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])

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?

We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.

Dropdown List columns remain editable. Selecting a new dropdown value and…
