Trying to return a future weekday (Wednesday) in 2 weeks when A1 = reference date. I used =A1+14-WEEKDAY(A1+14-4). It works in all cases EXCEPT when the reference date in A1 is also a Wednesday. If the date in A1 is a Wednesday, the return date ends up being only 1 week in the future instead of 2. Any ideas how to correct without having to change the formula for just the days with a reference date falling on a Wednesday?

We are trying to track action dates so that we can follow up in 2 weeks. The return date doesn’t HAVE to be a Wednesday, but I want to be able to sort them by priority so we can see all of the items to follow up on for the week and Wednesday felt like the easiest day since it’s in the middle of the week. So as long as I know we follow up on any day in the same week as the return date, we are good. But I am trying to allow for some flexibility in the follow up date, so I don’t necessarily want the return date to just be two weeks in the future from the reference date, if that makes sense?

Just find the next Wednesday and add 7.
Here is the formula
= A1 +10 - weekday( A1, 2) + 7
Where A1 has the starting date

Note: I put 2 in parameter for weekday because it’s easier to have weeks starting with Monday =1, but you can use any. Need to adjust the 10 though

Thank you!! This appears to have worked for all my input dates (including Wednesdays)!

Here’s one way to do it. If you want to change your follow up day, you’d simply update the corresponding number and columns G/H should update.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

I’m helping my GF with excel and need help lol. She works at a hospital and is trying to make an excel schedule for doctors to reserve rooms. She wants drop downs for days of the week (column K) and also different drop down menus in column P for the reserved time slots.

Is it possible to do this with two sets of drop downs (days of week + time slots) and not use index match here? She could make 5 tables for each day of the week, but prefers one table that can be easily navigated by doctors.
