    Try this example...
    A1: ...any date....03-Sep-2014

    This regular formula returns the 3rd occurrence of Tuesday in the month of that date

    Where this string: "1011111" flags weekend days (beginning with Monday) with 1's and workdays with 0's.

    and this formula returns the 3rd occurrenceo of Thursday in that month

    Or...you could just use
    C1: =B1+2

    In that example,
    B1 returns: 16-Sep-2014
    C1 returns: 18-Sep-2014

    Is that something you can work with?

    That won't always work, though, Ron

    For example In October 2014 the 3rd Tuesday is 21st October, the 3rd Thursday is 5 days earlier on 16th.....
