Skip weekends while autofilling dates in excel

Hi,

I am using MS Office 2007 and for some reason, it does not show me these options. It just shows me 3 options:

Copy Cell (Not sure about the exact text)
Copy with Formatting
Copy without Formatting

Any idea how to get those options up?

Regards,
Deep

Now that was FAST!!!

I tried it but unfortunately it didn’t work..

Here is the screenshot:

This is what I tried..

I put the date in one row, in another row, added some calculations (as you can see in the image) and drag the content in other rows..

I could not find any Edit menu so i just clicked on the icon as you have shown in the 2nd image..

I hope I did the right thing…

@Deep:

you have to use the autofill handle, the small box at the lower right of the active cell. Right click on the autofill handle and drag down to the cells you want to autofill. A menu pops up showing the weekdays only option and others.

@Chandoo - Thanks but it did not work with my calculations.

@Robert - Yes, it worked this time but I guess, in my case it won’t work as I want to add up the days from the column on the left. (As shown in the image)

Basically this is what I want:

1. I want to define project start date
2. There are no. of days assigned for each module
3. I want excel to calculate the date automatically. (By adding up the no. of days and deducting the weekends)

Any kind of help is appriciated.

Reagrds,
Deep

@Deep,

sorry, I misunderstood your question, I thought you would be searching for the autofill-function only (values).

If I got your request corrctly now, you could use the WORKDAY-function, returning the date before or after a specified number of workdays.

In Excel 2003 and earlier the Add-In Analysis Toolpak has to be installed, but since you are using 2007, it should work immediately.

Thanks Robert, Chandoo.. I will try the things..

I tried it and this time it worked.. Thanks to both of you.. you guys made my life much more easier
