I have column c with the start date ex. 9/4/2009 and column d leave date ex.
11/02/09. How can I calculate number of school days (no SAT and SUN) that
the student attended between these two dates in column e?

Thanks
Del Dobbs

Wtih start date in A1 and end date in B1; try the below which will give you
the count inclusive of both dates (excluding Sat and Sun)

=(B1-WEEKDAY(B1,2)+WEEKDAY(A1,2)-A1)/7*5-MIN(5,WEEKDAY(A1,2))+MIN(5,WEEKDAY(B1,2))+1

If this post helps click Yes

Excel has a function specifically for this. See:
NETWORKDAYS
in Excel Help.

I saw that function and didn't know how to place/columns in the formula. Do
I select columns c, d, e, and click function and input values? Do I select
column E and format it to take value from columns c and d? I know it must be
something obvious, but I cannot seem to make this work.

Thanks,

=NETWORKDAYS(C1,D1)
If you get a #NAME? error, look at Excel help for the NETWORKDAYS function.

Use NETWORKDAYS ( you will need the analysis addin if using Excel 2003)

Syntax = NETWORKDAYS( Start_date, End_date, Holidays)
