Hi and welcome.

Use the NETWORKDAYS function to calculate the number of whole working days between start_date and end_date. Working days exclude weekends and any identified holidays.

Example:
<br /><table cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";background-color: #FFFFFF;border: 1px solid;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><colgroup><col width="25px" style="background-color: #E0E0F0" /><col /><col /><col /><col /></colgroup><thead><tr style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;text-align: center;color: #161120"><th></th><th>A</th><th>B</th><th>C</th><th>D</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">1</td><td style="font-weight: bold;text-align: center;;">Start Date</td><td style="font-weight: bold;text-align: center;;">End Date</td><td style="font-weight: bold;text-align: center;;">Workdays Remaining</td><td style="font-weight: bold;text-align: center;;">Holidays</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">2</td><td style="text-align: center;;">June 1, 2011</td><td style="text-align: center;;">August 1, 2011</td><td style="text-align: center;;">20</td><td style="text-align: center;;">July 4, 2011</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">3</td><td style="text-align: right;;"></td><td style="text-align: right;;"></td><td style="text-align: right;;"></td><td style="text-align: center;;">July 5, 2011</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><table cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";border: 2px solid black;border-collapse:collapse;padding: 0.4em;background-color: #FFFFFF" ><tr><td style="padding:6px" ><b>Worksheet Formulas</b><table cellpadding="2.5px" width="100%" rules="all" style="border: 1px solid;text-align:center;background-color: #FFFFFF;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><thead><tr style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120"><th width="10px">Cell</th><th style="text-align:left;padding-left:5px;">Formula</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><th width="10px" style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120">C2</th><td style="text-align:left">=IF(<font color="Blue">AND(<font color="Red">A2<=TODAY(<font color="Green"></font>),B2>=TODAY(<font color="Green"></font>)</font>),NETWORKDAYS(<font color="Red">TODAY(<font color="Green"></font>),B2,D2:D3</font>),""</font>)</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table><br />

If your business days are Monday thru Friday...

A2 = end date

=NETWORKDAYS(NOW(),A2,J1:J10)

J1:J10 is a list of holiday dates that are to be excluded from the calculation. If you don't need/want to exclude any holiday dates then just leave out that argument.

=NETWORKDAYS(NOW(),A2)

Note that the NETWORKDAYS function requires the Analysis ToolPak
add-in be installed if you're using a version of Excel prior to
Excel 2007. If you enter the formula and get a #NAME?
error look in Excel help for the NETWORKDAYS function. It'll tell you
how to fix the problem.
