Hi Everyone

I'm not an Excel expert but i'm trying to create a specific formula to calculate product delivery dates for a business client, whereby the process goes something like this:

If today's date + 2 days(in my case this number will vary per product) equals a Monday, then return the Monday date. If it's not a Monday, then return the next working Monday. The crux is that the formula must only count working days(so exclude Saturday and Sunday), so TODAY()+2 should not factor in weekends.

I have the below formula so far:
=IF(WEEKDAY(WORKDAY(TODAY();2))=2;WORKDAY(TODAY();2);MOD(WORKDAY(TODAY();2);7))

I'm struggling to return the following Monday date, so if anyone can help me to solve this problem, I will be most grateful :)

Thank you

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
How about
Excel Formula:
=WORKDAY.INTL(TODAY()+1,1,"0111111")

Dumb question, but how does the "0111111" part of this formula work? it seems kinda neat and i would like to understand it so i may be able to use it in other cases

That's the weekend argument & it runs Mon to Sun. 0 is False so it's not a weekend & 1 is true so it is a weekend.
So in this case we are saying that Mon is the only work day.

Okay that makes sense, thank you!
