Dear All,
I do have a small data set across A1:C4 as follows:-

[TABLE="width: 300"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Dispatch Day[/TD]
[TD]Leadtime[/TD]
[TD]Proposed Delivery Day[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Thursday[/TD]
[TD]7[/TD]
[TD]Thusday[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Wednesday[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]Sunday[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Friday[/TD]
[TD]8[/TD]
[TD]Saturday
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
I would like to forecast the delivery day based on the Dispatch Day & the corresponding leadtime.
For example, if the dispatch day is Thursday and the leadtime is 7 Days, then the forecasted delivery day will be Thursday.
If the dispatch day is Wednesday and the leadtime is 4 Days, then the forecasted delivery day will be Sunday.
Could somebody help me out with the solution pls?
Regards
