Number of Saturdays within a range of dates

[Guest]

What, if any, formula can I use to count the number of Saturdays between 2
dates?
Thanks!

This is a tricky blighter, heres my answer

part a part b part c
part d
=INT((1+G23-G22)/7)+
IF(WEEKDAY(1+G23-7*INT((G23-G22)/7))<=MOD((1+G23-G22),7),1,0)

g23 is end date, g22 is old date

Explanation

part a works out the number of whole weeks in the date range, they are
assumed to be inclusive dates which is why I add 1

part c finds out, working backwards from the end date the number of whole
weeks we found a, what day of the week we get to.

Part d establishes how many days we had left over in part a

Part b, the if, compares the day of the week we worked back to against the
number of days left over to see if we can include another saturday

Start date in D1, End date in D2:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(D1&":"&D2)))=7))

start date in A1 and end date in A2

=SUMPRODUCT(N(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&A2)),2)=6))

Hi Ruben,

With
A1=Start Date and
A2=End Date,

=INT((A2-WEEKDAY(A2-6)-A1+8)/7)
