Default Help with a formmula change in a "flag" parameter!

Your formula worked perfectly Ron!

One final question however..............Usually our class is "Hudson Sat. &
Sun.", however, sometimes our classes are "Hudson Sat", or "Hudson Sun". Is
there a way of using a wild card in the formula, so that any class in Column
N which is a Hudson class (regardless of Sat, Sun, or Sat & Sun) can trigger
the 45 day flag as you set up?

Thanks so much!

you could use:

=IF(H4="","",IF(K4"","",IF(S4="Sent","Client Failed to Enroll on Time",
IF(AND(K4="",TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,IF(N4="Hudson Sat. & Sun.",45,10),
AA4:AA12)), "Return Referral Form to Referent",""))))

but this (imho) is a little tidier:

=IF((H4="")+(K4""),"",IF(S4="Sent","Client Failed to Enroll on Time",
IF((K4="")*(TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,10+35*(N4="Hudson Sat. & Sun."),
AA4:AA12)), "Return Referral Form to Referent","")))

The formula I have below in Column R works just fine. It creates a flag
for
me (in Column R) that lets me know one of two things: “Client Failed to
Enroll on Time”, and “Return Referral Form to Referent”. Here is that
formula:

=IF(H4="","",IF(K4"","",IF(S4="Sent","Client Failed to Enroll on
Time",IF(AND(K4="",TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,10,AA4:AA12) ),"Return Referral Form
to
Referent",""))))

The one change (addition) that I’d like to make, is this:

If Column N is toggled to say “Hudson Sat. & Sun.”, than I’d like the
following portion of the formula above to change:

TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,45,AA4:AA12))

Please note, that the only change in the string of formula above is the
reference to when the flag “Return Referral Form to Referent” is
triggered.
In the original formula, this flag triggers in 10 days (excluding holidays
and weekends) from the date of the referral (which we identify in column
H).
If Column N is toggled to say “Hudson Sat. & Sun.”, than I want to EXTEND
the
length of time in which this flag would trigger (making it trigger at 45
days-as opposed to 10). The 45 days would continue to exclude weekends and
holidays as was true with the 10 day parameter.

Thanks in advance for any help!
