Well it seems all of these solutions work for the 1st 150 records, but they
all still repeat after the 1st 5 days. Why is that?? It goes from 09-05-06
to 09-08-06 then even includes the first Monday correctly. After that it
factors in the 10th for the next 30 records then starts the 11th to the 15th
includes the first Monday correctly. After that week it factors in the 17th
for the next 30 records etc.... Why is it including the Sunday date once the
first week is computed??

Is it a formula sequence issue? I apologize for the questions, but this one
is out of my league. :)

Well if you must have the solution as well as my eloquence <G

=A1+IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)=30,IF(WEEKDAY(A1)=6,3,1 ))

So what is that alternative approach? Did I loose you know?? :)

Uuum, tricky eh.

Here is an alternative approach, which seems to work correctly even in
those
situations.

Bob,
Try copying the formula down about 500 records. For some reason it
starts
the date range over. So I have it started at 9-5-06 and then after it
hits
09-11-06 it starts back to 9-10-06 and puts 09-11-06 again. Not sure
why
so
it reads 09-05-, 09-06, 09-07, 09-08, based on 30 records then goes to
09-11-06 for the next 30 records, but when it goes to the next 30
records
it
goes to 09-10-06????? Then it repeats 09-11-06 again then starts to
09-12-06.


Let me know your thoughts. I have 1500 records. Is it a copying
issue??

You have lost me. If you start with 14th Aug 2006, the next date is
15th, at
least it is in my tests. I fail to see how it could possibly count
backwards.

In my original formula, IF(WEEKDAY(A1)+6 just tests if the previous
date
is
a Friday, if some return 3 else return 1. The result of this test is
added
to A1 to skip weekend dates.

When I write this formula and use the start date 8-14-06 it is
computing
the
next date as 08-12-06. This would be the weekend date???

I just used your formula =A1+IF(weekday(A1)=6,3,1 and just then
added
/30.
So now it reads =A1+IF(WEEKDAY(A1)=6,3,1/30 - This excluded the
weekend
days
and then put a new date after every 30 records. Yeah.

Now can you tell me what 6,3,1 is all about? I want to understand
the
formula and I'm not sure why you used those numbers.
Thanks so much for the quick responses.

Okay, I think I get it.

Try this


=INT($A$1+INT(ROW()-1)/30)+(WEEKDAY(INT($A$1+INT(ROW()-1)/30))=7)*2

Thank you for the formula. I will example. I have multiple
sales
people
within a spreadsheet. I want to only assign a date to one
particular
individual within the spreadsheet without having to copy it
into
another
worksheet. Then, I want to assign the same date to 30
records.
After
those
30 assign the next day and so forth. I need to exclude
weekends
when
assigning dates.

Does this help? Please advise.
thanks
Brooke

I received the answer on assigning consecutive dates but
what
can
be
done
to
the formula

=INT($A$1+INT(ROW()-1)/30)

TO:

1. Not include weekends

Don't get your formula.

My suggestion

=A1+IF(WEEKDAY(A1)=6,3,1)


2. Only assign the date to a certain person's name if
there is
multiple
reps
on the spreadsheet.

Don't understand that bit.
