Hello,

I have a spreadsheet where I have certain tasks that must be performed
sequentially based on the main task of doing a particular job. If the job
happens on the weekend, I need the formula to automatically recognise that it
is a weekend and allocate the next working day. (I have put in conditional
formatting for public holidays). At present at the top of my spreadsheet I
have the number of days after a job when the next task should be done. So
the formula in a cell looks like this: $P34+$Q$14, where P34 is the job
date, and Q14 is the number of days after when the task can be done. Is
there a way I can ensure that the result is a working day, rather than a
weekend?

Hi Suek

this formula will help you, to look for the next monday, if the result
of
A1 + B1 is a saturday or a sunday.
=IF(WEEKDAY(A1+B1,2)5,A1+B1-WEEKDAY(A1+B1,2)+8,A1+B1)
