    Formula needed to calculate working days in specified month between two dates

    Hi,

    Does anyone know a formula I could use to tell me the number of working days in a specified month between start and end dates? I have the start and end dates in separate columns and the month in a separate cell.

    Thanks!

    Look at the Networkdays function...

    =Networkdays(startdate, enddate, holidays)

    Holidays is an optional range for you to enter holiday dates to be excluded from the count.

    Are your normal workdays Monday thru Friday? Will you need to exclude any holiday dates?

    Hi,

    The workdays are Monday - Friday and holidays shouldn't be excluded. The tricky part is that I need to specify the month between the start and end date for which the working days should be calculated.

    For example, if the start date is April 1, 2013 and the end date is May 17, 2013, I want to calculate only the working days in May 2013.

    So then it's the month of the EndDate that matters?

    Try

    =NETWORKDAYS(MAX(StartDate,EndDate-DAY(EndDate)+1),EndDate)

    Why can't you just define the period as May 1 2013 thru May 17 2013?

    If you have start date in A2 and end date in B2 then list the 1st of each month in C1 across and then use this formula in C2 copied across for the number of workdays in each month

    =MAX(0,NETWORKDAYS(MAX($A2,C$1),MIN($B2,EOMONTH(C$1,0))))

    You can format Row 1 as mmm-yyyy or similar
