Thumbs up Answer: count wednesdays within a month

Here's how you can count the number of Wednesdays in a month using Microsoft Excel:
  1. First, create a new Excel sheet and enter the months of the year in column A (starting from A1) and the year in column B (starting from B1).
  2. In column C, enter the formula "
    Code:
    =EOMONTH(DATE(B1,A1,1),0)
    " - this will give you the last day of the month for each month and year combination.
  3. In column D, enter the formula "
    Code:
    =NETWORKDAYS(DATE(B1,A1,1),C1)
    " - this will give you the total number of working days (excluding weekends) in the month.
  4. Finally, in column E, enter the formula "
    Code:
    =NETWORKDAYS.INTL(DATE(B1,A1,1),C1,11)
    " - this will give you the total number of Wednesdays in the month (assuming that Wednesday is the 3rd day of the week, which is represented by the number 11 in the formula).
  5. Copy the formulas in columns C, D, and E for all the months of the year.

That's it! You should now have a table that shows the last day of each month, the total number of working days in each month, and the total number of Wednesdays in each month for the year you specified.
