Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
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))

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)

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 {}.
