Default Formula for a 4 day work week

Unless I'm missing something, I can't get Rogers or Martins formulas to
work.

Start date = 1/9/2007 (Tuesday Jan 9 2007)
Days = 11

Roger = 1/26/2007 (Friday Jan 26 2007)
Martin = 1/25/2007 (Thursday Jan 25 2007)

I believe the correct result should be 1/29/2007 (Monday Jan 29 2007)

I think this is much more complicated than it appears on the surface. After
about an hour of tinkering I haven't come up with anything that works *under
all circumstances*.

JMB's suggestion works but listing all Fridays as holidays may not be very
desirable.

I haven't tried Arvi's udf.

Hi

Provided you have ToolsAddinsAnalysis Toolpack selected, then you
could modify the Workday function.

=WORKDAY(Startdate,(Duration*5/4),holidays)
where holidays is a named range of holiday dates or a range of cells
e.g. $C$1:$C$9 containing the holiday dates.

Multiplying your duration by 5/4 will account for a 4 day week.

I am trying to create a formula that will result in a date. I have a
start
date, a number of work days, however my dilemna is we only work 4
days. So
the formula would have to compute a completion date but exclude Fri,
sat, &
sunday, any suggestions?
