Once you look at it though I think you will agree it is probably better to just add the Analysis Toolpak.<br />

If you always want the previous workday then you can make that a bit simpler, i.e. using this formula<br />
<br />
=H4-MIN(IF(WEEKDAY(H4-{1,2<wbr />,3,4,5,6},<wbr />2)&lt;6,IF(CO<wbr />UNTIF(Holi<wbr />days,H4-{1<wbr />,2,3,4,5,6<wbr />})=0,{1,2,<wbr />3,4,5,6}))<wbr />)<br />
<br />
That assumes that you never have more then 5 successive non-working days (either holidays or weekends)<br />

=H4-MIN(IF(WEEKDAY(H4-{1,2,3,4,5,6},2)<6,IF(COUNTIF(Holidays,H4-{1,2,3,4,5,6})=0,{1,2,3,4,5,6})))

That assumes that you never have more then 5 successive non-working days (either holidays or weekends)
