Return a date using a start date and forecast number of workdays but count only workdays

[BryceD]

I have two fields

• a start day for a task (date field)
• an estimated number of workdays the work will take to complete (a number).

I want to add those workdays to the start date and count ahead to the date the work will be completed. I do not want to count weekends.

I've tried the formula below to estimate the date the task will be completed by combining my two fields.

DATEADD({Imaging Start Date},{Forecast Workdays for this Batch},'days')

However, that counts weekend days as workdays, thus returning an earlier forecasted completion date.

For example, if the work starts 6/1/23 and should take 10 workdays, the returned date should be 6/14/23, not 6/10/23.

Is there a way to account for this in my formula or the data?

Could you try using `WORKDAY()` instead?  Link to documentation

Thanks! I think that basically solves it for me!
