[mso] Excel function - correction

Johan mailed me offlist to point out a problem in the formula I posted
yesterday, which produced for him the interesting date range of "29 - 33
December 2003". Here's the reply I sent him with a corrected formula,
just in case anyone else was following this one...


Yes, my fault, The formula has one crucial number in the wrong place.
Instead of:

=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","
November","December")&" "&YEAR(L9+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(L9),1,7,6,5,4,3,2))

- it should read:

=DAY(L9+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(L9),1,7,6,5,4,3,2))&" -
"&DAY(L9+4+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(L9),1,7,6,5,4,3,2))&"
"&CHOOSE(MONTH(L9+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(L9),1,7,6,5,4,3,2)),"January","February
","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","
November","December")&" "&YEAR(L9+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(L9),1,7,6,5,4,3,2))

Now it will work properly.

Apologies,

Ray
