Since your formatting cells to dddd, it looks like you're using true dates.
Combining the WEEKDAY function with what you have already:

=IF(N25="","",IF(N25+IF(WEEKDAY(R25)=5,4,1)<J25,"E arly",IF(N25+IF(WEEKDAY(R25)=5,4,1)=J25,"OnTime"," Late")))

Note that even though R25 my be displaying "Thursday", its value is actually
numerical, and thus using an check of R25="Thursday" will result in false.

Sorry, I am not explaining myself very well today.

What I am trying to do is if the despatch date in col N is a Thursday ( I
created col R = N with format to dddd) day then instead of adding 1 day onto
N25 , I want 4 days adding.Only when we ship on a Thursday.

Col J is the agreed date.

=IF(N25="","",IF(N25+1<J25,"Early",IF(N25+1=J25,"O nTime","Late")))

This at the moment says if the despatch is blank then return blank otherwise
add 1 day and if that is less than or equal to the Agreed Date col J return
"Early, if it equals J then "OnTime" otherwise "Late"

Thanks

Sorry your new formula is confusing.. However I have got two suggestions

1. Is R25 a text value or date? If R25 is a date you can use the WEEKDAY()
function which returns the day of the week. 5 would be Thursday..
=IF(AND(WEEKDAY(R25)=5,N25<""),N25+4,"")

2. Your new formula has got a syntax problem.. Where do the OR condition
stop. I dont see the closing braces for the OR condition.
=IF(N25="","",IF(OR(R25="Thursday",N25+4<J25),"Ear ly",IF(N25+4=J25,"OnTime","Late")))

If you can respond with the sample values in the cells and your expected
results for the sample values; it would be easy to understand...

Hello,

I have the following formula which is currently resulting in an error. It is
checking the shiped date in column N and adding 1 day on against the agreed
despatch date.

IF(OR(R25="Thursday",N25+4<J25,"Early",IF(N25+4=J2 5,"OnTime","Late")),IF(N25="","",(IF(N25+1<J25,"Ea rly",IF(N25+1=J25,"OnTime","Late")))))


Basically I want to check if Cell R25 has a Thursday date and if so add 4
days onto N25, also if N25 does not have any value to return as blank.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks
Winnie
