Much appreciate all of you for helping me to solve my case in Excel.

I want to create a date range in Excel but the data I have will have a lot of repetition because it is based on the ticket creation date. I want to create a date range like this :

enter image description here

I have a formula like this : =TEXT(R2,"MMM D") & " - " & TEXT($R$2+ROWS($A$1:A1)*6,"D")

The case is every I drag the data the value on the end range always changes +6 like this :

enter image description here

Please give me a solution and advice on how to create a correct weekly date range according to the first picture I attach above.

Thank you.

It looks like you want to get the result in format
"mmm" "first day of the week" - "last day of the week", with Monday being the first day of the week. Please pardon me if I got it wrong.

WEEKDAY function - Microsoft Support

  • First day (date) of the week for a given date: date - (WEEKDAY(date,2)-1)
  • Last day (date) - date +(7-WEEKDAY(date,2))
  • So the following will get the result in the format you want
    • please note that it is correct for this particular date range
  • It is an array formula, so there's no need to drag-down
=TEXT(R2:R28-(WEEKDAY(R2:R28,2)-1),"MMM D") & " - " & TEXT(R2:R28+(7-WEEKDAY(R2:R28,2)),"D")

Using LET, also handles if months are different for start/end dates:

=LET(
    dates, R2:R28,
    first_day_of_week, dates - (WEEKDAY(dates, 2) - 1),
    last, dates + (7 - WEEKDAY(dates, 2)),
    TEXT(first_day_of_week, "MMM D") & " - " &
        TEXT(
            last,
            IF(MONTH(first_day_of_week) = MONTH(last), "D", "MMM D")
        )
)

Give a try to the following formula-

=TEXT(A2,"mmm") & " " & MOD(DAY(A2),7)*7+1 &" - " & (DAY(A2)-6)*7

Hi Sir, thank you for your response. I have tried your formula but the result is different than yours above. I get the result like this : Jan 8 - -35. Have you formatted you date column in different type?
Please advice and explain me about you formula, Sir. Why the result is different than your?
@Joinnes What result do you get? Can you show a screenshot?
