Default Calculating future dates using WORKDAY & specific requirements

Thanks Ron - I switched to using the WORKDAY term rather than NETWORKDAYS
after reading your post & that seemed to be the trick.

As part of project management duties, I need to continually update a table
that contains various Visit Dates for sites and when the various reports are
due.
Column C contains a date as it is scheduled meaning some of the rows of
pending visits will not yet contain a date in that cell or if the visit is to
be cancelled, the cell will contain NA. The first draft of the report is due
10 days after the Scheduled Visit Date shown in Column C. In the past, I
used the following formula putting the due report date in column D:
=IF(OR($C2="",$C2="NA"),"",($C2+10)) Now the boss wants the draft due 10
Workdays after the Scheduled Visit Date. I have lots of other columns of
data in this table so I'd prefer to keep all of the required parts of the
formula within the one formula if possible. At this time, they aren't
concerned about excluding standard holidays although I wouldn't mind knowing
how to create that formula as well.
Hope someone can help.



....,(WORKDAY($C2,10)))

If you try this and receive a #NAME error, look at HELP for the WORKDAY
function for instructions as to how to resolve this.
