Dates
I developing a small project plan in excel - starting with project end date
and subtracting task durations to get to start date. Using =DATE(YEAR(D30),MONTH(D30),DAY(D30)-C29) to get to the next earlier date. Problem is I need to exclude weekend dates. D30=end date. C29=duration of task. How do I do that? |

Dates
=WORKDAY(DATE(YEAR(D30),MONTH(D30),DAY(D30)),-C29)
however if you have a date in D30 you don't need the DATE function =D30-C29 or =WORKDAY(D30,-C29) -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "sharonn" wrote in message ...

Toolsadd-ins, select ATP (Analysis Toolpak)
and keep the installation CD handy. It comes with Excel but might not be installed at first time, if it is a company PC ask IT to install it if it doesn't install when you check under add-ins -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "sharonn" wrote in message ...

What you are doing wrong is not using Excel help for the WORKDAY function.
