Howdy,

I am trying to track how much of each months departmental holiday budget has been used.

However, I am struggling to get NETWORKDAYS to calculate the individual months in the header when someone has requested holiday spanning more than one month, like March to April. Kindly see example below- formula works fine but only for counting the total days, not working days.

Any help would be appreciated, significantly.

i think that the error is a formatting one
since the example is using European dates

for the first three rows since we have nonstandard dates they must be converted

the correct syntax for networkdays is

start date, end date, holiday dates (this can be a range or a variable)

E2:E4E2=IF($A2="","",IF($B2="","",NETWORKDAYS(K2,L2)))


please note that i have the side work in columns ("k" though "o") that are not used (this can be moved anywhere on the row, even whited out so not be visable)
then the netowrk days is calculated for the entire period

if this is not what you are looking for please let me know

also, since you are using formulas that is what i presented to you.

so here is a breakdown of the formulas and what they are doing

the if a2 and b2 checks are error checks to only process data IF data is present (if nothing is there, there is no output)
IF($A2="","" & IF($B2="",""

then we check for a valid date
IF(ISNUMBER(A2)

if there is no valid date, the formula then converts a NON date into a date number
DATE(RIGHT(B2,4),MID(B2,4,2),LEFT(B2,2))

and finally, converts the date value into a valid date and then provides you with the number of work days
TEXT(N3,"mm/dd/yyyy")

and
NETWORKDAYS(K2,L2)

hope that helps

You did not specify the relevant Holidays. You can edit the formulas to refer to your list of holidays dates.

Solution
since the holidays were not listed in the OP#1. they were not included in the formulas. but you are correct.
I also said in my example that the holidays can be added using a range or a variable, which is an easy addition.

simply defining the standard holidays into a set range
list of US federal holidays can easily be incorporated and/or edited

EXPLAINED
simply adding the US federal holidays as a specific range solves this issue
so with this example, the formula uses a dynamic range to look for any holidays listed
the dynamic range is defined to look up a specific range that changes based on the volume of dates listed in the AE column

UK or any other holidays needed, can simply be added to the list and the range will auto update

NOTES:
networkdays will automatically include the holiday range as NON worked days

as before, you can move or hide the calculations ranges k2 through o10

Hi Dave


This is exactly what I need but when I try to recreate it, I do not get the same results as you and I am unsure why. Hopefully it's something obvious I've missed?
