Default Adding network days


Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help. I have a table with three columns.

€’ Column A shows the start date of a task
€’ Column C shows the tasks duration
€’ Column B adds the number of days in column C to the start date in column A
to arrive at the tasks end date.

I want column B, instead of adding €˜x number of days to the start date to
add €˜x number of working days. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Ive been playing around with the NETWORKDAYS function, but cant find a way
to do just what I want.

Thanks

Karl

Did the OP ask for text? Why not just =WORKDAY(A1,C1) [formatted to suit
the OP's preferences] ?
That way, the OP will end up with a result on which he can do further
calculations if he wishes to do so.

. Column A shows the start date of a task
. Column C shows the task's duration
. Column B adds the number of days in column C to the start date in
column A
to arrive at the task's end date.

I want column B, instead of adding 'x' number of days to the start date
to
add 'x' number of working days. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
