Look at NETWORKDAYS function in help, it can handle both situations you
describe. It is part of the Analysis Toolpak, so you would need to install
that.

I have this very simple formula: =N42-K42 Both N42 and K42 are dates.

QUESTION #1
Is there a way to incorporate into this formula something that would
exclude
weekends when it calculates the number of days' difference?

QUESTION #2
Is there also a way to incorporate into this formula something that would
exclude statutory holidays when it calulcates the difference? I assume I
would need to put a list of statutory holidays somewhere in the worksheet
or
on another worksheet.

Thank you
Connie Martin
