How Do I Use Zola Suite's Date Calculator?

For instance, if you need to complete a task 60 days prior to a certain date, you would input "-60" in the adjustment days field. If you need to calculate 60 days after a certain date, you would input "60" in the adjustment days field. You also have the option to account for weekends, Federal Holidays, and dates that fall on a Saturday or Sunday.
