Remove holidays from calculation

[Sal]

=IF(COUNT(K13:L13)<>2,"",NETWORKDAYS(K13,L13)-1)

This formula already excludes weekends from the calculation.

Do you know how I could improve this formula so that it does not include
holidays in the calculation, I can specify the holidays, and I will not get
an error message if Column K is blank?

Or

Do you know how I can improve this formula so that if Column K is blank I
will not get a #VALUE! message where the calculation should be?

=NETWORKDAYS(K13,L14,Holidays!A1:A29)-1

Someone didn't read the help files for the NETWORKDAYS function...

"Syntax: NETWORKDAYS(start_date,end_date,holidays)
.....
.....
Holidays is an optional range of one or more dates to
exclude from the working calendar, such as state and
federal holidays and floating holidays. The list can be
either a range of cells that contains the dates or an
array constant of the serial numbers that represent the
dates."

If text is not a number, the Value function will return #VALUE!
Look here for detailed description:

I couldn't reproduce the #VALUE! scenario that you described, but maybe some
of those cells are formatted as text? Try to convert (select > right-click >
format cells > date) them all to values and see what happens.

Someone didn't read the OP's complete message and that person is... me!
Sorry, I didn't see your whole message (mainly because I didn't scroll down
to the bottom of it).

=NETWORKDAYS(K13,L14,Holidays!A1:A29)-1

How about this...

=IF(OR(K13="",L14=""),"",NETWORKDAYS(K13,L14,Holidays!A1:A29)-1)

Hello. Thank you for the tip. I tried out the conversion suggestions and I
got the same result.

I think the problem might be due to the fact that another formula resides in
Column K that will only pull data into the cell if certain conditions are
met. Since I am only having problems with those cells that are blank I am
thinking this is the cause of the problem.

This also might be why you cannot reproduce the problem That being said, do
you know how else I might be able to resolve the problem I am having?

Hi Rick. Thank you for the input. I am looking to reference a list of
holidays from a range that contains the dates in a worksheet called Holidays.
I am not sure I completely understand.

Are you recommending to include NETWORKDAYS(start_date,end_date,holidays)
somewhere in this formula?

=NETWORKDAYS(K13,L14,Holidays!A1:A29)-1

I'm still not sure what the problem is here. Click the little question mark
symbol in the Main Excel view. Type 'NETWORKDAYS' and yo will see a good
example of this this function works. Copy/paste the example into a sheet
(fills cells A1:C7), and enter this function into cell E3;
=NETWORKDAYS(B3,B4,B5:B7)

What result do you get? 108? That is correct. Look at the logic.

I renamed a sheet to Holidays and entered =TODAY() in Cell A1. in A2 I put
=A1+1 then filled down until A29. now, back to the first sheet, enter this
in cell E3: =NETWORKDAYS(B3,B4,Holidays!A1:A29)

What result do you get? You should get 88. try it. Try to adopt that for
your specific example. Post back with any additional, specific, questions.

Wow this is great. I think the problem I am having might have been specific
to the worksheet. Thank you a lot for your help with this. I appreciate it
very much.

Thank you Rick. This works well. I think you figured it out. I am thankful
for your help. Thank you!
