formulating dates excluding weekends
I have 3 columns with different dates. My goal is to enter 1 date, and have the other 2 dates formulated based off the 1st date. I created a formula to satisfy this need, but I am ending up with some dates falling on weekends, which I cannot have. Is there a way to correct this issue without enabling dependencies and predecessors?

What is your current formula? You may want to try (if you aren't already) a NETWORKDAY or a NETWORKDAYS function.

Hi Paul
i want to generate a list of dates excluding
do you know how i can do this please?

Here is a bit of a Frankenstein workaround
Let's start with a basic Equation such as
=[Start Date]@row + [Days Duration]@row
- Now let's introduce the weekday function which will tell me if it is a Sunday (1) or a Saturday (7).
- Lets then create a nested if so if it is a Sunday then we add one more day pushing it to the Monday and if it is a Saturday then we add two more days pushing it to the Monday
=IF( WEEKDAY([Start Date]@row + [Days Duration]@row)=1, [Start Date]@row + [Days Duration]@row+1, IF( WEEKDAY([Start Date]@row + [Days Duration]@row)=7, [Start Date]@row + [Days Duration]@row+2, [Start Date]@row + [Days Duration]@row))
Which would result in this
Let me know if that helps
