I have a meeting that occurs every Thursday. What formula would I put into a cell that would automatically give me the date of the next meeting?

Thanks!

One option: Enter the first date in a cell such as A10, then in an adjacent
cell enter the formula =A10+7 & copy using the fill handle for as many weeks
as necessary.

Bob:

I think I need to provide you with more information. I should have been clearer. Sorry.

I need this calculation to take place in one cell. I'll use an example:

I have a meeting on Thursday Nov 5 2009. I then have my next meeting on Thursday Nov 12 2009. On Wednesday Nov 4 2009, the cell should read "Thursday Nov 5 2009". When the "today's date" changes to Friday Nov 6 2009, the cell should read "Thursday Nov 12 2009".

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Yes, it is possible, something similar to this might do it:

=IF(WEEKDAY(NOW(),3)<4,NOW()+(7-WEEKDAY(NOW(),3)),NOW()+1+WEEKDAY(NOW(),3))

Note that it is too late at night, my brain has stopped working. You may
have to play with that to get it to work right.

Are you SURE you shouldn't be doing this in Entourage? Smile

Cheers
