One possible option: ---------------------------------- SET VAR vtest1 DATE = ( DNW ( #DATE ) ) SET VAR vtest2 DATE = ( DNW ( .vtest1 ) ) SET VAR vtest3 DATE = ( DNW ( .vtest2 ) ) SET VAR vtest4 DATE = ( DNW ( .vtest3 ) ) ... ---------------------------------- and so on until you get the number of days you need since the function increments by one. One line for every day added and the output variable being what the last line is set to. Another Option: ---------------------------------- SET VAR vloopcount1 = 0 SET VAR vloopcount2 = 7 SET VAR vtestdate DATE = #date WHILE vloopcount1 < vloopcount2 THEN SET VAR vtestdate = ( DNW ( .vtestdate ) ) SET VAR vloopcount1 = ( .vloopcount1 + 1 ) IF vloopcount2 <> 0 THEN Continue ENDIF BREAK ENDWHILE ---------------------------------- This option allows you to not have so many variables with the output variable being vtestdate. Also, it's easy to change the number of days by changing what vloopcount2 is set to.

So how do I add to a present date, let’s say 05/04/2020 seven days in the future but eliminate the weekends? I see functions for IDWK and TDWK but am unsure how to create the var that gives me seven business days out.
