Date / Formula Help

[Joneye]

Is there an easier way of doing this? Column D17 is my result and feeds of the data in column A with Column B showing how many trading days left in a financial year.

Im looking for one formula to complete this if possible?

=NETWORKDAYS(VLOOKUP(D1,A:A,1,0),$A$25)
this should do the trick I think =)

Many thanks, im kinda looking to not use the table and have one formula that uses today() and then my end date.

Try

=NETWORKDAYS(TODAY(),DATE(2011,3,28))

If you want it to be dynamic so that after 28th March it starts counting down to 28th March 2012 then change to

=NETWORKDAYS(TODAY(),DATE(YEAR(TODAY()+278),3,28))

on 29th March that'll return 262
