Need formula	by SnappingTurtle	2005-05-04 14:40:35
Assume that the days of the week are numbered 0-6 starting with Sunday. If a given day of the month is M and that same day is day of the week W, what formula returns which [Sunday\|Monday\|Tuesday\|etc] of the month that day is? E.g, if M=2 and W=1 (Monday) then we intuitively know that it's the first Monday of the month. What formula returns the desired result of 1? If M=8 and W=3 (Wednesday), the formula should return 2 (it's the second Wednesday of the month).
