I would like to calculate the days based on three conditions. Here is the
example of my work sheet:
A B C D
E F
1 Start date finish date Jan Feb Mar
April
2 Jan 03, 2009 Jan 27, 2009
3 Feb 24, 2009
4 Feb 25, 2009 Mar 12, 2009
I want see the days caclulated by month for any task started. If task goes
to next month, days should go to next month column and I want to calculate
the weekdays only. As above row 3 date in column A is start date of task and
task is not complete and we are in April. I want to see the days in for Feb
in D3 and days in Mar in E3. Once I show task complete, calculation should
end in April in F3.

I hope this is clear explanation. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

For this to work jan, Feb etc in row 1 must be properly formatted so enter
1/1/2009 on C1 and format as mmm to show Jan and repeat for other months

Now put this formula in C2

=SUMPRODUCT((ROW(INDIRECT($A2&":"&$B2))=C$1)*(ROW (INDIRECT($A2&":"&$B2))<DATE(YEAR(C$1),MONTH(C$1)+ 1,1)))

Drag down as required and then drag right as required. If one of the dates
is missing you'll get a #REF! error and if this is not acceptable wrap the
entire formula in an iserror statement

If you are expecitng the below results...try the below formula which uses
WEEKDAY()

Start date finish date 1/1/2009 2/1/2009 3/1/2009
3-Jan-09 27-Jan-09 17 0 0
24-Feb-09 0 4 22
25-Feb-09 12-Mar-09 0 3 9


=MAX(0,SUM(INT((WEEKDAY(MAX(C$1,$A2)-{1,2,3,4,5},2)+MIN(IF($B2="",TODAY(),$B2),DATE(YEA R(C$1),MONTH(C$1)+1,0))-MAX(C$1,$A2))/7)))
