Schedule to exclude weekends and holidays
 

I am creating a schedule in Excel and would like to exclude weekends and
holidays. The formula that I have tried, and does not work is:

=workday(D3,-32)

I want to pick up the date in D3 and add 32 days, but exclude weekends and
holidays. Can anyone please help me with this?

Thanks!

Try...

=WORKDAY(D3,32,A1:A10)

....where A1:A10 contains your list of holidays.

Hope this helps!

Hi Erin

Use
=NETWORKDAYS(D3,E3,N1:N12)

Returns the number of whole working days between start_date and end_date. Working days exclude weekends and any dates identified in
holidays. Use NETWORKDAYS to calculate employee benefits that accrue based on the number of days worked during a specific term.

If this function is not available, and returns the #NAME? error, install and load the Analysis ToolPak add-in.

See Help for examples

Your formula will subtract 32 workdays from the date in D3, excluding weekends.

Check HELP for WORKDAY worksheet function.

If you want to add days, and exclude holidays, then your "days" argument must
be a positive number; and you must include the optional range "holidays".

So your formula should read:

=WORKDAY(D3,32,holidays)

For "holidays" in the above, you may substitute either an array of holidays; a
range (for example H1:H20) in which you have listed all of the holiday dates;
or a named range that does the same.

Since the formula should work, if it is not working, you will need to post the
exact formula you are using; the contents of any cell references; the exact
result that you obtain.
