Default Start Date

Is there a function that calculates the start date given the contract
duration and completion date while excluding the holidays? Similar to
workdays but reverse.

Thanks!

OK, if you have the Analysis Toolpack add-in loaded,

=end date-workday(end date,number of workdays,holiday dates)

WORKDAY itself works in reverse, i.e. the second argument can be a negative
number so......

If completion date is in A1 and contract duration (in days) in B1

=WORKDAY(A1,-B1,holidays)
