Hello. I am looking for a way to count the number of work days between two dates. However rather than being a constant 2 day weekend, I need to be able to choose how long a work week is. Also, rather than having to adjust the formula for every scenario, I would like it to reference cells that contain the data for the formula.
In the attached example, I have a formula in D2 that does a similar function. It takes the following variable data:
1. A1: Job duration in work days
2. B2: Number of work days in a week
3. C2: Job start date
....and returns the end date of the job in cell D2.
What I need is the opposite. I need to be able to enter:
1. Number of work days in a week
2. Job start date
3. Job end date
.... and return the Job duration in work days
I am not a proficient excel user. It is probably simple to tweak the formula I already have but I don't understand how it works; I just found it on the internet. From what I've read, Networkdays.Intl seems like a solution, but I don't have that option on my version of excel.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have.
Jaron
PS: for any visitors who are unable to download the example, the formula in D2 is as follows: =C2-WEEKDAY(C2,3)+INT(7/B2*(A2+MIN(5,WEEKDAY(C2,3))))
