Calculating 6 days from a date
Sorry. What I need to know is if my starting date is 5th January 2009, 6
days from this date would be 13th January 2009. It excludes the weekends. Hope this helps.

Calculating 6 days from a date
Hi,
I neglected to mention, that if you are using 2003 or earlier this function is in the ATP, choose Tools, Add-ins, and check the Analysis ToolPak. By the way there is a third argument which allows you to specify holidays to exclude also. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Cutie" wrote: How do I calculate 6 working days from any date. e.g. 5th January 2009 is my starting date, what formula to I use to work out 6 days excluding weekend.

Hi
Thank you. It worked perfect. I would like to know how to exclude holidays if you could give me that formula as well.

Hi,
To exclude holidays you need to enter them in a range for example you could enter 12/25/2009 7/4/2009 in cells D1:D2 Then the formula would read =WORKDAY(StartDate,6,D1:D2) You need to manually enter them because everybody's holidays are not the same. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Cutie" wrote: Hi Thank you.

Thank you With Jan 5 in A1, use something like: =workday(a1,5) If you get a #NAME! error, look at HELP for the Workday function for how to resolve it. The Workday function also has an optional [holidays] argument which you may find useful. --ron |

Calculating 6 days from a date
Hi
as ever many thanks. I was using it to book course start and end dates BUT to get the actual end date I had to include a sum to minus 1 day:) i.e. course starts 1 mar 2010 for 8 days show end on the 1o mar 2010 but your calculation says 11 mar 2010. Not a problem as sure a reason but many thanks :) "Shane Devenshire" wrote: Hi, I neglected to mention, that if you are using 2003 or earlier this function is in the ATP, choose Tools, Add-ins, and check the Analysis ToolPak.
