thanks peo. i am familiar with the function. my question is how to build the
"if" logic. the formula needs to look at dates in columns b,c,d,e,f inorder
to calculate the correct number of days. can i send you the spreadsheet to
take a look at ?

Look at the NETWORKDAYS function, it is part of the ATP so it must be
installed (or you'll get a name error) but it comes with office/excel


=NETWORKDAYS(start_date,end_date,holidays_if_neede d)

will return the number of workdays

last day of the month in cell H2.


Is it possible to build a formula for Col G that can calculate the business
