    Thank you for the formula. I had a question about it. It does work for 2016, but when entering 1/12017, it identifies the first Monday of the month to be 1/9/17, when it's actually 1/2/17. Am I misunderstanding the formula's intent? Meaning, should I enter a different date to pull the 1/2/17 date?

    Thanks again for the help.

      Did not work for me on every Monday that was in a month with the first day being a Sunday,

      Given A1 is the first of the month "1/1/2020" or "1/2/2020" etc, This did work for me:


      =A1+MOD(8-WEEKDAY(A1,2),7)

      It worked for me.. fo rFridays

      A1= 06/01/2017 B1= 13/01/2017= IF(WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(A1,-1)+1)=6,EOMONTH(A1,-1)+1,EOMONTH(A1,-1)+(8 + MOD(6,7))-WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(A1,-1)+1))

      20/01/2017 = IF(WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(B1,-1)+1)=6,EOMONTH(B1,-1)+1,EOMONTH(B1,-1)+(8 + MOD(6,7))-WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(B1,-1)+1))+7


      27/01/2017=IF(WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(C1,-1)+1)=6,EOMONTH(C1,-1)+1,EOMONTH(C1,-1)+(8 + MOD(6,7))-WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(C1,-1)+1))+
