Hi I am using excel to show project timeline. I want to determine if the day
falls on saturday or sunday. If the day of week falls on the weekend I will
add the appropriate number of days to bring the new date to the start of the
work week.

basically I have a cell with my starting date, then add the number of days
of work expected and get an ending date. if the ending date falls on a
weekend then I want to adjust the ending date appropriately.

for example;
if (day=saturday) day=day+2
if (day=Sunday_)day=day+1

thanks for your help

Have you looked at the WORKDAYS function? I think it does what you need --
and more since it can also 'jump' holidays

Something like:

=WORKDAY(A1+A2-1,1)

where A1 is your start date, and A2 is the numboer of days of work expected.

Note that if you only want to add working days, then you should use:

=workday(a1,a2)

Also note that there is an optional Holidays argument (see HELP).

If the WORKDAY function -- #NAME error, see HELP for that function for
instructions on how to correct it.

Hi,

Suppose your end date is in cell B1 then

=B1+IF(WEEKDAY(B1,2)=6,2,IF(WEEKDAY(B1,2)=7,1,0))

Calculated the ending date after any necessary adjustments for the weekend.
A shorter version is

=B3+IF(MOD(B3,7)=0,2,IF(MOD(B3,7)=1,1))

If this helps, please click the Yes button

cheers,
