Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi lasttry, Are you booking at RBKC? It will be the same 9 digit ref starting 02 on the top right hand corner of your approval email pdf attachment or invitation letter. Just make sure you input your full name as in the application. Best of luck! [quote=lasttry post_id=1971569 time=1607993850 user_i...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi there, can you please check this formula, I think it's correct but the references in the locked cell are incorrect e.g. '$A6' not '$A8' etc etc Thanks

Cell B6 = [size=85]=MAX($A8,WORKDAY(B$2,ROUNDUP(NETWORKDAYS(B$4,$A8)*NETWORKDAYS($A$2,B$2)/NETWORKDAYS($A$4,B$4),0)))[/size]
