find date of last weekday of a month

[TUNGANA KURMA RAJU]

I need a function/formula to get date of last friday of a month.
if cell A1=10-OCT-2006 --- RESULT IN cell B1=27-OCT-2006
if cell A1=01-SEP-2006 ----RESULT IN CELL B1=29-sep-2006.

Here's one way:

Array entered (CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER):

=MAX(IF(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&A1+32-DAY(A1+32))),2)=5,ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&A1+32-DAY(A1+32)))))

This one's a few keystrokes shorter but requires the Analysis ToolPak
add-in:

=MAX(IF(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&EOMONTH(A1,0))),2)=5,ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&EOMONTH(A1,0)))))

Thank you Biff, I want another tough task to achieve.
Month end(last) thursday of a month is expirydate of a product.If I buy the
product before or last thursday of the month the expiry date is date of the
last thursday.The new expiry cycle starts from last friday.How to write a
formula to achieve this.
Example:
cellA1(Buy date) -------------------------------Cell B1(Expiry date)
01-OCT-2006------THE RESULT WILL BE ----- 26-OCT-2006
25-OCT-2006 ------ ------DO------------------26-OCT-2006
26-OCT-2006------ ----------DO------------------26-OCT-2006
27-OCT-2006----- ----------DO------------------30-NOV-2006
29-NOV-2006-----------------DO------------------30-NOV-2006
01-SEP-2006------------------DO-----------------28-SEP-2006
01-DEC-2006-----------------DO------------------28-DEC-2006

A straight-forward way

=IF(A1>MAX(IF(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&A1+32-DAY(A1+32))),2)=5,ROW(INDIRE
CT(A1&":"&A1+32-DAY(A1+32))))),
MAX(IF(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1+7&":"&A1+39-DAY(A1+39))),2)=5,ROW(INDIRECT(A1
+7&":"&A1+39-DAY(A1+39))))),
MAX(IF(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&A1+32-DAY(A1+32))),2)=5,ROW(INDIRECT(A1&"
:"&A1+32-DAY(A1+32))))))

if cell A1=01-SEP-2006 ----RESULT IN CELL B1=29-sep-2006.

Another option:

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)-(MOD(MOD(WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1))-1,7)+1,7)+1)

The generic formula is:

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)-(MOD(MOD(WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1))-1,7)+X,7)+1)

If Sunday = weekday number 1:
X = 6,5,4,3,2,1,0 for last Sunday, Monday, Thuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday
or put another way:
X = 7 - weekday number

I think you can eliminate the MOD functions as WEEKDAY already effectively does
a MOD 7

(MOD(MOD(WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1))-1,7)+1,7)+1) =

WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1))+1

You are right. Thanks, Ron!
