I've received some great help with a formula for date series' that allows me to fill this formula in date sequence however, omitting Bank Holiday Mondays and where a BH Monday occurs, it simply skips that Monday date from the series and just goes straight on to the Tuesday. I'm then able to use CF to highlight the first working day of the week which will either be a Monday or a Tuesday.

For info, this is the formula I've got currrently in the spreadsheet cells:
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]
=WORKDAY(H6,1,Holidays)
[/FONT]
And the formula I've got in the CF:
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]
=H6=WORKDAY.INTL(H6-5,1,"0011111",Holidays)
[/FONT]

However, I now need to do the same thing kind of with a similar formula BUT, in this case the formula would not insert the dates that aren't the Mondays or Tuesdays that I want - it will, when I fill down/right, only show me the Monday or Tuesday dates one after the other.

Maybe I just need to tweak the above in order to make it exclude the unneeded days of the week.

Any help, as ever, gratefully received.
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
With your initial date in cell H6, try putting the following formula in the adjacent cell beneath/to the right and drag-copying it as needed:

=WORKDAY.INTL(H6+2,1,"0011111",Holidays)
