I have a start date in cell A1 ( 10/05/2007 ) ,specific number in cell b1 ( 5
) then i need to caculate the due date which equals A1+A2 excluding the
weekends noting that my coutry's weekends are ( friday & saturday ).

i ll be so grateful if any body helps me.

Thanks
Karam

hey i just did this the other day

i did it in 2 steps

first step: create a list of dates excluding weekends going down a column

cell A1 = today()
cell A2 = IF(WEEKDAY(a1+1)=1,a1+2,IF(WEEKDAY(a1+1)=7,a1+3,a1 +1))
cells A3:500 = extend the formula downwards a long way

second step: build the bit which works it out

cell B1 = (your date)
cell B2 = (how many dates to add)
cell B3 = index(A1:A500,match(B1,A1:A500,0)+B2,1)

I suppose you could get this to work in one step if you can be bothered to
think about it but I can't.

Sorry I just realised I was doing it for Sat and Sun.

A2 = IF(WEEKDAY(a1+1)=6,a1+3,IF(WEEKDAY(a1+1)=7,a1+2,a1 +1))

Hummm, I just tried this function...I think that +8 should be +7

=SUMPRODUCT(INT((E1-WEEKDAY(E1+1-{2;3;4;5;6})-C1+7)/7))-SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(MATCH(WEEKDAY(C3:C5),{2;3;4;5; 6},0))*(C3:C5=C1)*(C3:C5<=E1))
