    Calculating Date with # of days minus weekends

    I have two pieces of information. A begin date (A1) and a number of days (A2). I want to calculate the completion date. This is fairly simple

    But how do I do this when I don't want weekends included?
    Another way to say it is, A1 represents the number of weekdays, so I want to add that number of weekdays to A2 and see the final date.

    So far I tried the WEEKDAY function, but did not get anywhere.

    Thanks all!

    NOTE: I am using EXCEL 2003

    Hi

    You can use networkdays function as

    A1 start date

    A2 is end date

    There is also an optional argument holidays

    Here is a short description

    NETWORKDAYS(start_date,end_date,holidays)

    Start_date is a date that represents the start date.

    End_date is a date that represents the end date.

    Holidays is an optional range of one or more dates to exclude from the working calendar, such as state and federal holidays and floating holidays. The list can be either a range of cells that contains the dates or an array constant (array: Used to build single formulas that produce multiple results or that operate on a group of arguments that are arranged in rows and columns. An array range shares a common formula; an array constant is a group of constants used as an argument.) of the serial numbers that represent the dates. (Microsoft help)

    To be able to use this you must install Analysis tool pack

    Tools + add-ins... & select analysis tool pack press OK.
    You may need Office 2003 **

    rather than NETWORKDAYS I believe you need WORKDAY function. WORKDAY allows you to add days to a date, e.g. for your example

    =WORKDAY(A1,A2)

    ....still needs Analysis ToolPak though......
