Weekdays of the month.
Am using Excel 2007 and I want to create a list of days of the week for a
month as below I can convert the col 2 info based on Col 1. Any idea on a formula for creating col 1. A table on another sheet is OK and no problem re holidays. I just don't want weekend days shown and can't quite noodle it out. Col 1 Col2 8/1/07 Wed 8/2/07 Thu 8/3/07 Fri 8/6/07 Mon 8/7/07 Tue |

Use the formula =A2 (assuming that the first date is in A2) and then format
the cell as Custom "ddd" (without the quotes) -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Dean" wrote in message ...

If the start date is in cell A1, put this formula in cell A2 and drag down:
=IF(WEEKDAY(A1)<6,A1+1,A1+3) in cell B1, put the formula =A1 and format as "ddd" and drag down Regards Trevor "Dean" wrote in message ...

Assume you put your start date in A1 (not a weekend day) - enter this
in A2: =IF(WEEKDAY(A1,2)=5,A1+3,A1+1) and copy down. You can save yourself a column by applying a custom format to column A as "ddd, m/d/yy" (without the quotes). Hope this helps.

I'm not explaining well. I want the values (dates) in column A to be drawn
in based on a formula that would in essence say if today is not a weekend day make this cell the next day after the cell above me that is not a weekend day. This can be a lookup based on a table in another workseet if necessary.

My formula will give him the dates he wants in column 1, which is what
he asked for. I also suggested that he might not need column 2, as he can just format column 1 appropriately. Your approach suggested that he put some numbers in column B, which is presumably where he wants to derive his days, so how will that work?

Well Pete's formula definitely works and it doesn't use neither a help
column nor a function from the ATP but in this case there is no real need for a formula, if you put 8/1/07 in A1 then just copy it down using right button of the mouse and when you let go of the button you can select fill weekdays only. -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Matthew" wrote in message ups.com...

What determines which month you want to use for this? You can calculate the
first weekday of the month and then use that date to calculate the rest of the weekdays for that month. Totally dynamic. Do you want it for the current month? This means that on the first of the next month it'll automatically recalulate for the new month. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Dean" wrote in message ... I'm not explaining well.

I would like to thank all of the responders. Perhaps if I got some sleep I
could have figured this out without your help, but I doubt it. Anyway thanks. Peo, what an elegant discovery. It's truly wonderful. Thank you thank you.

Another option if you do not like dragging down a large number of rows in
Excel 2007 might be to place a valid date in A1. Select A1. Home | Editing | Fill | Series... (Peo's suggestion) Select Columns, Date, Weekday, Step value =1. For the Stop Value, the technique here is that you can enter a valid date. For example, set your stop value to 12/31/2008, and Excel will fill the sheet for you.
