Hello:

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I need help with rounding a due to date to the earliest friday. For example:

If order is received on 6/24/10 (A4) then confirmation must be sent out within ten days

A4 + 10= 7/4/10. The 4th is a saturday.

However, if the result is a saturday or sunday, it needs to be rounded to the Friday before.

I also need to subtract in the same manner.

Ie: if due date is 11/1/10 then reminder letters must be sent out 15 days before.

A4-15 = 10/17/10 which is a sunday and needs to become Friday.

Please help. thank you so much.

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Below formula will get what you need for the due date always being a Friday if the +10 days falls on Sat or Sunday. You should be able to figure out how formula is working & adapt for your reminder letters -- if not, let me know.

=IF(WEEKDAY(A4+10,2)<=5,A4+10,IF(WEEKDAY(A4+10,2)=6,A4+9,A4+8))

Try

=A4+10-(WEEKDAY(A4+10)=7)-(WEEKDAY(A4+10)=1)*2

and

=A6-15-(WEEKDAY(A6-15)=7)-(WEEKDAY(A6-15)=1)*2
