EXCEL FORMULA HELP

Copper Contributor

Good Afternoon Everyone.

 

I am relatively new to Excel and would like someone's advice on writing a formula to do the following.

 

  •  I have a product arriving for example on 10/08/20  (Monday)
  • The product needs to be dispatched on the third business day (13/08/20 - Thursday)

 

I would like to write a formula so that when I enter the date a product arrives, it will indicate on what day it needs to be dispatched.  Where I am having difficulty is when a product arrives late in the week, I cannot find a way to write a formula that will skip the weekends (sat & sun) so that the dispatch date will still be the third business day.

 

Also would it be possible to build in Public Holidays as well.

 

Many thanks in advance
