This function works great if I don't try to exclude the holiday....Here's my
problem, I have columns for the entire month and I need to calculate the number of weekdays AND the number of weekdays less the holidays....this works fine if my holidays are in a row i.e. 12/24 and 12/25 (AV5:AV6); however, if I would like to take the 31st out also, it gives me the #value signal....any help out there? |

What formula are you using, and what data values are in the cells which the
formula calls up? -- David Biddulph "Lyn" wrote in message ...

A date in your "holiday" range is text. Perhaps when you entered 12/31/2008 you entered a leading <space? --ron |

Perhaps you missed the second half of my sentence?
"... and what data values are in the cells which the formula calls up?" Also, I'm confused by your reply saying "I would like to get rid of BJ5". BJ5 is the end date, so how can you calculate the number of working days between start date and end date if you get rid of the end date? -- David Biddulph "Lyn" wrote in message ...

Yeah, the last day in December is the 31st, a holiday....I figured out a way to do it by using the serial numbers of the date cells, so I came up with the following: =NETWORKDAYS(B5,BJ5,{39806,0,39807,0,39813,0,}) Thanks to everyone.

Sorry, Lyn, you are still making it very difficult for us to help you. You
still haven't answered the questions, and you still haven't told us what it was that you thought didn't work. You talked of using the formula =NETWORKDAYS(B5,BJ5,AV5:AY5) If AV5:AY5 contains 24 Dec 08, 25 Dec 08, and 31 Dec 08 respectively, and you've got 1 Dec 08 and 1 Feb 09 in B5 and BJ5 it seems to be working in the same way that it would have done if you'd had AV5:AW5 as your second parameter (in other words only 24 and 25 Dec 08). Including 31 Dec 08 removes one more working day from the result, as we would expect it to. What were you doing when it gave you the #VALUE! answer? I don't understand why you've got the zeros in the array you've included below =NETWORKDAYS(B5,BJ5,{39806,0,39807,0,39813,0,}) but they shouldn't cause a problem. What does cause a problem is the stray comma at the end of the string. =NETWORKDAYS(B5,BJ5,{39806,0,39807,0,39813,0,0}) would be legal, but =NETWORKDAYS(B5,BJ5,{39806,0,39807,0,39813,0,}) wouldn't. =NETWORKDAYS(B5,BJ5,{39806,0,39807,0,39813,0,0}) gives the same result as =NETWORKDAYS(B5,BJ5,AV5:AY5) does, given that AV5:AY5 contains 24 Dec 08, 25 Dec 08, and 31 Dec 08 respectively as described above. If you tell us what your problem was, we can try to explain it for you. The sort of thing which would give a #VALUE! error, as someone said earlier, is if AY5 didn't contain a real date value for 31 Dec 08, but contained a text string which Excel didn't interpret as a date. -- David Biddulph "Lyn" wrote in message ...
