    Formula to Calculate Project Finish Date given several attributes

    I have a formula that calculates how many hrs I have to go to finish a project. Looking for a formula that tells me the finish day if I average say 9 hrs each work day (M-F) I know it should be simple but can't seem to get it to work in a single simple calculation. Any help?

    Goal = 3,000

    I have a formula that calculates earned hrs of 1,951 which leaves 1049 hrs to go. 1049 hrs divided by 9 per day = 116.5 days.

    If I use NOW() + 116.5 it gives me the actual date of completion, but that, I assume, includes the weekends. How do I push it out to only count weekdays?

    Re: Date formula help

    Use... WORKDAY / WORKDAY.INTL.
    WORKDAY should work for your case. Use latter, if you have non-standard weekends (ex. Sun & Mon as weekend etc).

    EX:
    =WORKDAY(TODAY(),ROUNDUP(116.5,0))

    Roundup is recommended here, as date type formula will not handle partial date and will truncate time portion.

    Administrative Note:

    We would very much like to help you with your query, however the thread title does not really convey what your request is about. Tell us what you are trying to do, not how you think it should be done.

    Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).

    Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

    (Note: this change is not optional. No help to be offered until this moderation request has been fulfilled.)

    Would love to help, but there is simply no EDIT button on the original post. And when I scroll to the bottom and "Go Advanced" there is no option to change tread name, just to reply to the thread. Please Advise

    Re: Date formula help

    Formula to Calculate Project Finish Date give several attributes!

    If that doesn't work for you, go ahead and make something up that you are OK with.
