What is a NETWORKDAYS Function in Excel? A NETWORKDAYS Function “Returns the number of whole workdays between two dates”. Do keep in mind that Saturday and Sunday are excluded in NETWORKDAYS Function. We will be using the Waterfall Web Development Process timeline in our tutorial and calculating the number of workdays. We will need to have the start date, end date and holiday for our web development process calculation. Without further ado, let us start the calculation and get our website up and running.
How to use NETWORKDAYS Function
Select Cell E7, type in the equal, type in NETWORKDAYS, open parentheses. Select start date in Cell C7 and type in a comma. Select your end date in Cell D7 and type in a comma. Next, we will add in the Holiday. Move your cursor to Cell H5. Select and drag your cursor from Cell H5 to H14. We will also make this range into an absolute cell reference by clicking on our F4 Button Lastly, Close parentheses and hit return. You will get 20. The number of workdays for Requirements Analysis.
Now, let us find the number of workdays for the other web development process. Let us use the auto-fill function. Move your cursor to the lower right of Cell E7. Once your cursor turns to a plus sign. Double click on it. You will get the number of workdays for the rest of the web development process.
