NETWORKDAYS should yield a higher count of days as time goes by, but it does
not for some reason.

It gives you the number of working days between the dates so it increases if
the second date increases but may not if the next date is an holiday.

Share the formula you are entering and how you are testing it.

=NETWORKDAYS(S2,A2). However, I believe the problem was the date format in
the second column (mm-yyy) conflicted with the date format in the first
column (dd-mmm-yyy). It seems to work now.

Thanks, Sheeloo.

Date format has nothing to do with it, as all functions, including
Networkdays, ignore the format. Formatting is just for appearance. All
functions use the underlying value.

Well, the underlying value in the second column did not include a day in the
date. When I added the day to the date, it worked.

Thank you.

That's because you had text in the cell originally, and changed it to a
number. Formatting had nothing to do with it.

What formula are you using?
What date values are in the cells to which the formula refers?
What value did you get from the formula?
What value did you expect?
Have you ensured that Tools/ Options/ Calculation is set to Automatic, not
Manual?

David: The cell contained text. I added a date (or day figure) to the text,
thus converting it to a date and it worked.

Thank you.
