Well, maybe a little. However, if the OP doesn't want to use the Analysis
ToolPak for some reason, or if he is afraid that users he distributes the
worksheet to might not have it turned on, he can always place my function in
a Module and then use it as a User Defined Function (UDF) directly on the
worksheet.

Give the following function a try...

Function AddWorkDays(StartDate As Date, WorkDays As Long) As Date
If WorkDays < 0 Then Exit Function
AddWorkDays = DateAdd("d", 7 * (WorkDays \ 5) + (WorkDays Mod 5) - _
2 * ((WorkDays Mod 5) Abs(5 + - _
Weekday(StartDate, vbMonday))) + _
Weekday(StartDate, vbSaturday) * _
(Weekday(StartDate, vbSaturday) < 3), StartDate)
End Function

As written, this function will only *add* workdays to the StartDate. If
the WorkDays value is less than 0, then "day zero" (12/30/1899) is
returned and can be used for error checking purposes.
