Pete, I'm getting further along. Here's where I am. In A1 I have the date:
01/01/2008. Then I have applied the Format/Cell/Number Tab/Custom dddd
mm/dd/yyyy. And that works perfectly just as you'd said it would. So that
gives me something to work from. Then I went back through your other
suggested formulas and have tried each one. The one that works is the very
first one - so in A2 I have inserted the formula: =A1+1. And I copied that
down through my spread sheet. And all the days and dates come out perfectly.
When I change the year in A1 from 2008 to 2009 all the other columns change
to 2009 as well as the days line up perfectly with those dates as well.
That's just what I wanted. However ... and this is not a huge problem for me
..... I still have Saturday and Sunday each week. Now when I do the formulas
for columns B, C, D and so forth to complete the rest of my spreadsheet the
only difficulty is skipping over Saturday and Sunday because they are not
active trading days. I can do that if I have to.

I tried your formula: =IF(WEEKDAY(A1)=6,A1+3,A1+1) and I get some weird
(""}}39449) stuff, and I've tried the other formula: =WORKDAY(A2,1) and what
shows in A2 is #NAME. So I don't know what to do with that. Any other
thoughts. We're almost there.

You should type the date only, i.e. 01/01/08.

THEN, you apply the custom formatting of dddd mm/dd/yyyy.

It will show you Monday 01/01/2008.
