Hi,

I'd like to know if there's a way to make Excel subtract
weekend days when
calculating actual workdays.

For example, I have cells for the start date and end date
of a sales
forecast. Let's say it's for three weeks (21 days). Now,
what I'd like to do
is subtract the weekend days (there are 6 in this period)
to get the "15".

Now, if I was only doing a forecast for three weeks at a
time, I could just
have Excel subtract the 6 weekend days with a simple
subtraction formula.
However, we want this report to scale to any time period
and subtract any
weekend days that occur in that period.

Make sense? Is there a way to do this? I have Excel 97 if
that means anything.
