    Best Option for a Deliverables Calendar that calculates due dates based on initial start?

    Hello! I have a project for work and I'm stuck.

    Here's what I'm trying to do: I want to make a tool where you can type in what you need to get done, how often it needs to happen, and when it starts. Then, the spreadsheet will make a timeline and a calendar based on that info. I think I might need to use VBA, but I'm hoping I can do it without that. If not, no big deal, I'll adjust.

    For example, you'd type in your tasks and dates like in the picture below. Then, the spreadsheet would show you when everything's due. I'm pretty confident about making the calendar and using conditional formatting to mark the dates, though, I am open to alternatives, but I'm stuck on how to make the dates work right. They need to skip weekends and holidays - pushing those deliverables to the next business day and stay in order.

    And just for additional information, Eventually I'll add a macro to print to pdf.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. The sample layout accurately matches that of your real data. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
