Formula for working days (exclude public holidays)

Hi Team,

I am using a formula (=WORKDAY(F10, 20)) to count 20 working days from 27 Nov 2023, however this is returning 25 Dec 2023.

Please can you advice how I can update this formula to exclude all the public holidays in Dec 2023?

Many Thanks

RE: Formula for working days (exclude public holidays)

Hi Kay,

Thank you for the forum question.

All date functions in Excel calculating working days (Workday, Networkdays, & Networkdays.intl) do not know which days are public holidays. You will unfortunately have to create a holiday list.

If you in a Excel worksheet type the dates for public holidays and let us just say in A1 to A10, then your formula should look like

=WORKDAY(F10, 20, A1:A10)

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Importing Numbers in Excel 2010

Occasionally, when importing data into Excel you find that the some of the imported values are treated as text.

To convert these numbers to actual values, click on an empty cell and press Ctrl+C.

Next, select the range that contains the values you need to change and in the Clipboard Group on the Home tab, click the Paste drop-down arrow and choose Paste Special. In the Paste Special dialog box, select Add and then click OK.
