Counting dates but excluding weekends

[Sara]

Is there a function to count the difference of days, but to exclude the
weekend?

For example, Cell A2 has the date Monday, August 11, 2008 and cell A4 has
the date Tuesday, August 19, 2008

What would the function be to count the number of days in between?

Check out help on the WORKDAYS function.

Note that the Analysis Toolpak add-in must be loaded.

Hi Sara
Try:
=NETWORKDAYS(A2,A4)

Hi Sara

If you are not able to use the Analysis Toolpak function Workdays, as
already suggested, then you could use
=SUMPRODUCT(--(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A2&":"&A4)))<6))
