Specifically
Column B = Feb 04 06
Column C = b1-14 = Jan 21 06

This result is a Saturday. I want it to give me Friday's date = Jan 20
06.

Sherry,

Only just spotted this post.

In what way does it not work? It returned 20th Jan for me, which is a
Friday.

spreadsheet and you give it a look? I don't know why it would work fo
you and not me
