Hello

I cannot find a good way to extract this week's monday's date. I want the
sheet to read Today() and return the date of the monday of this week. I
would prefer to NOT do this in VBA but that is an option.

I consider myself a pretty advanced Excel/VBA user so please unload.

I am using Excel 2003 with NO ability to switch versions.

Also, I am generally regarding Monday to start a week, such that the week is
MTWThFSaSu.

Thank you!

If I understand you correctly, this should do what you want:

=A1+1-WEEKDAY(A1+6)

will return the preceding Monday, unless A1 is a Monday, in which case it will
return the same date.

Substitute TODAY() for A1 to work on today's date.
