Hi,

I have a spreadsheet that gets dates manually inputted into it.
What I need is a formula to return a date 7 days on from the manual input but has to be a Monday, Thursday or Friday.
I.E. Manual input is 1/10/19 or 2/10/19 I would want the returned date to be 10/10/19. Manual input 3/10/19 would return the date 10/10/19, manual input 4/10/19 returned date would be 11/10/19.

Hope this makes sense.
I have tried using a helper column with the function WEEKDAY in it but I am having some brain freeze.

Thanks in advance for any help.

A little shorter:

=WORKDAY.INTL(A1+6,1,"0110011")
