Calculate a date
I think I am being extremely thick, however I am trying to work out what the
date is a week ago from today's date excluding weekends. I don't want to know how many working days ago it was, I need to know the actual date. Does anyone know how to do this? Help would be greatly appreciated as I'm really scratching my head over this one. Thanks a lot Aehan |

Calculate a date
You could try =TODAY()-7.

Calculate a date
Hi Bernard
A user has asked me for a formula to calculate 7 working days back from today's date. TODAY() -7 or NOW() -7 includes the weekends. So for instance if today were 19th July she would want to see 10th July as the answer, not 12th. If today were 16th July she would want to see 5th July as the answer, not 9th - and so on. I've tried NETWORDAYS, but that gives me the number of working days ago - not the date, and now I'm completely stumped.

Calculate a date
=workday(today(),-7)
