Yes it is, however it is done to select the different weekdays you want to
count,

WEEKDAY(A1-1)

would count Sundays, subtract 2 for Mondays and so on and from a pedagogical
standpoint and even practical standpoint it doesn't make any sense to remove
it for Saturdays or change other parts of the formula. At least there is a
pattern doing it this way.

Peo,

=SUM(INT((WEEKDAY(A1-7)+B1-A1)/7))

Isn't WEEKDAY(A1-7) the same as WEEKDAY(A1)?

Start date in A1, end date in B1


=SUM(INT((B1-WEEKDAY(A1+1-{2;3;4;5;6;7})-A1+8)/ 7))

will return a count of all days except Sundays

if you just want to count Saturdays


=SUM(INT((WEEKDAY(A1-7)+B1-A1)/7))

As a Human Resources Manager, I need to calculate how many working
days leave each employee takes.
As some staff work a 5-day week I have used the formula,
=NETWORKDAYS(A1,B1,O1:O15) where A1 is the first day of leave and B1
is the last day of leave. O1 to O15 list public holidays which the
formula then deducts.

However I want to add a column for staff who work a six-day week with
a formula which will count the number of Saturdays in this same period
( adding the two results will give me how many working days 6-day-a-
week employees take)

Can any one please help?
