NETWORKDAYS Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Calculating the number of working days between two dates
Understanding the NETWORKDAYS Formula
The NETWORKDAYS function in Excel calculates the number of working days between two dates, excluding weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and optionally specified holidays. It's a business day calculator for project planning—like estimating delivery dates or calculating work hours.
NETWORKDAYS("2023-01-01", "2023-01-31") returns 22, counting Monday through Friday in January 2023. It takes start_date, end_date, and optional holidays arguments, providing an accurate count of business days—perfect for realistic project timelines or labor calculations.
Why Use NETWORKDAYS?
NETWORKDAYS calculates business spans—think project timelines or payroll periods. Its weekend and holiday exclusion makes it valuable for business planning, resource allocation, or anywhere accurate work day counts matter.
Example with Sample Data
Date Range, [Holidays] | Formula | Result |
---|---|---|
1/1/2023 to 1/31/2023 | =NETWORKDAYS("1/1/2023", "1/31/2023") | 22 |
1/1/2023 to 1/31/2023, MLK Day | =NETWORKDAYS("1/1/2023", "1/31/2023", {"1/16/2023"}) | 21 |
TODAY() to project deadline | =NETWORKDAYS(TODAY(), "6/30/2023") | [Working days until deadline] |
NETWORKDAYS counts business days: 22 workdays in January 2023, 21 when excluding MLK Day. It's a working day calculator.
