Hi All,
I attached a sample spreadsheet to help explain what I am trying to do. I work in a printing production facility and the customer usually indicates the date the project needs to be completed and when it will ship. We have various departments that perform various functions and each department requires a specific number of days to complete their portion of the project. What we would like to do before the job enters the facility is to ask the customer what date the project needs to ship. We would then enter that date along with the number of days required to complete each function. We would like the spreadsheet to calculate which date each department needs to complete their part of the project based on the number of days each department needs to perform their function. Then, we would be able to know what date the process of receiving the order needs to take place. If we worked 7 days a week and holidays, the calculation would be simple (as in my example). However, we only schedule work 5 days a week and do not work on holidays. Is there a way to run these calculations and omit Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from the calculation? I know the NETWORKDAYS function, but that only tells me how many work days between 2 dates. I need to work backwards from the due date. Any way to do this?
Thanks, Joe
