date problem (1 Viewer)

hi everyone
Looking for a formula to satisfy the following:

4 working days from my date field DateRecieved. That is, cell B2 would have a formula that referred to A2(DateRecieved) and the result would be DateRecieved + 4 workdays.

Thanks for any help!

Hello
Place the below code in B2

=A2+4
'

thanks for the quick reply Mark, but that doesnt work. If I put +4 and the date is 08/01/06 in the DateRecieved(A2) cell, I get 08/05/06 which is a Saturday.. I need 4 workdays, weekdays, whatever (minus Saturdays and Sundays).

Since you specified workdays, see if the WorkDay function serves your needs.

Did you look in Excel Help? What don't you understand about what it tells you?
