All language subtitles for 5. Using the NETWORKDAYS and NETWORKDAYS.INT Function

In the previous lesson, we saw how we could return a finish state using the work days and work day

into national functions when we have a start date and the number of work days.

Now in this lesson, we're basically going to do something very similar using two different functions.

Network days and network days international.

Now this is very similar, except we start with a start date and also an end date.

And these formulas work out the number of days it's going to take to complete the task.

So in the table underneath again, we have some task names just here.

We have the start date for that task, the end date for that task.

And I want to know how many days it's going to take to complete this task for how many days between

these two dates effectively.

And again, these two formulas will exclude the weekends and any holidays if you specify them.

So let's start out with network days.

These are very straightforward formulas.

There it is.

We have three arguments again.

This time we have the start date, which is be 18 comma.

We need an end date, which we have in C 18.

And again, we have that optional argument on the end to include holidays.

Now I'm going to select all of these here and something I didn't actually do in the last lesson when

I did.

This is I really need to lock these cell references in place because I am going to drag this formula

down and I don't want this range moving.

So I did forget to do that last time.

So if you spotted that well done, let's press the full key to lock those in place, close the bracket

and enter.

Now, notice I have something weird in here.

If I double click to copy down.

I have some dates in here in 9300, which is odd.

Now why am I getting that?

Well, if we take a look up at the home tab, it's because I accidentally applied date formatting to

these cells.

So all I need to do is switch this back to general and then I get the actual numbers and network days

international is pretty much the same.

But again, this accounts for people in other locations.

So let's select this again.

We need a start date comma, we need an end date and then we can specify our weekend days.

So again, if you're in a different location where your weekend days are not Saturday and Sunday, you

can just choose those from this list.

And then if you want to, you can add in your holiday days for let's remember to lock close the bracket,

enter and then I can copy those down.

So again, two super simple but really useful functions that everybody needs to know.
