Calculating days between current date and a date in future NETWORKDAYS() function

F

Faheem Khan

Hi,

I have tried using the networkdays() function as described in the help
topics.
However it doesnt' seem to help. The cell has the following formula and it
displays #NAME?
=networkdays(B9,B10,{38395;38396;38402;38403;38409;38410;38416;38417;38423;3
8424})

B9 = 2/10/2005
B10 = 3/18/2005 &
the rest of it is a range B11:B20 which contains dates for the weekends
between the values in B9 & B10

Expected: I am expecting it to display the number of days between B9 & B10
dates excluding the weekends specified.
Actual: #NAME?

If you can please correct where I am wrong OR an alternate way of getting
this is fine too.

Your help is appreciated.

Regards
-Faheem

You need to install the Analysis Toolpak Add-in (Tools/Add-ins, check
the appropriate checkbox).

You need to check Excel HELP for the function:

====================
If this function is not available, and returns the #NAME? error, install and
load the Analysis ToolPak add-in.

How?

On the Tools menu, click Add-Ins.
In the Add-Ins available list, select the Analysis ToolPak box, and then click
OK.
If necessary, follow the instructions in the setup program.
