Thanks Bob for the really quick response. I already made the list of holidays
and fed it to the formula. If I understand correctly, all I need to do is to
subtract one from the formula resut to get the TAT minus the holidays
specified only.

For example, if start date is 1st Nov and end date is 6th, with 3rd being a
holiday, I need the formula to return the answer as 4 days (Only 3rd being
excluded, all other days should be included)

Can you let me know?

Kathrik,

It emulates NETWORKDAYS, so it includes both the start and end date, not the
difference between them. Just subtract one if you want it the other way.

It already handles holidays. Build a list of holiday dates, and name it
holidays.

Thanks a lot Bob. One question though - in some cases the formula result
shows an extra day as compared to a straight calculation (end_date -
start_date). Could you please explain?

Another question - If I wanted to calculate the TAT including all days
between start and end date (including the weekends) and exclude only
certain
specific holidays, is there a way this could be done?

SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(MATCH(WEEKDAY(holidays),{2;3;4 ;5;6;7},0))*(holidays=sta
rt_date)*(holidays<=end_date))

I am aware of the NETWORKDAYS function in EXCEL for TAT (Turn Around
Time)
Calculations between days excluding weekends and holidays. However, I
want
to
know if there is a way of doing the same calculation including
Saturdays
only
since it is considered as a workday for my calculation purposes.

Is there any way this can be done with a formula available in Excel
2002?
