Formula to determine Target Completion Date

[VictoriaM575]

Hello:

I'm not Excel savvy and was wondering if anyone can help me. I'm trying to figure out a Target Completion Date for QA Laboratories projects. If I were given an estimated time to complete a project (in days), how do I set up formula for Target Completion Date (minus holidays and weekends)?

Your help is greatly appreciated!
