    Unhappy Workday formula

    Here's my formula at the moment: =(J2<TODAY()+5)

    What I want : =(J2<TODAY()+5WORKDAY) - But this does not work???

    I have a date in a cell when an application for payments must be made. I want a warning to appear 4-5 days before hand which I already have but I don't want weekends included in those 4-5 days.

    If anyone can give me a formula that does this it would be very much appreciated!!!

    Thank you

    Possibly

    =IF(J2<TODAY()+5,IF(WEEKDAY(INT(J2))<6,"Workday","Weekend"),"")

    Not to sure what you want the result to be.

    That didn't work but thanks anyway.

    What I want the result to be: Say my deadline for a payment application is on wednesday (28/04/2010) I need a warning to pop up 4 days before hand but not including the weekend, so it would turn red today.

    That advice didn't help at all

    Re: Workday formula

    I suspect because you have not read the help files.

    Although this is, to some extent, a silver spoon service we do expect people to read links referenced or follow advice re: help files.
    Moreover we do not expect users to repeatedly post the same question given this is a waste of time for all concerned.
