Hi Bob,

When I try this formula I get a name error. do you know why?

I told you weekedns were a problem <bg

I think this works for all situations

=NETWORKDAYS(I2,J2)-(WEEKDAY(I2,2)<6)
+(1-MOD(I2,1))*(WEEKDAY(I2,2)<6)
+(MOD(J2,1)-1)*(WEEKDAY(J2,2)<6)

That formula worked on everything but these four date ranges:

I J
8/19/2006 22:43 8/21/2006 8:22
7/30/2006 16:21 7/31/2006 15:33
7/29/2006 15:16 7/31/2006 7:48
8/27/2006 22:55 8/28/2006 9:17

These all resulted in 0 0:00 and I am not sure why. However, I have
what
I
need for my project so thank you so much for all your help!!! I would
have
never figured out the MOD command on my own. Thanks!

There seem to be various problems with weekend dates. This seems more

I think I figured it out. This formula seems to be working -



=IF(NOT(NETWORKDAYS(I2,I2)),J2-I2,(NETWORKDAYS(I2,J2)-1+MOD(J2,1)-MOD(I2,1))
)

Thanks for all your help Bob!!!

Bob, that worked great except I know have one minor quirk. When
the
'received' date happens to fall on a weekend day, I
(understandibly)
get
a
negative result (########). Is there anything I can add to the
formula
to
prevent these few instances? Possibly an Excel version of the
IF,
THEN,
ELSE
statement?

THANKS!

I am trying to figure out how to subtract a cell containing a
mm/dd/yyyy
hh:mm format from another cell with the same format and
exclude
the
weekends.


Example:

A1(received): 7/28/06 15:28
A2(submitted): 7/31/06 16:07
A3 The difference in these two dates and times, excluding
the
weekend, to
determine the total turn around time.

The answer should reflect 1 day and 39 minutes in a format
such
as d
hh:mm
or any other format that would make this easier.

I have the entire list of Excel functions and have tried all
of
them
that
I
think are logical but I can't seem to get the correct days
and
time
brought
together into a single cell answer. Any help would be
GREATLY
appreciated!

I am using Excel 2003.

Thanks!
