Rounding date formula results
I am putting together a project plan in Excel. The task dates are driven by
the selected due date. I would like to enter the due date and have the remaining dates populate based on pre-determined values. However, is it possible to prevent these values from falling on a weekend (e.g. round to the nearest workday?) |

One way...
Enter the first date in your first cell. Assume this is cell A1. Enter this formula in cell A2 and copy down as needed: =A1+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(A1),1,1,1,1,1,3,2) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "martin" wrote in message ... I am putting together a project plan in Excel.

(If you try it and get a #NAME! error, check HELP for the function to correct it). A1: Seed date A2: =WORKDAY(A1, pre-determined_value_in_days) will yield the next working day. There is also an optional [holidays] argument you may want to use. --ron |

You can always ad or subtract a few days too to get another day of the week. =NOW()-MOD(NOW(),7)+(IF(MOD(NOW(),7)=0,0,7)) |
