Formula

I have a drop down menu in a spreadsheet for frequency. I’m trying to calculate for the 3rd Wednesday of the month bc that’s when I receive a certain income. How would I go about this?!

    Hi,

     

    The date of 3rd Wednesday of a month depends on the last day of the previous month:

    If the last day of the previous month was Sunday, 3rd Wednesday of this month is 17th. Likewise,

    Monday - 16th

    Tuesday - 15th

    Wednesday - 21st

    Thursday - 20th

    Friday - 19th

    Saturday - 18th

     

    So, here's a simple formula to calculate the date of 3rd Wednesday of the month:

    =CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)),17,16,15,21,20,19,18)

    (Replace "TODAY()" with an appropriate date as needed.)

     

    Hope this works!
