Default Date Calculation problem

Hello,

I have a work sheet with "JIRA" priority levels and dates the JIRA was
created. Each priority leve allows a certain number of days to be complete
the JIRA. I need to be able to figure out if we resolved the JIRA within the
allotted number of days, excluding:

1. weekends
2. holidays

I have tried to use the NETWORKDAYS() function, but I cannot use this
function because I do not know the due date of the JIRA.

I used the weekday function to add days for weekends and come up with the
actual due date....but this does not take holidays into account.

My data basically looks like:
A B C
Priority date entered Date Completed
P - 1 1/1/10 1/5/10
P - 2 1/2/10 1/6/10
P - 3 1/3/10 1/7/10
P - 4 1/4/10 1/8/10

I also have a table of holidays. This table is a range named "holidays"

A B
New Years Day 1/1/2010
Martin Luther day 1/18/2010
memorial day 5/31/2010

How can I come up with the due date for the JIRAs, based on the entry date
and take into account priority, weekends and holidays?

Thanks,

Pete

Use the Workday function, rather than Weekday. It supports holidays as
required.
