Schedule Dates Minus 2 days Except Weekends

Scott Land

I'm trying to figure out a formula. I have a customer that requires a 2 day notice that my crew will be onsite to work. I have an automation set up to remind me to send the store an email 2 days prior. In my "Notify Store" column I have a formula for schedule date -2, but I don't know how to exclude weekends so that the automated email will go out the Friday before instead of the Saturday before.

That was what I needed! Thank you very much!

Hey there—

Try the WORKDAY function. :) This function views Saturday and Sunday as non-working days, and so it will exclude weekends. Your formula would go in a Date column and would look something like this:

=WORKDAY([Schedule Date]@row, -2)

that would return a date two working days in advance of the "Schedule Date."

Hope that helps!
