My supervisor asked me to calculate how long it takes to perform certain
projects. In one column I have start date and the other is the end date.

I would like to calculate the number of days in between but take out the
non-business days (i.e. Saturday, Sunday).

Is this possible? Thanks.

With Start Date in A1 and End Date in B1 try the below formula in C1 which
will give you the number of days from to both inclusive (except weekends)

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

I might point out that some people (like me) do not include some public
holidays as workdays and NETWORKDAYS can take a list of holidays.
