Hello -

I'm trying to calculate headers for a workbook, where we have a new header by date. The headers would be named "Key Accomplishments: 11/25/18"... "Key Accomplishments: 12/09/18", etc.

Right now my formula is: =LEFT($O$1,20) &" " & RIGHT(O1,10)+14 which returns: Key Accomplishments: 43444. How do I make the 43444 return as a date value?

Thanks,
M

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
Hi,

Your formula (unless it's a typo), will error out for your given sample.

=LEFT($O$1,20) &" " & RIGHT(O1,10)+14

Try this:
