- 3To end on Friday instead, use =A2-WEEKDAY(A2,2)+5.
- 4Format column B as Date and copy the formula down.
Tips
- If your week runs Sunday–Saturday, use WEEKDAY mode 1 and replace +7 with +7 (Sunday end) or adjust the offset to match your calendar convention.

Frequently asked
How do I get the Friday end of a Monday–Friday work week?
Use =A2-WEEKDAY(A2,2)+5. WEEKDAY mode 2 makes Monday=1, so adding 5 lands on Friday.
What if the date is already a Sunday?
The formula still works correctly — it returns the same Sunday because WEEKDAY(Sunday,2) = 7 and 7-7+7 = 7, keeping the date unchanged.
