Force A Date Lookup in Excel
Wondering if there is a formula to force a specific date to populate in a sell.
We do a planning sheet, and 14 days before an event on a Tuesday documents are due. So if the event were 1/26/2018 the Tuesday of 1/9/2018 the documents are due.

Thank you so much!
Glad to help.
Going by your description, I don't think you want it that simple though.
Can you be more specific on your criteria?
Event date of 26 Jan (Friday), 2 weeks previous is 12 Jan (Friday), Tuesday of that week is 9 Jan as you've described.
What if event date was 22 Jan (Monday), two weeks previous is 8 Jan (Monday). Do you still want 9 Jan as due date or should that be the previous Tuesday, 2 Jan?
Would it be right to use the rule, round back the event date to the beginning of the week, deduct two weeks and then take Tuesday of that week? If event is before Tuesday roll back 3 weeks.
26 Jan event rolls back to Week Commencing 22 Jan, two weeks prior is 8 Jan, Tuesday is 9 Jan.
22 Jan event is before Tuesday so roll back 3 weeks (1 Jan) and then take Tuesday of that week, 2 Jan.
