Working days

How can I work out how many weekdays from now to a given date in the future?

RE: Working days

Hi Ania,


Thank you for your question.

To calculate the number of weekdays between two dates you need to use the NETWORKDAYS function (don't think of it as Network Days but rather as Net Workdays.)

Start date is in cell A2
End date is in cell B2
Number of Workdays formula in cell C3

=NETWORKDAYS(A2,B2)

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.


If you require further assistance, please reply to this post.

RE: Working days

Hi Ania

This should also work in Excel 2003...

So an example would be....

In cell A2, the start date 16/12/10
In cell B2 the end date 25/12/10
In cell C2 the formula =NETWORKDAYS(A2,B2)

After pressing Enter you should get the number of working days between your start date & end date.

If you're still experiencing any issues with this function, do let me know.

Excel tip:

Calculate difference between two times

For presenting the result in the standard time format (hours : minutes : seconds . Use the subtraction operator (-) to find the difference between times, and the TEXT function to format the returned value to text in a specific number format.

Hours never exceed 24, minutes never exceed 60, and seconds never exceed 60.

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h")
Hours between two times (4)

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm")
Hours and minutes between two times (4:55)

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm:ss")
Hours and seconds between two times (4:55:00)

Where B2 and A2 must hold the end time and start time respectively formatted as a time format
