Adding Day to find a next weekday
No, I don't. I was thinking this formula would be used to identify the next
workday after a weekend. For example, if something was received 07/30/08, and is due 10 days from that date, it would be due 08/09/08. However, since that date falls on a weekend, I'd want the due date in the spreadsheet to show up as 08/11/08, the first available work day. I guess I'm using the wrong formula, or maybe I'm doing something else wrong. Thanks for your help.

Adding Day to find a next weekday
Well you can't use a name like holidays if you don't have defined as a name.
If you don't want any public holidays in your calculations just leave that part out =WORKDAY(A4+B3-1,1) if you want to exclude holidays put the public holidays for 2008 in a range like H1:H10, select H1:H10 and in the name box above the header of column A type Holidays and press enter Now your first formula should work. Of course you can leave the range empty and add the dates later but once you have named the range you shouldn't get a name error anymore as long as ATP is installed -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "gafern" wrote in message ...

Thank you. I'd obviously overlooked defining a name for public holidays.
I'll give this try. Thanks, again! GAF "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: Well you can't use a name like holidays if you don't have defined as a name.
