It's a good formula, but it falls down if you go for just 2 days say
{2,4}because ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&B1*3)) creates a too small a comparison date
range.

You can allow for it, but it's a bit messy IMO

=SMALL(IF(WEEKDAY(start_date+ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&num _days*(6-COUNT({2,4,6}))))
-1)={2,4,6},start_date+ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&num_days*( 6-COUNT({2,4,6}))))-1),nu
m_days)

If start date is in A1 and positive number of business days in B1


=SMALL(IF(WEEKDAY(A1+ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&B1*3))-1)={2,4,6},A1+ROW(INDIRECT("1:
"&B1*3))-1),B1)

confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

note that {2,4,6} refers to Mon, Wed and Fri. Adjust accordingly for
other combinations
