I am using a formula that calculates holidays for each year so I can use it with NETWORKDAYS to exclude weekends and "OBSERVED" holidays

For example, my formula for the examples below would return Saturday, December 25, 2021 for Christmas:

New Years Day - =WORKDAY(DATE(CalendarYear,1,1),--(WEEKDAY(DATE(CalendarYear,1,1),2)>5))
Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday - =DATE(CalendarYear,1,1)+14+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(CalendarYear,1,1)),1,0,6,5,4,3,2)
President's Day - =DATE(CalendarYear,2,1)+14+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(CalendarYear,2,1)),1,0,6,5,4,3,2)
Memorial Day - =DATE(CalendarYear,6,1)-WEEKDAY(DATE(CalendarYear,6,6))
Independence Day - =DATE(CalendarYear,7,4)
Labor Day - =DATE(CalendarYear,9,1)+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(CalendarYear,9,1)),1,0,6,5,4,3,2)
Columbus Day - =DATE(CalendarYear,10,1)+7+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(CalendarYear,10,1)),1,0,6,5,4,3,2)
Veterans Day - =DATE(CalendarYear,11,11)
Thanksgiving Day - =DATE(CalendarYear,11,1)+21+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(CalendarYear,11,1)),4,3,2,1,0,6,5)
Christmas Day - =DATE(CalendarYear,12,25)

What I am trying to figure out is if the holiday falls on a Saturday, I need to have the formula calculate Friday as the observed holiday. However, if the holiday falls on a Sunday, I need the formula to calculate Monday as the observed holiday.

So, for Christmas in 2021, I need the formula to read Friday, December 24, 2021 for Christmas since it falls on a Saturday OR Monday, July 5, 2021 for July 4th holiday since it falls on a Sunday. For 2022, Saturday, January 1, 2022 would be observed on Friday, December 31, 2021 ... and so on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.

Also ... hoping for an OR syntax to account for any holiday landing on Saturday (cite Friday) or Sunday (cite Monday) scenario

Welcome to the MrExcel forum!

The principle is the same as for your Thanksgiving formula. For Christmas it would be:

Excel Formula: 
=DATE(CalendarYear,12,25)+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(CalendarYear,12,25)),1,0,0,0,0,0,-1)

This figures out the date, then figures out the weekday of that date (1=Sun, 2=Mon, etc.), then figures out how many days to add/subtract to get to Monday or Friday. The rest can be done the same way.

This should work for any holiday with a fixed day (New Year's, July 4th, Veteran's Day, Christmas). The others that fall on a particular day of the week have different formulas.

Thanks Eric.

That works for Christmas in 2021 as your formula suggestion did calculate to Friday, December 24, 2021.

What about the formula for Sunday, July 4, 2021? I need help calculating the formula to read Monday, July 5, 2021 in this case.

I am still seeking help for any holiday that is NOT set for Monday or Thanksgiving. Hoping to just have one set IF/OR formula to check to see if New Years, July 4, Veterans Day (Nov 11) or Christmas lands on a Saturday/Sunday and adjust accordingly (Saturday to Friday and Sunday to Monday).

Much appreciated.

If you want to use Excel 365's Let function, review the following

Eric's formula also gives the correct result. It is a small bit more concise since it uses the default result of the Workday function.
See Excel's help for Workday.

Use the alternative that you prefer.

Appreciate all the help thus far and regrets for not uploading my worksheet (previous post) showing what I'm hoping to accomplish.

Given the highlighted holidays, I'm hoping to just have a formula check to see if any holiday lands on a Saturday or Sunday and adjust to Friday or Monday. I was thinking an IF/OR statement but not sure.

The idea for my sheet is to copy paste any IF/OR formula across multiple years and just have it check for the Saturday/Sunday occurrence and calculate to Friday (for Saturday) or Monday (for Sunday)

Thanks again.

I haven't checked the other rows, but rows 2, 6, 9, and 11 should be correct:
