I am wanting to create a spreadsheet with multiple moving date targets. If I
enter a general date such as 01/03/07 with a timeframe of three business days
to complete the project, what formula do I use to generate the completion
date for me? Does anyone have any suggestions?

kdlilly, with your date in A1 put this in a cell and format as a date
=WORKDAY(A1,3)

To further add to Pauls suggestion. Start date in a1, timeframe in b1,
=workday(a1,b1) in c1 (or where ever). This will allow you to enter # days
without modifying the formula. i.e. (a1= 01/03/07, b1=5, results=1/10/07)

When I enter the number value 3 in one cell and my date in another cell it
doesn't work for example. I entered the date 01/05/07 in one cell, and 3 in
another cell I typed =WEEKDAY(A3,B3) and it returns the value 01/04/1900.
Any suggestions?

kdlilly, I think you want =WORKDAY(A3,B3) not WEEKDAY

Paul,
I have used another user's formula and it is doing exactly what I need it to
do except if the date falls on a Saturday or Sunday it defaults to the
previous Friday, I would like it to default to the following Monday. Can you
review the formula and advise on how to adjust. It would be greatly
aprpreciated. Thanks.
