Suppose you have the starting date in cell B1 and the number of months you need in cell B2, then this formula gives you a series of vertical dates 3rd day of the months:
Excel Formula:
=LET(dates,DATE(YEAR(B1),MONTH(B1)+SEQUENCE(B2,1,0),3),IF((WEEKDAY(dates)=1)+(WEEKDAY(dates)=7)>0,dates+1,dates))

Try this ARRAY formula . Since version is 2010
A1=Month, B1=Year.
Excel Formula:
=DATE(B1,A1,1)+SMALL(IF(WEEKDAY(DATE(B1,A1,1)+{0,1,2,3},2)<7,{0,1,2,3},""),3)
To enter ARRAY formula
Copy and paste the formula in cell
Press F2
Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter together
Excel covers the formula with {}.

Hi Rajesh,

Welcome to the group.

If your date is in cell A1, you can use the below formula to get the 3rd working date of that month :

Excel Formula:
=WORKDAY.INTL(EOMONTH(A1,-1),3,11)

Suppose you have the starting date in cell B1 and the number of months you need in cell B2, then this formula gives you a series of vertical dates 3rd day of the months:
Excel Formula:
=LET(dates,DATE(YEAR(B1),MONTH(B1)+SEQUENCE(B2,1,0),3),IF((WEEKDAY(dates)=1)+(WEEKDAY(dates)=7)>0,dates+1,dates))
thank you for your response
