Networkdays and Workdays aren't enough


Posted by George J on January 04, 2002 7:59 AM

I have a spreadsheet in which i am setting up 2 macros (never used before). I wish to enter a date in one cell and by pressing ctrl+L, the macro has given a date 14 days prior to this, but not a weekend date, in another cell.

Any help or advice with this appreciated.

Would this line of code added to your macro be what you are after?
It assumes your "date from" id housed in D7.
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=WORKDAY(R7C4,-14)"

Any help?

This is where the problem kicks in.

If the data entered is 30/01/2002 then my first macr after 14 days gives 16/01/2002 - 14 full days later, but if the date entered is a weekend eg 27/01/2002 I want the macro to give the date 14 full days from then, but not a weekend; so the macro will instead of giving 13/01/2002 (Sunday), will give 11/01/2002 - the first available weekday before the weekend.

Hope this clarifies.

If this formula works, perhaps you could use the recorder for your macro
=(A1-14)-(WEEKDAY(A1-14)=7)-(WEEKDAY(A1-14)=1)*2

date of interest is in A1.

Good luck

Try this:

=IF(WEEKDAY(D7-14)=1,D7-13,IF(WEEKDAY(D7-14)=7,D7-15,D7-14)) This is where the problem kicks in. If the data entered is 30/01/2002 then my first macr after 14 days gives 16/01/2002 - 14 full days later, but if the date entered is a weekend eg 27/01/2002 I want the macro to give the date 14 full days from then, but not a weekend; so the macro will instead of giving 13/01/2002 (Sunday), will give 11/01/2002 - the first available weekday before the weekend.

Here's some code that might help

As long as you are doing this with a macro, see if this does what you want.

Sub TimeFun()
If Weekday(Range("$A$1")) = 7 Then
ActiveCell.Value = Range("$A$1").Value - 15
ElseIf Weekday(Range("$A$1")) = 1 Then
ActiveCell.Value = Range("$A$1").Value - 16
Else
ActiveCell.Value = Range("$A$1").Value - 14
End If
End Sub

Macro working BUT...

Using this code from Tom, slightly refined.

Sub Lothian()
'
' Lothian Macro
' Macro recorded 07/01/2002 by gj
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+l
'
If WeekDay(Range("$F$2")) = 7 Then
ActiveCell.Value = Range("$F$2").Value - 15
ElseIf WeekDay(Range("$F$2")) = 1 Then
ActiveCell.Value = Range("$F$2").Value - 16
Else
ActiveCell.Value = Range("$F$2").Value - 14
End If

End Sub


Any ideas how to alter this so that if I enter another the date in Cell F2 the cell in C2 is updated and if another date is entered below F2 in F3, I can press Ctrl L to get the corresponding date in C3. This is meant to be a progressive thing. Forgot to mention that - sorry.

Thanks to all contributors.
