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!
