Hello, I know how to increment a date by calendar date: ticker$ldate <- ticker$tdate + days(5) How do I increment it by business days only so that week-ends are not counted? So for example friday november 2 + 5days becomes friday november 9 & not wednesday nov 7. Thanks for your help. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Using-lubridate-to-increment-date-by-business-days-only-tp4649414.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
