Press ⌘+Enter to submit
start_date:
The date from which to start counting the workdays. This can be a date value, a cell reference containing a date, or a formula that returns a date.
num_days:
The number of workdays to add to the start_date. This must be a positive or negative integer that indicates how many workdays to move forward or backward.

The WORKDAY function in Google Sheets is a useful tool for calculating a date that is a specified number of working days from a start date. This function is particularly valuable for project management, scheduling, and planning, as it allows users to account for weekends and holidays when determining deadlines or timelines.
In simpler terms, WORKDAY helps you find a future date by skipping over non-working days, ensuring that you only consider business days in your calculations.
Imagine you are managing a project with a deadline that is based on working days:
| Task | Start Date | Duration (Days) |
|---|---|---|
| Task A | 2023-10-01 | 5 |
| Task B | 2023-10-08 | 3 |
You want to determine the end date for each task, considering only working days.
To achieve this, you would use the WORKDAY function as follows:
=WORKDAY(B2, C2)
In this formula:
B2 is the cell containing the Start Date for the task.C2 is the cell containing the Duration in working days.When you apply the WORKDAY formula to the Project Timeline, the output would look like this:
| Task | Start Date | Duration (Days) | End Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task A | 2023-10-01 | 5 | 2023-10-08 |
| Task B | 2023-10-08 | 3 | 2023-10-11 |
In this case, Task A starts on October 1st and ends on October 8th, while Task B starts on October 8th and ends on October 11th.
WORKDAY is beneficial because it simplifies the process of calculating deadlines and timelines in project management. It automatically excludes weekends and can also be customized to exclude specific holidays, making it a powerful tool for accurate scheduling.
WORKDAY is an essential function for anyone involved in project planning and management, providing a straightforward way to enhance scheduling accuracy.
Happy planning!
You have a project timeline in Column A with start dates. Use the WORKDAY formula in Column B to calculate the end date for each task, excluding weekends and holidays. This helps ensure accurate scheduling and resource allocation for project completion.
