Hello,

I want to add 3 business days to a auto populated date in another field. So for example. B1 will have the auto date (Based on a system entry). C1 should have a date that is 3 business days from the B1 date. Can you assist?

You can try using Workday function

=WORKDAY(TODAY(), 5) would show 5 business days from today

Thank you! I am sooo close! I changed the 5 to a 3 since I need it to be 3 business days from the Lock date (Which varies). Because the Lock date can be any day in the calendar year and not Today, I am trying to now make that happen with out getting an error.

then replace with the lock date. lets say lock date is in cell a5
then you can have it
=WORKDAY(A5, 3)

if lock date can be null u can have

=if(a5="", "", WORKDAY(A5, 3) )

That worked! For one entry. Now I need to have all of the different dates in that A column to give that 3 day result.
