    Conditional formatting - highlight cell if it's empty 2 working days before today

    Hi,

    I am currently using the following code to change the colour in cell A1 if the date in cell B1 is two days before today and cell A1 is still empty. This is to alert me that the date is approaching and pre-requisite work is yet to be complete.

    =AND($B1<>"",($B1=TODAY()+2),$A1="")

    Could I set it to only look at working days (mon -fri) instead of everyday?

    Thanks in advance
