Dear Mr Excel

I have created a Gantt chart in Excel as indicated in ‘tip of the week’ however I have utilised days instead of years as my unit of measure. I have also included an extra column which shows the number of days between the start and end date and an extra row which displays the approprite day.

However I wish to exclude certain days of the week in this calculation i.e. Saturdays and Sundays (Non Working days). Therefore how can this be achieved?

I presume the conditional formating will not help in this situation and the weekday function only provides numbers 1 to 7.

Is there a formula that can do this, failing that will, a macro be required?

Regards

Anthony Quigley
