I need a formula to calculate the date 30 business days from a given date.
Any help appreciated.

Make sure you have the Analysis Toolpak installed (Tools-Addins & make sure
the Analysis Toolpak is checked).

Once installed you can use the WORKDAY() function that will do just what you
want

From the Help file

WORKDAY()

Returns a number that represents a date that is the indicated number of
working days before or after a date (the starting date). Working days exclude
weekends and any dates identified as holidays. Use WORKDAY to exclude
weekends or holidays when you calculate invoice due dates, expected delivery
times, or the number of days of work performed.

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

hi,
assuming your given date is in cell A1, try this.....

=WORKDAY(A1,30)

if you want to use diffenent numbers of days, put the number of days in cell
B1

=WORKDAY(A1,B1)

IF you want to go backwards into the past, enter negative days


adjust the formula to fit your data.

Hi VDan

Try the Workday Function

If your date is in cell A1 you can enter in B! the following
=WORKDAY(A1,30)

This can also be adjusted for Holidays
