NETWORKDAYS Function
The NETWORKDAYS Function calculates the number of workdays between two dates. Its syntax is:
We can use the NETWORKDAYS Function along with other functions to calculate the number of workdays left in a month or year.
Workdays Left in Month
The EOMONTH Function returns the last day of a given month. It can be nested in the NETWORKDAYS Function to find the number of workdays left in a month like this:
=NETWORKDAYS(B3,EOMONTH(B3,0))
Note: The NETWORKDAYS Function takes ‘Saturday’ and ‘Sunday’ as weekend. You can use the NETWORKDAYS.INTL Function to customise weekend days.
Workdays Left in Month from Today
If you want to find the number of workdays left in the current month starting with today, you can use the TODAY Function as the input date:
=NETWORKDAYS(TODAY(),EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
Workdays Left in Year
To calculate the number of workdays left in a year, we can use the NETWORKDAYS Function:
=NETWORKDAYS(B3,DATE(YEAR(B3),12,31))
Here we’ve defined the end date as the last day of the year, using the DATE and YEAR Functions.
Workdays left in Year from Today
To calculate the number of workdays left in the current year starting today, use TODAY as the start date:
=NETWORKDAYS(TODAY(),DATE(B3,12,31))
