Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where i need to update a column in excel with dates thats equal to todays Date + 2 days ahead (Ex: 4-Aug + 2 Days ahead).
But the date must not be a weekend (Saturday and Sunday) and also none among the below shown holiday list.
Suppose i am running this Macro Today (4th-August), how can determine next working as 10-Aug based on below holiday list + Weekends.?

I can determine weekends using below code but i need check for holiday list too to determine for how many days i need to count ahead.
Code:
Weekday(MyDate, vbMonday) > 5


Can anyone please help with the VBA code to find this..?


Holiday list
[TABLE="width: 0"]
<tbody>[TR]

Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
If your holiday dates are A1:A15 try
=WORKDAY(TODAY(),2,A1:A15)

Hello Fluff,
Thanks for your response. That works great, but I need VBA to determine this.
I need to run this Code on huge data which already has enough formulas in it coz of which it responds bet slowly.

Kindly provide me the script for this.

If you want the full code rather than just the method, I will need to know
Sheets names
Data ranges
Holiday ranges
where the formula goes

Hello fluff, i agree and below is the details
I have 2 sheets, 1) Data. 2) Holidays
Data sheet had 13000 plus of rows with A:H column. Column A had the dates on which i pull this report (Todays date).Under column H i need to generate the dates for each entry with criteria as stated in this post.

Holiday sheet has holiday from Range A2:A10.

Hope this helps.

Presuming the dates are actual dates and not strings, and look like:
Holiday[TABLE="class: html-maker-worksheet"]

[TH][/TH]
[TH]A[/TH]
[/TR]
</thead><tbody>[TR]
[TH]1[/TH]
[TD="align: center"]HOLIDAYS[/TD]

[TD="align: right"]7-Aug-17[/TD]

[TD="align: right"]8-Aug-17[/TD]

Excel 2010

In a Standard Module:

Rich (BB code):
Option Explicit
  
Public Function Add2DaysAndSkipHolidayList(ByVal dateInputOutput As Date) As Date
Dim Index As Long
  
  dateInputOutput = dateInputOutput + 2
  If Weekday(dateInputOutput, vbMonday) = 7 Then
    dateInputOutput = dateInputOutput + 1
  ElseIf Weekday(dateInputOutput, vbMonday) = 6 Then
    dateInputOutput = dateInputOutput + 2
  End If
  
  On Error Resume Next
  Do
    Index = 0
    Index = Application.Match(dateInputOutput, ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Holiday").Range("A2:A10").Value, 0)
    dateInputOutput = dateInputOutput + 1
  Loop While Not Index = 0
  On Error GoTo 0
  
  dateInputOutput = dateInputOutput - 1
  
  
  If Weekday(dateInputOutput, vbMonday) = 7 Then
    dateInputOutput = dateInputOutput + 1
  ElseIf Weekday(dateInputOutput, vbMonday) = 6 Then
    dateInputOutput = dateInputOutput + 2
  End If
  
  Add2DaysAndSkipHolidayList = dateInputOutput
  
End Function
  
Sub example()
  MsgBox Add2DaysAndSkipHolidayList(#8/4/2017#)
  MsgBox Add2DaysAndSkipHolidayList(#12/21/2017#)
End Sub

Does that help?
