    Determining start date if I have the end date identified

    Hi all, first time here and total excel newbie and appreciate in advance any help y'all can provide.

    I am trying to create a formula where I take the date in column D (my end date) and subtract 14 business weeks. The sum of that would then be placed in Column C (my start date).

    For example
    Column C is the start date which is the sum of the date in Column D minus 14 business weeks. The result needs to be a day of the work week and also not fall on a US holiday (if possible) nor on a weekend (Sat/Sun).

    Thanks!

    Hello and welcome to Excel Forum

    You can use WORKDAY function to add or subtract business days. You will need to list the holiday dates, so say you list those in H2:H10 then try this formula in C2

    =WORKDAY(D2-7*14+1,-1,H$2:H$10)
