Default Scheduling with Work Week m-f

I have put together a schedule, so that every column has a formula to where
each column adds 1 day to the previous. It all works well, until I have a
Saturday and Sunday. I have a 30 column spreadsheet and when I enter the
starting date, I want the days to change with the formula, except I need it
to skip Sat and Sun. I know I can do it individually, cell by cell, but that
just takes forever.
Is there any formula I can enter that will make this schedule not count
Saturdays and Sundays?

Try this, assuming A1 is your starting date:

=IF(WEEKDAY(A1)=6,A1+3,A1+1)

=WORKDAY(A1,1)

WORKDAY is an Analysis Toolpak function, so this needs to be installed.

Go to ToolsAddins and check the Analsyis Toolpak item , then the formula
should work.

Right. I downloaded the addin, but i still cannot figure out how to add in
that formula. If you have time, please fill me in. If not, thanks for the
info you have shared.

In your schedule, just put your start date in the first cell of the
schedule, lets say D2 for this exercise.

Then in the second day cell, add the formula

=WORKDAY(D2,1)

and just copy it down to all of the other days in the schedule.
