    Find the start date from end date and date range and exclude weekends

    Hello,

    I wanted to find the start date based on the end date and make sure to exclude the weekends. Does anyone know what formula can help you achieve the result?

    For example,

    If I put the start date as 02/15/2017 and want to go back 283 working days excluding weekends and holidays, the result should be 01/04/2016.

    Try

    =WORKDAY.INTL(D5+1,-D2,1,A2:A26)

    +1 to allow for inclusive days.

    MOTE: error in one date 29/02/2018 should be 28/02/2018

    I tried the suggested formula and it came out as an error.

    NOTE: error in one date 29/02/2018 should be 28/02/2018
    .... as I pointed out ..... this is the reason for your error.
