count work days excluding Fridays and Saturdays ???

[Guest]

I would like to know how many working days between 2 dates. BUT, the
networkdays function only takes into account SATURDAYS and SUNDAYS as week
end.
I live in a country where week ends are FRIDAYS and SATURDAYS...

Your help will be really appreciated.

Best Regards,

Marouane

Try this:

A1 = start date
B1 = end date
C1:C10 = holiday dates to exclude***

=NETWORKDAYS(A1+1,B1+1,C1:C10)

*** Add 1 day to each holiday date. If 1/1/2007 (m/d/y) is a holiday enter
it as 1/2/2007.

Or, to avoid that confusion enter the actual holiday dates and add the 1 day
directly in the formula. That will make the formula an array and will need
to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just
ENTER):

=NETWORKDAYS(A1+1,B1+1,C1:C10+1)

The following is a general solution that will permit you count the
number of any set of days of the week, not just the 5 consecutive days
excluding 2 "weekend" days:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(WEEKDAY(A1-1+ROW(INDIRECT("a1:a"&A2-
A1+1)))={1,2,3,4,5}))

The above assumes that A1 is the start date and A2 is the end date.

The constant {1,2,3,4,5} represents Sunday through Thursday. But, for
example, if you replace it with {6,7}, the formula will count the
number of "weekend" days, assuming they are Friday and Saturday.

This formula will also give the sam result, although, of course, it doesn't
take account of holidays

=SUM(INT((WEEKDAY(A1-{1,2,3,4,5})+A2-A1)/7))
