how to count weeks from date "X" then calculate
 

I want to create a field(s) in Excel 2003 that will allow me

to enter a hard (non-changing date) and have it calculate how many weeks
have eclipsed since that time and then multiply to 40 hrs per week to give a
total of work hours that have passed since the date

The Date desired to use is July 1st, 2005 and counting.....

TIA,

Hi!

Try this:

A1 = 7/1/2005

=(TODAY()-A1)/7*40

With your date in A1, something like

=(TODAY()-A1)/7*40

Or if you want to count only workdays at 8 hrs/day, you could use the
NETWORKDAYS function.

=NETWORKDAYS(A1, TODAY(), holidays) * 8

See HELP for this function. It requires installation of the Analysis Tool Pak
and HELP will tell you how to do that.

With July 1, 2005 in A1,
Try this in a cell formatted to General or Number:

=DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"d")/7*40

The base formula returns days, so dividing by 7 will yield full and partial
weeks.

If you want to only work with full weeks, adjust it to this:

=INT(DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"d")/7)*40

Doun't you have any state holdays there at all ?

P.e. I myself have additionally to think about 4 pre-holidays - there are 4
state holidays, for which when preceeding day is workday, it is 5 hours long
instead of 8 hours.

how to count weeks from date "X" then calculate
 

I used the DATEDIF formula below and it works fine. Is there a way I can
limit it's return.
Example: It will only calculate the number of hours until a certain date
(i.e from 7/1/05 thru 6/29/06)

??

Hi

=DATEDIF(A1,B1,"d")/7*40
(with end date in B1). Or
=DATEDIF(A1,DATE(2006,6,29),"d")/7*40
(with fixed end date)
