Working Weeks
I need to calculate the number of working weeks that have accumulated at any
given date. Obviously, TODAY()-the start date / 7 will give an approximate result, but I really want to just count weekdays. So, Weds = 0.6, Thurs = 0.8, Fri = 1.0 but then Sat & Sun don't count. Any ideas? |

Look in HELP for the Networkdays() function.
If the function returns #NAME: ToolsAdd-ins, check Analysis Toolpak -- Kind regards, Niek Otten "Terry Bennett" wrote in message ...

Any ideas? =NETWORKDAYS(start_date,end_date,[holidays]) / 5 See HELP for NETWORKDAYS. If you get a #NAME error, HELP will tell you how to install the Analysis ToolPak. Holidays is an OPTIONAL list of holiday dates. --ron |

Thanks for the suggestion.
My own (modern) laptop has this add-in but as the spreadsheet will be used by a number of people running Excel 95, I wonder whether it will be available? "Ron Rosenfeld" wrote in message ...

NETWORKDAYS was available at least as far back as Excel 4.0 (1992) (in the Analysis Tool Pak, then, too). It's listed in documentation I have from that release. So I'm sure it would have been available in Excel 95. Is it a problem for them to use the Microsoft supplied add-in? If so, there have been formula solutions posted in these NG's that I'm sure can be located with a search. --ron |

Thanks Ros - I think I've solved it in another (less sophisticated!) way.
