fill series - I think!
I need to create a planner - previously have manually inputted all the Mon
Tue dates and click and dragged the rest but wondered if there was a better way. Need M, T, W, T, F dates skip weekend, start again. Have tried doing it by dragging over a 2 week period to see if the pattern is recognised but it doesn't work. Laurina |

fill series - I think!

When i select the lot then drag to the right it starts from Monday then end the week on Friday, then starts again with Monday, etc...

Hi Laurina
Try using the Workday() function. With your first date in A1, in A2 enter =WORKDAY(A1,1) Copy down and you will just get the workdays of each week. If you want to exclude Public Holidays from the list, then pout those dates in a range of cells and either name the range as Holidays or refer directly to the range of cells holding the dates with the following modified formula =WORKDAY(A1,1,holidays) or = WORKDAY(A1,1,$E1:$E10) where E1:E10 holds the range of holiday dates. -- Regards Roger Govier "Laurina" wrote in message ...

Hi Laurina
I should have added that you need the Analysis Toolpak loaded. ToolsAddins and check Analysis Toolpak -- Regards Roger Govier "Laurina" wrote in message ...

Laurina
The WORKDAY Function is from the Analysis Toolpak Add-in. Load it through ToolsAdd-ins to eliminate the #NAME! error.
