You'll probably want to use IF with the WEEKDAY function to test the day of the week and then alter the date to avoid weekends.

I created this function =IF(WEEKDAY(A2,2)>5,"Weekend","") on column B (column A is the date) to identify the weekends. Now I'm trying to figure out how to hide the dates that have Weekend. Thanks for the help!

Now that you have a weekday column, you can apply a column filter.
