Hi
I'm been trying to install a MS Excel spreadsheet 'Annual Leave Planner' ,
as created by http://www.meadinkent.co.uk/conditional-formatting.htm.

I'm fairly well up on spreadsheets but can't get my head around the end part
of the formula: and what it means plus if I insert the same name with
another leave date booked, it inserts all the dates as soon as I type the
name. The line of code that's gining me the problem is:

SUMPRODUCT(($A5=SNames)*(SFrom<=F$4) * (STo>=F$4)) +
IF(WEEKDAY(F$4,2)>5,2,0)

Its the IF statement that I can't understand.

I can get the cells to change by changing parameters (F$4,2) to say a 1,
but I just don't understand the setup.
Can anyone help please, please, pretty please, explain, as its becoming so
frustrating AND I won't give up.

Many thanks for any help.
Alan

Think the IF has just dawned on me but I'll leave it to you guys.
 
Hi Peter

Weekday(F4,2) will return a day number where Monday is 1 and Sunday is
7.
If the result is greater than 5, i.e we are dealing with a Saturday or a
Sunday, then add 2 days otherwise add nothing.
