calculating number of prior pay periods in year when given specificdate.

Jon Friessen · Sep 25, 2009

I am trying to calculate the number of bi-weekly and weekly pay periods of a given year.

Example

9/1/09 - there are 35 (weekly) tuesdays before this date, and 18 biweekly periods.

what excel function can I use to do this?

Is there also a way for semi-monthly?

Hi,

Try this. C15 holds 9/1/2009. B15 holds 1/1/2009. The answer would be 35

=SUMPRODUCT(1*(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(C15&":"&B15)))=2))
