Hi,

The second argument of NETWORKDAYS function should be a date, not a whole number.

And this function gives you the net working days between two dates with taking into account the weekends and holidays and subtract from this net!

But I guess that you want to return the due date after a specific number of days (20) with taking into account the weekends and holidays!

If so, please replace this:

=IF(H4="","",NETWORKDAYS(H4,20,W4:AP4))

With this:

=IF(H4="","",WORKDAY(H4,20,W4:AP4))

  Trust you experience and knowledge on this. (i did have my formula setup just like that and an assistant to my supervisor) went to him and told him her formula was more accurate.
