Network days formula problem

[dani57]

Hi I am new to this forum I hope someone can help.I am trying to monitor
my suppliers delivery performance,but I do not want the formula to include weekends Saturday and Sunday as they do not work.
Anyhow I used the network days formula to give me the days count 14/11/11 to 21/11/11 and its given me 6 days as the result I was expecting 5,as I want to exclude Saturday and Sundays,I understand why it's coming back with 6 ,but I was wondering if there's a formula that gives me the result of Monday to Friday,so it gives me 5 days and excludes the Saturday and Sunday.

Welcome to the board!

6 is what the formula should return. Including both start and end date.

Perhaps always deduct 1 would give you the result you want?

I suppose that's the only way can the -1 be included in the network days formula ?
