Thank you for the shorter versions. I did plug in the formula to the existing spots, and it's giving the same result. An example is the week of 11/13. For Friday 11/17, my 6th day is 11/29, my 8th day is 12/1, which is a Friday, so that day got backed to Thursday 11/30. This only gives me 1 day between the 2 end dates. So I would need my 6th date to backdate, but only if there is only 1 day between the 2.
Sorry! I am in no way any kind of excel pro at all. I'm lucky to have even gotten my dates to where they are by using some formulas borrowed from another spreadsheet at work.

Yes, indeed.
- JenniL0211Dec 08, 2023Copper ContributorYou are amazing! Thank you so much! Did you learn how to do the formulas on your own or take a class? Excel is still one of those things that I can work around but with a lot of help from Google LOL
