Here is the help details on the NETWORKDAYS function
Returns the number of whole working days between start_date and end_date.
Working days exclude weekends and any dates identified in holidays. Use
NETWORKDAYS to calculate employee benefits that accrue based on the number
of days worked during a specific term.
If this function is not available, run the Setup program to install the
Analysis ToolPak. After you install the Analysis ToolPak, you must enable it
