hi,
Can someone please help me with a formula to calculate number of days,
excluding weekend days?

A1 B1 C1
Start date End date Total days (excluding weekend)
From: ozgrid.com on
Use the NETWORKDAY Function.

That looks like a typo (missing S), try

=NETWORKDAYS(start_date,end_date,holidays)

Hello,

If you do no need to take into account holidays, I suggest to use the
4th formula shown at
http://sulprobil.com/html/date_formulas.html

Bernd,

I thought you might be interested in seeing this short one-liner alternative
to your "cwd" function (which requires your "min" function to operate); it
is fully self-contained and, as such, relies only on built-in VB
functions...

Function CWD(D1 As Date, D2 As Date) As Long
CWD = DateDiff("d", D1, D2) - DateDiff("ww", D1, D2) * 2 - _
(Weekday(D2) <> 7) + (Weekday(D1) = 1) + (Weekday(D1, 2) < 6)
End Function

Note that if you remove the last addend, that is the "+(Weekday(d1, 2)<6)"
logical expression, then the function will return the same results as
Excel's NETWORKDAYS function. If we provide the function with an Optional
parameter, we can make it return either result (yours or NETWORKDAYS's) like
so...

Function CWD(D1 As Date, D2 As Date, Optional NWD As Boolean) As Long
CWD = DateDiff("d", D1, D2) - DateDiff("ww", D1, D2) * 2 - _
(Weekday(D2) <> 7) + (Weekday(D1) = 1) - NWD * (Weekday(D1, 2) < 6)
End Function

The default for the NWD (short for NetWorkDays by the way) parameter is
False, meaning it returns the same results as does your "cwd" function...
pass True in for the NWD parameter and the function returns the same values
as Excel's NETWORKDAYS function.
