First weekday of the next month based on the provided date.

[supportcenter]

Anyone have a better way to do this?

Here is what I am using currently:

=IF( NUM(WEEKDAY(MONTHEND(vDate)+1)) >4
, DATE(((MONTHEND(vDate)+1) - NUM(WEEKDAY(MONTHEND(vDate)+1)))+7)
, DATE(MONTHEND(vDate)+1) )

The 'vDate' is the variable assigned to an Input Box.

You could try this:

=Alt(Pick(Weekday(MonthStart(vDate, 1)) + 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4), 0)

That solution assigns Saturday and Sunday as well as Monday as 0. I am having trouble understanding how this will get me to  the first weekday of the next month based on the provided date.

if vDate = 1/20/2020 then the first weekday of the next month would be Monday 2/3/2020. Getting to the 2/3/2020 date is what I want to calculate.

FYI, I have noted an error in my original calculation and have now corrected it. I also removed MONTHEND in favor of MONTHSTART. My question still stands though. Is there a better way to do this?

IF( NUM( WEEKDAY( MONTHSTART( vDate, 1 ) ) ) >4
, DATE( MONTHSTART( vDate, 1 ) + FABS( WEEKDAY( MONTHSTART( vDate, 1 ) ) - 7 ) )
, MONTHSTART( vDate, 1 ) )

Again, the 'vDate' is the variable assigned to an Input Box.
