Hi,

I used a workday function in my worksheet but the result returns a date on
Saturday... I don't know what I did wrong. I am using excel 2003.

I was trying to calculate the date before month end, say March 31, 2007
=workday(date(2007,3,31),0) and it returns 3/31/2007 which is a Saturday.
But I want 3/30/2007 as the last working date before the end of the month.

Can anyone help me?

Hi Jessie,

=WORKDAY(DATE(2007,4,1),-1)

Maybe

=WORKDAY(DATE(2007,3,31)+1,-1)

if he wants today unless it is a weekend date
