firstworkdate()

FirstWorkDate(Today(), 1, ’04-Jul-2014′)

Note: Today is 6th July 2014.

This function returns 03-Jul-2014 because 06-Jul-2014 is Sunday, 05-Jul-2014 is Saturday and 04-Jul-2014 is a holiday

if it is 2015 on the same date how can i go back to application and edit 2015 instead of 2014??

is there any solution to write with out years??

What are you trying to solve with this? Do you only want to use this specific date? Is there a range of years you'd like to use? There are a few ways to accomplish what you're looking to do, but more details are needed.

You can also go out and scrape government websites too to get a list, depending on your location as well, to get a list of holidays. The put them into a variable and use the variable in your calculation.

firstworkdate(Today(), 1, $(vHolidays))

I've attached an example for getting the data.
