Eliminating weekends when subtracting dates

[mdub]

Hi,

I have a date in cell E18, and a number in cell E16. I need to subtract cell
E16 from E18, and eliminate the weekends. I want the result to be a date. I
am trying the NETWORKDAYS function, but can’t get it to work. It only gives
me the number of days between 2 dates. Does it only give numerical results?
Thanks,

Michael

You want the WORKDAY function which, like NETWORKDAYS, requires the Analysis
ToolPak (unless you are using XL2007 in which case it is a built-in
function).
