FAQ

What should I do if NETWORKDAYS.INTL returns #VALUE!?

  1. Check whether the start date and end date are valid date values.
  2. Check whether the weekend argument uses a valid number, or a seven-character string that contains only 0 and 1.
  3. Check whether separators, parentheses, and referenced ranges are entered correctly.

Why is the result different from what I expected?

  1. Confirm that the holiday range you want to exclude has been added to the holidays argument.
  2. Check whether the weekend rule matches your business scenario, such as Saturday and Sunday, Friday and Saturday, or a single-day weekend.
  3. Review whether the start date is later than the end date, because that can produce a negative result.

How do I use NETWORKDAYS.INTL in multiple cells?

  1. Enter a correct NETWORKDAYS.INTL formula in the first target cell.
  2. Move the pointer to the fill handle at the lower-right corner of the cell.
