Formula - Adding num of days to a Date field and calculating the Date, but it has to be a WEEK DAY.

Hi Y'all - who will be asisting me..!

 

Start Date 1 - Date field, End Date 1 - Formula Field.

Start Date 2 - Date field, End Date 2 - Formula Field.

 

End Date 2 = {Start Date 1 + (3 days) } - but it should not be a Weekend.

 

If its a weekend, then it has to be a next weekday.

Eg: If "End Date 2 calculates to be - Saturday", the formula should calculate and the answer should be Monday's Date.

 

On the whole End Dates should have the dates from M-F.

 

Assistance on this is highly appreciated.? 

 

Thanks..!

Thanks for the link you posted. I got some assistance fr a person there and resolved the issue.

 

Below is the Code which was used fr my Scenario:

 

Scenario: Having a Start Date and need to calculate +4 days / which ever needed , from a Start Date. Excluding the Weekends.

 

Soln:

 

CASE(MOD(DATEVALUE(Start Date) - DATE(1900, 1, 7) , 7),
0, Start Date+4,
1, Start Date+3,
2, Start Date+3,
3, Start Date+5,
4, Start Date+5,
5, Start Date+5,
6, Start Date+4,
null)

 

Worked perfectly.! 

 

Thanks fr you assistance on the POST, else I wouldn't have gone so far.

See if some of the formula in this question will give you enough guidance to figure it out for your formula.
