Returns the number of working days between two dates. Adds 1 day to the result if the start date is a non-working day.
Syntax
NETWORKDAY(start_date, end_date, [holidays])
- start_date—The first date to be measured.
- end_date—The last date to be measured.
- holidays—[optional]The dates to exclude from the count.
Sample usage
NETWORKDAY([Due Date]4, [Due Date]5)
Usage notes
- WORKDAY, NETWORKDAY, and NETWORKDAYS count Saturday and Sunday as non-working days. If you enable dependencies on your sheet, you can customize the non-working days. After you do this, the formulas use your settings in calculations.
- You can designate additional dates as non-working to exclude them when calculating the number of working days. To do this, enter each holiday/non-working day into a cell. Then reference the range of cells in your NETWORKDAY formula.
Examples
This example references the following sheet information:
| Clothing Item | Order Date | Ship Date | Percent Complete | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | T-Shirt | 02/12/19 | 02/15/19 | 100% |
| 2 | Pants | 02/15/19 | 03/20/19 | 50% |
| 3 | Jacket | 02/23/19 | 02/27/19 | 75% |
Given the table above, here are some examples of using NETWORKDAY in a sheet:
| Formula | Description | Result |
|---|---|---|
| =NETWORKDAY([Order Date]2, [Ship Date]2) | Returns the number of workdays between the date in row 2 of the Order Date column and the date in row 2 of the Ship Date column | 24 |
| =IF([Clothing Item]3 = "Jacket", NETWORKDAY([Order Date]3, [Ship Date]3)) | If the value in row 2 of the Clothing Item column is Jacket, the function returns the number of workdays between the date in row 3 of the Order Date column and the date in row 3 of the Ship Date column. Otherwise, the function returns no value. | 4 |
| =IF([Percent Complete]1 = 1, NETWORKDAY([Order Date]1, [Ship Date]1), "Order Not Yet Fulfilled") | If the value in row 1 of the Percent Complete column is 100%, the function returns the number of workdays between the date in row 1 of the Order Date column and the date in row 1 of the Ship Date column. Otherwise, the function returns Order Not Yet Fulfilled. | 4 |
