I need a formula to find the dates for the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month, and a formula for finding
the date for every Friday for every month.
So I can input the month in A1 and get the results in another cell.
Thank You
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
The first Sunday: =WORKDAY.INTL(DATE(2019,$A$1,0),1,"1111110")


The third Sunday: =WORKDAY.INTL(DATE(2019,$A$1,0),3,"1111110")

How exactly are you inputting the month in A1, just by putting "Jan", "Feb", "Mar" etc?

With the following formula set up in Cells B1 (Drag DOWN column B) and a formula in C1 (Drag DOWN AND ACROSS columns C:F)

B1:
Code:
IF(DAY(WORKDAY.INTL(DATE(2019,MONTH("1/"&$A1),1),1,"1111011"))=8,DATE(2019,MONTH("1/"&$A1),1),WORKDAY.INTL(DATE(2019,MONTH("1/"&$A1),1),1,"1111011"))

C1:
Code:
IF(B1+7>EOMONTH(DATE(2019,MONTH("1/"&$A1),1),0),"",B1+7)

The formula in B1 assumes you are working with the year 2019.

In a similar fashion for 1st and 3rd sunday of a given month try this in cells H1 & I1 (for the month in A1)

H1:
Code:
IF(DAY(WORKDAY.INTL(DATE(2019,MONTH("1/"&$A1),1),1,"1111110"))=8,DATE(2019,MONTH("1/"&$A1),1),WORKDAY.INTL(DATE(2019,MONTH("1/"&$A1),1),1,"1111110"))

I1:
Code:
=H1+14
