Dates formula

Guest

Hi

I want to deduct 2 dates. I also want to deduct weekend days if they are
within the period of time of the calculation. e.i

10/23/07 - 10/18/07 = 5 days minus 2 weekend days = 3 days

I want to get 3 days result.

Could someone help with this formula please.

Thanks

Hi Orquidea

try this formula

=((A1-A2-WEEKDAY(A1)+WEEKDAY(A2)-7)/7*5)+WEEKDAY(A1)-WEEKDAY(A2)+5

where A1 is the later date.

Take a look at the help on the NETWORKDAYS function. It will give you
the difference between 2 dates. It will exclude weekends and allow
you to have a 'range of holidays' to exclude as well. -pb

Hi

With 10/23/07 in A1 and 18/10/07 in B1
=NETWORKDAYS(B1,A1)-1
You need to deduct 1 if you want a result of 3, as Networkdays includes the
whole of the first and last days.

Networkdays is part of the Analysis Toolpak.
