I currently have a date coded as mm/cc/yyyy in a cell. In another cell, I would like to subtract a certain number (for the sake of this example let’s say 5) WORKING days.

If, for example, the date was May 16, 2012, then the result would yield May 9, 2012.

Is this possible?

Thank you

    Try this page, Date Arithmetic–specifically the section Subtracting Dates. Note the WORKDAY function in the last paragraph.

    For example, if the source date is in A2 and the days prior (as a nonnegative value) is in B2:

    =TEXT(WORKDAY(A2, B2 * -1), "m/d/yyyy")
