Using Excel 2010 & 2013 (will be used in both versions), what is the best way to create a variable date that excludes weekends (and holidays, if possible)?
My scenario, where PrevDate= 2014-Jan-02 and LastDate=2014-Jan-03: 1. Open an existing workbook with file name: FilePath & PrevDate & "_Outages.xlsx" 2. Save the workbook with a different file name: FilePath & LastDate & "_Outages.xlsx" I've tried WORKDAY in VBA, but haven't gotten it to work properly. My last attempt at this was to add the WORKDAY formula in a cell in an open workbook, then reference that cell/range in my VBA code. This is not my ideal workaround, however - as I cannot get the file to open using this most recent method. This is very hard to explain when writing it out! Here's my code. When I run it, I get an error indicating the existing workbook (Q:\Transfer\June\VBA\2014-01-02_Outages.xlsx) does not exist - even though it does. Sheets("Sheet1").Name = "Dates" Columns("A:A").Font.Bold = True Columns("B:B").NumberFormat = "yyyy-mmm-dd" Range("A3") = "TODAY" Range("B3").FormulaR1C1 = "=today()" Range("A4") = "{last}" Range("B4").FormulaR1C1 = "=workday(R[-1]C,-1)" Range("A5") = "{prev}" Range("B5").FormulaR1C1 = "=workday(R[-2]C,-2)" Range("A6") = "{prev}-1" Range("B6").FormulaR1C1 = "=workday(R[-3]C,-3)" Sheets("Dates").Select CurrDate = Format(Range("B3"), "yyyy-mmm-dd") LastDate = Format(Range("B4"), "yyyy-mm-dd") PrevDate = Format(Range("B5"), "yyyy-mm-dd") PriorDate = Format(Range("B6"), "yyyy-mm-dd") FilePath = "Q:\Transfer\June\VBA\" Workbooks.Open Filename:=FilePath & PrevDate & "_Outages.xlsx" ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FilePath & LastDate & "_Outages.xlsx" Any suggestions? Thank you so much! -- Are you =EXP(E:RT) or =NOT(EXP(E:RT)) in Excel? And do you wanna be? It’s =TIME(2,DO:IT,N:OW) !
