Hello,

I work for a school district.
I would like to calculate 30 days out from a specific date and exclude weekends and school holidays or random school days off.

Example:
3/1/24 plus 30 days, minus weekends and spring break (March 25-29) would be 4/19/24.
3/4/24 plus 30 days, minus weekends and spring break (March 25-29) would be 4/22/24.
5/1/24 plus 30 days, minus weekends and Memorial Day (May 27) would be 6/13/24.

Ideally, I would need to be able to plug in all school days off throughout the year and weekends and produce an entire spreadsheet.

Thank you for anyone's help.

Hi Eric,

Do you know of a way to exclude weekends in my column A?
Hi,

You can use the Fill series which is in the home tab. (see pic 1).
When you open the Fill series dialogue box, click the column, on the right click workdays, and as an end day write down your end day. (see pic 2)
In picture 3 you can see March 2024 workdays.
