Hello George, sorry for my tardy reply. I looked it over and it looks good but I ahv a follow up if you coujld be so kind.
If I enter 11/3/2022 and a holiday is 10/31/2022 then 5 days prior should be: 10/26 but i think it returns 10/27 in column Business Days Before.
I am not sure if I am entering the data correctly though and/or understand how it works.
Could you kindly assist?

BusinessDayBeforeDate(DateAdd("yyyy",-2,[Holiday]),5)
- Tony2021Mar 11, 2022Steel ContributorWhat do you mean? I am not sure what is 2 years in the past?

Oops, I was thinking of Thanksgiving, not Halloween.
The only other thing I can think of is that I used dates two years in the past.
Perhaps that's causing the discrepancy?

George, I dont see any other holiday between 11/3/22 and 10/26/22 other than Halloween 10/31/22
- George_HepworthMar 11, 2022Silver ContributorOh, That's over Thanksgiving, right? I think in my table I have both Thursday (day) and Friday (day after) as holidays. Do you have them both?

Hi George,
What could I be doing wrong if get a different answer on my end? I enter the same date 11/3/22 but it returns 10/27/22 and not 10/26/22 like you show above in your pic? There is a holiday in the holidaytable of Mon 10/31/22.
