Greetings,
I have the start day and the duration. Is it possible to calculate the end date using these two entitites such that only working days are included (only monday through friday and not the weekends)?
Thank you
I would take a look at the WORKDAY function.
WORKDAY()
WORKDAY(date, num_days, [holidays])
Used in a Date column to return a date from a specified number of working days. Optionally excludes holidays outlined in a range.
Hmmm. You might also try turning on dependencies. It will set up a start time and a finish time column if you don't already have one and calculate the finish time for you. When you edit the start date or the duration, the end date will calculate for you automatically.
That might be a better way of doing it rather than using custom formulas.
Another added benefit of turning on dependencies is that you can also make the end of one task determine the beginning of the next one.
Thank you very much.
It worked!
Happy to help!
I would also suggest looking into dependencies as Mike suggested below. I don't use them for various reasons, so I never think about them as a solution.
Can this be done without using a function?

I also already create a dashboard for our client, but I wanted…
Hello team! Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season. I am trying to set up an automation that will send an email reminder one time when Next Update Date = 60 days, then another automation at 30d, etc. The key is I only want it to send the reminder one time when Next Update threshold is reached. Is this possible?…
I have an automation setup to escalate to managers when a step goes beyond 2 days. I have that titled as Escalation for Purchasing, Escalation for Planning, etc. In my trial run, 3 out of 6 showed up as Reminder: New part number request log ( this is the name of the sheet) The only thing we could see was that the ones that…
