NETWORKDAYS does not count Saturday and Sunday and there is a parameter to
discount holidays.

See help on networkdays functions.

Networkdays counts full days only.

You are trying to count hours worked during the same day.

I receive 0 from your posted values and formula.

Don't know how you get 192:00

For more on performing arithmetic with dates and time see Chip Pearson's
site.

Ok I tried that: =NETWORKDAYS(D7,E7)*8 where D7 = 10/2/2008 9:22 and E7 =
10/2/2008 11:24 and I received 192:00 as the answer.

The answer should be 2 hour and 2 minutes or 2:02.

Why did this not work? I need to make sure we are not counting weekends.
Would be nice if we could discount Holidays as well.

First you count the number of workdays, then multiply by 9 to get hours
worked on those days.

=NETWORKDAYS(A2,A14) where A2 is sept 11, 2008 and A14 is sept 23, 2008

Returns 9 days

Formula is =NETWORKDAYS(A2,A14)*9 returns 81 hours.

If employees get docked one hour for lunch, multiply by 8

NETWORKDAYS needs the Anaalysis Toolpak add-in loaded.

I have created a spreadsheet in which there is a committed ship date as
opposed to the actual ship date. However, I need this calculated difference
to be in work days. Does anyone have a formula for this?
