Hello,

I am trying to create a work-back schedule where you enter a launch date/time and the delivery dates of that project are calculated based on hours working backward from that launch date. The working hours should only be business days and hours (M-F, non-holidays, 9am-5pm).

The formulas I have seem to be working properly if the launch date is within the business day/hours but not when it is outside of that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
The formulas I have seem to be working properly if the launch date is within the business day/hours but not when it is outside of that.

Formulas could be based instead on calculated DEADLINE DATE and DEADLINE TIME
(the date and time that the work needs to be completed to satisfy workday constraints)

Deadline Date and Deadline Time
= Launch Date and Time (LD = working day LT = 9am -5pm)
OR
= 5pm on Launch Date (LD = working day LT = after 5pm)
OR
= 5pm on day prior to Launch Date (LD = working day LT = before 9am)
OR
= 5pm on previously available working day if any of the above calculated dates are non working dates

Use workings to derive both Deadline Date and Deadline Time from Launch Date and Launch Time as illustrated below
- note formulas in columns C, D and E

Comment
Some of my assumptions may be incorrect, but the general approach should work
I did not download your workbook

Thanks Yongle, I like the idea of breaking out the date and time into separate columns and formulas but I am struggling how you apply the number of hours it takes to "do the work".

In my original screenshot the column header of "1-2 versions" lists out how many business hours prior to the launch time we need to calculate what you are calling the "deadline time".

How about this as a much simpler approach to everything

1. Create a lookup list of valid working dates and hours starting 9 am - 5pm (see below)
(9 rows per day , approx 2,500 rows per annum - so 10 years into future are only 25,000 rows)
