    Question Finding weekends and holidays in a list of dates

    I have an Excel spreadsheet with a list of dates going back about 20 years. Some dates are missing. I need to find out if these missing dates are weekends or holidays. Is there any way to do this with some type of formula?

    I know it seems like a strange request, but believe it or not, I really need to do it! So, any ideas or thoughts?

    Use the WEEKDAY function to determine a weekend (The WEEKDAY function will return 0 for Sun and 7 for Sat).

    Not sure about the holidays part of what you want though. My first thought is to have a list of holiday dates over the 20 years and see if a date is in that list

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
