I know I'm going to sound thick, but I just can't get this to work.

I have a formula that needs to report back "dddd dd/mm/yyyy" based on =Today(), but if =Today()="Friday" I need it to report "dddd dd/mm/yyyy" as 3 days later, but for any other day just report the next day.

Please help because it's driving me absolutely nuts & I know it's a simple answer.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
If today was a Thursday what should it report back? Friday or Saturday?

Sounds like you could use
=WORKDAY(TODAY(),1)
& format the cell as "dddd dd/mm/yyyy"

or if you want text returned
=TEXT(WORKDAY(TODAY(),1),"dddd dd/mm/yyyy")

Excellent, I knew it was simple, feeling a tad thick.
Are you sure? doesn't that formula for days that aren't Friday return Today's date and not Today + 1?
I think you should look the 2 formula Peter posted in post #5.
