Default Date list excluding weekends


If you already have your list in place, you can use the following code
to delete rows that contain Saturday or Sunday. Change TestCol to the
column letter that contains the date to be tested. Change StopRow to
the row number that processing should stop, working from the bottom
up. So, if you want to preserve the first 10 rows of the worksheet,
set StopRow to 11. Change WS to the name of the worksheet than
contains the data. Then run the code:

Sub DeleteWeekends()
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim RowNdx As Long
Dim TestCol As String
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim StopRow As Long

TestCol = "B" '<<< Column to test dates
StopRow = 3 '<<< Row number to stop at moving upwards
Set WS = Worksheets("Sheet1") '<<< Which worksheet.
With WS
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, _
TestCol).End(xlUp).Row
End With

For RowNdx = LastRow To StopRow Step -1
If Weekday(WS.Cells(RowNdx, TestCol).Value, _
vbMonday) = 6 Then
WS.Rows(RowNdx).Delete
End If
Next RowNdx
End Sub


If you want to create a new list of dates that exclude weekends, enter
the starting data in some cell, say A1. Then, in A2, enter

=WORKDAY(A1,1)

and copy this formula down for as many rows as you need. If you are
using Excel 2003 or earlier, you'll need to load the Anlaysis Tool
Pack. Go to the Tools menu, choose Add-Ins, and put a check next to
"Analysis Tool Pak". This step is not necessary in Excel 2007 and
later.

If I have a column of dates (365 days) from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, is there a way
to delete all weekends without the long, manual way of doing it? Connie
