I was looking for an Easter spreadsheet calculation I could use in Google docs. The formula from Daz below gives me April 17th for 2011, when the correct date is April 24th. Haven’t traced the cause, but the other Excel-compatible formulas I come across fail due to an intentional Excel DAY bug introduced for Lotus 1-2-3 compatibility. Still looking for a formula I can use ….
Pete

Thanks for those formulae, I had completely forgotten about this post. When I get some spare time I’ll see about updating the spreadsheet.
