NETWORKDAYS is an extreemly usefull function especially in building timesheets.
This function is based on the United States of America system, but not all
the world has the same bank holidays, and in some countries one can also have
a working week with 6 days. I would suggest that somehow this function can
be customised by the user if possible.

Thank You

The holidays are configurable as you create a list of the holidays.

Dear Bob, thank you for your valid information, can you be so kind to tell me
how to do it ? and is there a way to configure a six day week instead of five
day week?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
Albert M Bartolo

Hi albertmb,

to exclude holidays of your choosing list all holiday dates, one per
cell, somewhere on your worksheet, e.g. cells Z1:Z10 then use

=NETWORKDAYS(A1,B1,Z1:Z10)

If you want a six day work week (excluding Sundays) see here for some
suggestions

You could also try listing all Saturdays within the holiday range.....
