I have basic knowledge of excel so please bear with me.

I am setting up a tracking spreadsheet. Three of the columns are date sent,
due date and date received. I need the due date to automatically be inserted
as 5 working days after the date sent. I don't know the formula to do this.

Also, I have the following formula in the date received colomn
=IF(J4<TODAY(),"OVERDUE","CURRENT")
but don't want anything to be displayed if there is nothing in J4. At the
moment, the blank cells that haven't been used yet already have the word
CURRENT in that column and this is confusing.

Any help pn this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks Nic

Nic,
Due date= Date sent + 5 with cells formatted as Date

=A1+5 if A1 has Date sent

and for your second query ...


=IF(J4<"",IF(J4<TODAY(),"OVERDUE","CURRENT"),"")

Thanks for your help.

I need the date to display 5 working days from now (eg if it was sent on a
Wednesday it will be due on the following Tuesday). The +5 function does not
take this into account.

Any help on this one?

Thanks

Just add a front error trap for "nothing" in J4:
=IF(J4="","",IF(J4<TODAY(),"OVERDUE","CURRENT"))

If sent date is in A2, then insert in due date cell =A2+5

=IF(ISBLANK(J4),"",IF(J4<TODAY(),"OVERDUE","CURREN T"))

Any help pn this is greatly appreciated.
