Johan,
My teacher always used to say, "Never apologise for asking a question."
Good advice.
As I understand it, you have today's date in cell L9 and have to put
your result in cell A4.
If that's the case, try this in A4:
=DAY(L9+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(L9),1,7,6,5,4,3,2))&" -
"&DAY(L9+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(L9),1,7,6,5,4,3,2))+4&"
"&CHOOSE(MONTH(L9+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(L9),1,7,6,5,4,3,2)),"January","February
","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","No
vember","December")&" "&YEAR(L9+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(L9),1,7,6,5,4,3,2))
It's a bit of a monster, but it does the job. If today is a Monday, the
formula will automatically go to NEXT Monday. If you want it to use the
present date instead, change all the 7s to zeros.
Ray

Hi Ray & Haldun
Thank you very, very much for this dearly appreciated Information.
Now, if I may stretch the envelope just a little further, <smile>
In a weekly report, I use cell "A4" for the reports duration dates
e.g. "01 - 05 January 2003" where the start date always will be on a
Monday and end date on a Friday.
I know I can Use the formula you've so kindly helped me with in e.g.
"A2" and the "-" in "A3" and use a similar formula in "A5,A6 and "A7"
to get the desired date format as above, with just changing each
cell's custom formatting, because in cell "L9" I have the formula
"-TODAY()", to refer my new formula to.=20
However in this template I can only use "A4" for this purpose.=20
Would there possibly be some way of using this formula to get the
desired result in only one Cell?
With Kind Regards
Johan
