If you enable circular references (or iterations) which is under Excel

Options in 2007+ , and under Tools/Options in earlier versions of

Excel, AND set the number of allowed iterations to be any value at

least as great as the number of Holidays in your list (it can be much

larger), then you can use this formula:

=StartDate+DaysToAdd+SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(Holidays,

ROW(INDIRECT(StartDate&":"&INDIRECT(CELL("address"))))))

Bernd,

Thanks for that, teach me to test properly before posting.

Hi,

A1 = start date and holidays is a named range of dates to exclude

=WORKDAY(A1,30,Holidays)-SUMPRODUCT(--(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&WORKDAY(A1,30,Holidays))),2)>5))

Hello Mike,

That does not work: Try A1 = 5-June-2010. Holidays: 30-June-2010, 6-July-2010, 7-July-2010. Your formula returns 7-July-2010, a holiday. Correct is 8-July-2010.

I suggest to use:

=ThirtyDaysAfter(A1,Holidays)

Function ThirtyDaysAfter(dt As Date, vHolidays As Variant) As Date

Dim vwh(1 To 7, 1 To 2) As Variant

vwh(1, 1) = 0: vwh(1, 2) = 1

vwh(2, 1) = 0: vwh(2, 2) = 1

vwh(3, 1) = 0: vwh(3, 2) = 1

vwh(4, 1) = 0: vwh(4, 2) = 1

vwh(5, 1) = 0: vwh(5, 2) = 1

vwh(6, 1) = 0: vwh(6, 2) = 1

vwh(7, 1) = 0: vwh(7, 2) = 1

ThirtyDaysAfter = Int(add_hours(dt, 30.0001, vwh, vHolidays))

End Function

The function add_hours:
