Weekend date removal

[claypers]

Hey all!
I have a list of dates where I need to know the cycle time MINUS WEEKEND DAYS. The list below is an example of my list containing how many weekend days there are and what the 'true' cycle time for each item is. This was done manually but is there a function to do this automatically?
'True' cycle time formula is just 'Cycle time' - 'Weekend days'.


Submit Date Incorporation Date Cycle time ( Days ) Weekend days True cycle time
10/11/2003 07/01/2004 57 16 41
10/11/2003 07/01/2004 57 16 41
19/11/2003 06/01/2004 47 14 33
19/11/2003 06/01/2004 47 14 33
25/11/2003 08/01/2004 43 12 31
25/11/2003 08/01/2004 43 12 31
03/12/2003 09/01/2004 36 10 26
03/12/2003 09/01/2004 36 10 26
05/12/2003 07/01/2004 32 10 22
05/12/2003 07/01/2004 32 10 22
05/12/2003 06/01/2004 31 10 21

Welcome to the board!

Try the NETWORKDAYS function (which requires the analysis toolpack to be enabled)

Hi,
Probably an easier way but one quick way I can think of...

Say dates are in column A

Insert a column....type in formula...eg =TEXT(B2,"dddd")

This will give you Mon,Tues,Sat Sun etc...

Either sort and delete weekends or use a lookup for results

Hope this helps
