How to calculate day of week occurence in a month?

[TheBeerHunter]

Hello all,


Can someone kindly explain how I can calculate the day of week occurrence in a month? For example, August 7 2012 is the first Tuesday in August, while August 8 2012 is the second Wednesday. How can I easily calculate that?

Welcome to the forum TheBeerHunter


suppose your date is in cell G8


=ROUNDUP(DAY(G8)/7,0)&TEXT(G8," dddd")


Hope it helps

He probably just needs

=ROUNDUP(DAY(G8)/7,0)


But awesome logic on the formula suggestion. GJ!

Yes, thank you both very much for the tips. This got me what I needed (for now...)

Previous formulas should achieve the goal. If you want to dig a little deeper in days of the week, give a look at this file:

Hi!

Nice formula

another variant of the formula to make output look presentable:


=CHOOSE(ROUNDUP(DAY(C2)/7,0),"First","Second","Third","Fourth","Fifth")&TEXT(C2," dddd")
