NETWORKDAYS.INTL function

PRO BASIC

In Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro, the NETWORKDAYS.INTL function counts the total number of workdays between two specified dates, allowing you to define weekend days and exclude specific holidays. This function is handy in calculating work durations or project timelines. You can customize which days of the week are considered weekends, and you can also provide a list of dates that should be excluded from the count as holidays. This function ensures a more accurate calculation of working days, taking into consideration non-standard weekends and specific days off.

Documentation

Returns the number of whole workdays between start_date and end_date using parameters to indicate which and how many days are weekend days, and a given set of holidays.

Syntax

NETWORKDAYS.INTL(start_date, end_date, [weekend], [holidays])

Parameter	Description
`start_date`	The start date of the period.
`end_date`	The end date of the period.
`[weekend]`	Optional. An argument that indicates which days of the week are weekend days. Use a seven-character string with a 1 or 0 in each position representing Monday through Sunday, respectively. A 1 indicates a non-workday and 0 indicates a workday.
`[holidays]`	Optional. A range of one or more dates to exclude from the working calendar, such as state and federal holidays and floating holidays.

Behavior

The NETWORKDAYS.INTL function calculates the number of whole working days between two provided dates. This function allows customization of which days of the week are considered weekends (non-working days).

If a cell is empty, the function will return an error.
Boolean values are treated as numbers. Therefore, TRUE is regarded as 1 and FALSE as 0
It ignores time values in the date cells and considers only the date part of the cell.
Any errors within the referenced cells will cause the NETWORKDAYS.INTL function to return an error.
If the start date is greater than the end date, the function will return a negative value.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#NUM!	Occurs if the start date is greater than the end date, or if the weekend parameter is less than 1 or greater than 7 and is not a string of seven 0s or 1s
#VALUE!	Occurs if any of the supplied arguments are invalid, such as text values that cannot be parsed as dates, or logical values.

Best practices

Always ensure the start date is less than or equal to the end date to avoid a negative result or an error.

Be clear about which days are considered non-working days in your context. The NETWORKDAYS.INTL function allows customization of weekends, which can be particularly useful in cultures where the weekend days are not Saturday and Sunday.

Use cell references as function arguments instead of direct inputs. This makes your spreadsheet dynamic and easily editable.

It's a good practice to handle possible errors using error handling functions like IFERROR or ISERROR to avoid disruption in subsequent calculations.

Usage

A few examples using the NETWORKDAYS.INTL function.

NETWORKDAYS.INTL("2023-01-01","2023-03-15","0111110")  
→ Returns the number of workdays between Jan 1, 2023 and Mar 15, 2023, treating Saturday and Sunday as weekends.  

NETWORKDAYS.INTL("2023-05-01","2023-05-31","1000001")  
→ Returns the number of workdays in May 2023, treating Sunday and Monday as weekends (useful in regions where weekends differ).  

NETWORKDAYS.INTL(A2,B2,"1111100",["2023-12-25","2023-12-31"])  
→ Returns the number of workdays between the dates in A2 and B2, excluding Friday and Saturday as weekends, plus the holidays Dec 25 and Dec 31, 2023.
