I am building a list of events that occur on set weekends each year and trying to calculate the dates of each event moving forward.

This is the base formula I am using (where E2 is the Year) and adjusting the weeks and months as needed:
=DATE($E$2,6,1)+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE($E$2,6,1)),6,5,4,3,2,1,0)

This is working until mid-June 2024. Please help me understand why June 15 and 16 are not playing nice and what I need to do to make it work for 2024 and forward.

Thanks in advance!

It is not all clear how your various formulae relate to the question.

Can you describe in words what you're trying to do?

Based on your description, I assume this means something like: Find the first weekend in June in any year, where first weekend means the Saturday of that weekend is the first Saturday of the month?

Take 2:
I have a list of events that take place on a set weekend each year. The actual dates they take place float from year to year and are not static, like the 4th of July.

Below are some of the events and their dates in 2024. I borrowed the formula for calculating annual holiday dates and figured I could use it to calculate each year's event dates.

For the first 4 events on the list, using the =DATE($E$2,3,1)+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE($E$2,3,1)),6,5,4,3,2,1,0)

I can calculate that their dates in 2025 will be March 1 & 2.

I want to be able to do this for all of the event dates annually for 2025, 2026, 2027 etc.

Sorry for the late reply. I didn't get a message when you posted back.

Here's a general solution to determining the Nth occurrence of a particular day in a particular year/month.
