I have a worksheet with Monday, March 15, 2010 in Cell A2.

I'd like to have a formula that will put Tuesday, March 16, 2010 in the
fifth cell after that (in this case Cell A7) and so on......I do not want
Saturdays/Sundays to show up.

Any idea if this can be done and if so, with what formula?


Assuming that it is acceptable to have the cells in A column that not
have any date as blank cells, try this formula in cell A3:

=IF(MOD(ROWS(A$2:A2),5),"",WORKDAY(A$2,ROWS(A$3:A3 )/5))

copy down as far as needed.

The content of cell A2 has to be a number that is formatted as you
describe, it can't be text.
Make sure that you format all other cells in column A to get the date
format you want. Use custom cell format for that.

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke
