February ended on Sunday, March 2 and March began on Monday, March 3.

March ends on Sunday April 6 and April begins Monday April 7.

Those rules are different from your original rules.

In one of your original examples, you indicated the start of May would be April
28. But the first Monday of the calendar Month May is May 5.

If you want to use these rules, you need different formulas:

Again, with some date in the required calendar month in column A

Beginning: =A2-DAY(A2)+8-WEEKDAY(A2-DAY(A2)+6)

End:

=DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2)+1,7)-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2)+1,6))

Right. Thank you.
