Remarks

  1. See Weekend for a list of supported weekends and their designated numbers/codes.
  2. See Holidays for a list of currently supported holidays.
  3. See Calendars for a list of currently supported calendars.
  4. If the given date falls on a weekend, NxWKNDate adjusts it either forward (next) or backward (last).
  5. The return date corresponds to the first weekend day when return-type = 1 (next).
  6. The return date corresponds to the last weekend day when return-type = 2 (last).
  7. Most functions automatically convert date values to serial numbers.
  8. If start_date is not a valid date, NxWKNDate returns the #VALUE! error value.
  9. If Calendar is not recognized (i.e., not supported), NxWKNDate returns the #VALUE! error value.
  10. Excel stores date as sequential serial numbers so they can be used in calculations. By default, January 1, 1900, is serial number 1, and January 1, 2008, is serial number 39448 because it is 39,448 days after January 1, 1900.
