Date: Is it possible to get the last Friday of each month?

Hello all, I am trying to create a column of dates which are a specific day in each month, e.g. the last Friday of every month, or the first Monday of every month. Is this possible, and if so could you please guide me on how to?
Thanks
James

James,
My thought was that you would create an array of dates with this table and Copy/Paste Values it into the range where you need it.
What I did was build a table of controls, below, where I set the year and what day of the week you were interested in and the top table will compute the dates. I used direct entry for the year and a POP-UP menu for day of the week.
The 4th 'Friday' formula is: =IF(Controls :: $C>$C, $B+Controls :: $C-$C+21, $B+Controls :: $C-$C+28)
The Last 'Friday' formula is: =IF((G+7)>EOMONTH(B, 0), G, G+7)
The formula in the Header Row is: ="4th "& Controls :: $B , etc.
There is no reason you couldn't transpose the table to have your Last Fridays in a row rather than in a column. I don't think I noticed that requirement in your original post.
And, there's no reason to have a fancy control panel if you don't think you'll ever need to create another series of dates. Just substitute values for the references to the control table.

  • Why doesn't the Calendar allow one to schedule the last Friday of each month?

    Why doesn't the Calendar allow for making repeating appts. like the 1st Saturday of each month or the last Friday of each month?  This is such fundamental functionality. Virtually all other third-party calendar apps include this feature. I was very disappointed this wasn't addressed in iOS 5.  Hopefully an Apple Support person sees this...

  • How to get the last day of a month?

    HI,
    I want to know how to get the last day of a month.
    In my JClient form, I tried to get it by using oracle.sql.Date method, that is:
    lastday=oracle.sql.Date anydate.lastDayOfMonth();
    But it does not work. The result is lastday=anydate.
    Why?
    Stephen

    You can use the Calender class...
    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    and then something like...
    c.add(c.MONTH, 1);
    int dayOfMonth = c.get(Calender.MONTH);
    c.add(c.DAY_OF_MONTH, - (dayOfMonth-1) );
    other usefull functions are:
    System.out.println(" YEAR : " + c.get(Calendar.YEAR));
    System.out.println(" MONTH : " + c.get(Calendar.MONTH));
    System.out.println(" DAY_OF_MONTH : " + c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
    System.out.println(" DAY_OF_WEEK : " + c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK));
    System.out.println(" DAY_OF_YEAR : " + c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR));
    System.out.println(" WEEK_OF_YEAR : " + c.get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR));
    System.out.println(" WEEK_OF_MONTH : " + c.get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH));
    System.out.println(" DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH : " + c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH));
    System.out.println(" HOUR : " + c.get(Calendar.HOUR));
    System.out.println(" AM_PM : " + c.get(Calendar.AM_PM));
    System.out.println(" HOUR_OF_DAY (24-hour): " + c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY));
    System.out.println(" MINUTE : " + c.get(Calendar.MINUTE));
    System.out.println(" SECOND : " + c.get(Calendar.SECOND));

  • Define event to repeat on the last day of each month?

    (I've searched the forum and can't find this question addressed)
    I want to create a repeating event for the last day of each month. Is this possible?

    Unfortunately Apple does not have an option available that allows you to add an event repeating on the last day of the month. An "OK" way around this would be to repeat on the 1st of every month and send a reminder a day earlier. I know this is less then perfect but the only option currently available. If you happen to find a 3rd party program that allows such integration please don't hesitate to mention it here as I have been looking for this sort of option for quite some time now!

  • How to set a calendar reminder for the last Friday of every month?

    I need to set a reminder to go off on the Monday following the last Friday of every month. I could settle for a reminder on the last Friday of every month and then delay the reminder by a couple of days, but I'm not sure where to start. Does anyone know how to do this?

    I found an App that solved my problem called "Calendar Tools"
    It is a plug in that allows you to have custom repeat rules.

  • Mdx query to get the last date of every month if the month is current month need current date..

    i have a scenario where i need the data of last date of every month and if the month is current month need current date data...
    is it possible using MDX...

    Hi Shashi,
    According to your description, you want to return the last day for each month except current month, right?
    In MDX, we can use ClosingPeriod function to return the member that is the last sibling among the descendants of a specified member at a specified level, here is a sample query for you reference.
    with member [measures].[a]
    as
    ClosingPeriod ([Date].[Calendar].[Date],[Date].[Calendar].currentmember).name
    select {[measures].[a]} on 0,
    [Date].[Calendar].[Month].members on 1
    from
    [Adventure Works]
    And then use the IIF function to evaluate if the month is current month. Please refer to the links below.

  • Is it possible to obtain the last IP address from which the device has displayed a message from Find My iPhone ?

    Hello, a couple of months ago my macbook got stolen so when yesterday i recieved an email my message was displayed on it i was wondering if there is a possibility to get the last IP address used on that machine .So if there is such possibility could someone direct me how to do it ?

    I'm sorry, but I'm still not clear on the problem. Do you mean that you have both "Smith Family" and "John Smith" tied to the same email address? If so, again, that "friendly" name isn't sent to the recipient, so the person receiving the email will get exactly the same thing regardless of whether you select the "Smith Family" entry or the "John Smith" entry. The "friendly" name doesn't go along as part of the email.
    It would only matter on your end when looking at your Sent email, and if that's an issue, it should be no problem to select which one you want; just start entering in the email address/name and wait a second; you'll get a dropdown with all the addresses that meet that criteria and you can just pick the correct one.
    Forgive me if I'm still not understanding what the difficult is or what you're trying to accomplish.

  • Getting the last action from a managed bean

    Is it possible to get the last action that was submitted from within a backing bean.
    I have an application that has a context specific menu at the top of the page. The context menu is generated using a backing bean which is called from a tiled jsp, called contextmenu.jsp.
    The context menu backing bean needs to know what page it is on so that it can generate the correct menu, so is it possible to get hold of the last action submitted, or the current page from within the backing bean?
    Any help would be much apprecieated.
    Jamie Cash

    Thanks for your help,
    but ...
    We will be developing over 200 jsps and don't want to load the development effort with a backing bean for each jsp.
    The solution that I finally arrived at is using the following code in the menubean to get the view id, and make the decision based on that.
    public NavigationMenuItem[] getContextMenu()
         //Get view id
              String viewId = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getViewId();
              logger.debug("view id: " + viewId);
              //Menu
              NavigationMenuItem[] contextMenu = null;
              if(viewId.equals("/home.jsp"))
                   .... Code to get context menu from Stateless Session bean     
              //Return menu
              return contextMenu;

    I know emoticons are a bit naff but in the absence of a UBB markup to indicate humourous intent they do serve to indicate a joke. This is useful in a purely verbal domain like these forums, especially given that many participants don't have English as their first lanaguage and so often miss the wordplay.

  • Different ways to get the last 5 records ordered by date

    I have a query no that returns the tickets ordered by moddt, modification date,
    I was thinking of adding a select on top, to get the last 5 records of that list the select already generates. An other way was to use that select to create a view,
    and get the 5 last records that way. I also though of a possibly impossible cursor with a sequence, but hmm well I consider that not a good solution.
    So I'm trying to find a way, using a select, the topmost select which is not completed yet, to get the last 5 records. Maybe I should just try the rownumber thing again or something likewise.
    Select * from(
    select * from(
    Select ticketid, appliecatiecd, categorieid, substr(titel,&,200)||' ...' "titel", klantproriteitid, interneprioriteitid,

  • Data recovery, possible to get the file structure back as well?

    Hi Apple Smarties,
    I closed my laptop lid on my external LaCie drive without ejecting the drive first (smart one!). After that the external drive wouldn't mount. I've used Data Rescue 3 to recover all the files from the drive... however it's just lumping all the files into one big batch :-( ...anybody know if it's possible to get the files into the correct files structure they were at before the drive got corrupted?
    Assistance would be HUGELY appreciated.
    Many thanks
    Kind regards

    Thank you Barry. Yes, Comcast is my mail provider. It is a POP account.
    Now, if you could point me in the right direction to do that re-build, I would be ever so grateful. I did use the "rebuild" button on the Mail tool bar for that box and it did not help. Perhaps there is something else I could do?
    As I mentioned, I am very new to the Mac world, and I get a little lost. Well, at age 73, I guess that's not hard to do! Been on Windows forever so lots of the terminology in Apple is quite different for me.

  • Query on 0TCT_MC01 to get the last used date of a query

    Dear All,
    I tried to create a query on 0TCT_MC01 to get the last used date of a query.
    Since we do not have readily available key figure for Last used date, could any one help me out to achieve this result?
    I am interested to find the old queries which are not being used anymore.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can get the info from the below tables
    if you are working with BW 3.5 you can look in table RSDDSTAT in BI 7.0 it is RSDDSTAT_OLAP.
    Make a selction on the infocube and the OLAP Statistic Object which is the query ID and execute. Then you should see how often the query was executed, by whom and which date/time.
    in field Statistics Object Name Query ID you type in the tech name of the query
    from the Counter for statistics event calls -- will give the count... no of times the query used least the count lesser the query is used.
