    Formula to calculate the date of the first Saturday in July

    I am trying to get Excel to return the date of thr first Saturday in July based on a starting date for the fiscal tax year beginning 1 July each year. Obviously, the date of the FIRST SATURDAY will varie from year to year. Try as I might I can't seem to get a formula that is consistently correct for the year in question.

    I have the date of the start of the fiscal tax year entered in cell b2 (e.g 1/7/20) [using dd/mm/yyyy format]
    I want the DATE of the first Saturday in July, based on that date - this is needed to calculate and display weekly tax liabilities.

    Can anyone help me with this?

    If you have the 1 July date in some year in cell D3, try

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =D3-WEEKDAY(D3+8,3)+6
