Default Date Calculations

How do you have Excel calculate the difference between business? For example
if a customer call on Oct 1, 2009 and you want to followup up 5 business days
later, what would be the calculations? I know how to do regular days but not
how to drop Saturdays and Sundays.

Default Date Calculations

It's not clear what you want.

If you want to know the future date after adding 5 business days to a date
try this:

A1 = Oct 1, 2009

=WORKDAY(A1,5)

Format as Date

Note that the WOKDAY function requires the Analysis ToolPak add-in be
installed on versions of Excel prior to Excel 2007.
