Nothing wrong with his formula, if you get value error then you must have
text in one or the other cell

Using Mike's formula on your data I get

43:30:00
70:00:00
46:00:00

Your first number is wrong, 91:30:00 are the total number of hours not
excluding the weekend

This is an example of what I am doing. When I use your formula, I get a
value error. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

Never mind, here's both solutions


Change your working day to suit.
=(NETWORKDAYS(A1,B1,Holidays)-1)*("17:00"-"08:00")+MOD(B1,1)-MOD(A1,1)

If a weekday day is 24 hours
=(NETWORKDAYS(A1,B1,Holidays)-1)+MOD(B1,1)-MOD(A1,1)

In both cases 'Holidays' is a named range that contains your holiday
dates.
Format both as [hh]:mm
