Have a look at NETWORKDAYS (part of the Analysis Tool-pack add-in) -
you can specify a holiday list with it.

Hope this helps.

I have a set date to which I need to add a number of days, but holidays

holds the number of days, and I'd like to have results returned in the cell

Something like this:

8/2/2008

5 * * * * * * * 8/7/2008
10 * * * * * * 8/12/2008
30 * * * * * * 9/2/2008 (30 days is 9/1, but that's a holiday, so 9/2 is
right)

Any ideas? *

I had been doing A1+B1 and it worked fine until I ran into needing to add
Business Days instead of "regular days". *So, I stared using =WORKDAY(A1,5). *
Neither excludes holidays though. *Is there any way to have the number of
days argument be a reference to another cell (b1 in my example) rather than
having to put it in by hand?

Thanks!
