Sounds like you're missing the Analysis TookPak Add-in. Excel's Help on the WORKDAY function says the following: 1. On the Tools menu, click Add-Ins. 2. In the Add-Ins available list, select the Analysis ToolPak box, and then click OK. 3. If necessary, follow the instructions in the setup program. -- taylorm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ taylorm's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28892 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=510032 |

Calculate A Date Excluding Weekends And Holidays
TAYLORM, I followed your suggestion. I now receive the same day but an extended year: calculated date of 2/15/*20 *. I am using a custom format for the date; xx"/"xx"/"xx will this affect the results? Thank you for your help.

Calculate A Date Excluding Weekends And Holidays
When I changed mine to a Custom format of xx"/"xx"/"xx as you said, it displayed xx/xx/xx. So I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do there.  I have 2/15/2006 in cell A1, with a normal Date type format. In cell B2 I have the following formula: =WORKDAY(A1,10) to add 10 working days to 2/15/2006. The result in cell B2 (with the same Date type format as cell A1) shows 3/1/2006. -- taylorm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ taylorm's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28892 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=510032 |

Yes, to make sense WORKDAY needs a date entered with delimiters like
02/01/06 for Feb 2006 using US settings or it needs the conversion whatever that might be depending on how you enter "dates" Note that it is always better to enter dates that excel can recognize instead of enter pseudo dates that one has to convert to excel dates -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom Portland, Oregon "travelersway" wrote in message news:travelersway.22x7vb_1139419202.7497@excelforu m-nospam.com...

Calculate A Date Excluding Weekends And Holidays
TAYLORM, Thank you for hour help. The date is programed to just enter the numbers for the date: 021506 would = 2/15/06. I'll reformat the date funcion and see what happens. Will this formula account for legal holidays as well? Thanks again for all your help.

Yes, you can tell it to account for holidays. There is a 3rd parameter in the function where you can either reference a range of cells that contain holiday dates or you can enter an array constant. The Excel Help gives an excellent example. If I change my formula to =WORKDAY(A1,11,$C$1:$C$10), where C1 thru C10 contain holiday dates, my result changes from 3/2/2006 to 3/3/2006 (because I have 2/20/2006 listed in my holiday range). -- taylorm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ taylorm's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28892 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=510032 |

Excellent thread, very helpful.... thank you!
Now, how can I calculate a date that can land on any day of the week BUT will exclude holidays? I tried using the NETWORKDAYS function (similar to how the WORKDAYS function was used above) but received #### which a pop-up Excel box indicates is "either an negative or too large to display." Any idea why this isn't working? |
