    calculate business days with excel

    Hi there,

    I'm currently using "=networkdays" to determine the number of business days between cell A5 and A6.

    Say, I wanted to be able to enter a date...let's say Nov-26 and have the next cell automatically tell me the date in the next cell 21 business days into the future

    Example:

    I enter 29-Oct and it auto populates the next cell with: 26-Nov

    Thank you!

    NETWORKDAYS gives the number of business days between 2 dates, to add (or subtract) business days from a date use WORKDAY function, i.e.

    =WORKDAY(A1,21)

    Like NETWORKDAYS this function also accepts a 3rd argument for a holiday range should you want to exclude holidays too

    calculate business days with excel

    Since you're using the NETWORKDAYS function, you have the Analysis ToolPak (ATP) installed. That's good.

    So....beginning with...
    A5: (the start date)
    and
    List of Holiday dates in Q1:Q10
    Example:
    Q1: 01-JAN-2007
    etc
    Q10: 25-DEC-2007

    This formula returns the business day that is 21 days after the date in A1:

    =WORKDAY(A5,21,Q1:Q10)

    Does that help?
