Default calculating weekday date

I need to calculate a date 10 days from a start date that, if the final date
is a Sat, the result defaults to the previous Fri, or, if the final date is a
Sun, the result defaults to a Mon. Is this possible? I use 2003. Thanks for
your help. In your response, remember I am a novice and need a little extra
explanation. :)



With your original date in A1:

=A1+10+(WEEKDAY(A1+10)=1)-(WEEKDAY(A1+10)=7)

or, a bit more obscure, but shorter:

=A1+10+(WEEKDAY(A1)=5)-(WEEKDAY(A1)=4)
