    Hi,

    Using this for work and while what I have is ok, I wouldnt mind refining it if possible (and easy!). Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    I used the following calc:

    =$E2+5-TODAY()

    E2 = date at which I input data
    F grid = "Days Due" column

    In this instance I give myself 5 days to complete the information.

    Is there anyway of doing this equation to make these only workdays? I understand I can just make it 7 days, but on a friday it could be easy to forget that you only have 1 day if something is due on a monday (would say 3 days left).

    Also, is it possible to have something on the lines of "5 days left" or "overdue" once its passed the deadline ?

    Lastly, is it possible to have dropdown options on the F grid (Days due) so that I could choose differant options (ie 5, 10, 14 days etc).

    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Use this =NETWORKDAYS($E2+5,TODAY())

    Have you considered Holidays?
    If so create a column of Holiday dates (example G2 to G25)
    Then use =NETWORKDAYS($E2+5,TODAY(),G2:G25)
