WORKDAY Function in Excel

Question

What is the WORKDAY function in Excel?

Answer

The WORKDAY function can be used to calculate the end date or start date of a project for a given number of business days. The number of business days cannot include weekend days. Specific holidays can also be omitted.  
The syntax for the WORKDAY function is: = WORKDAY ( Start_date, Days, Holidays )

  • Start_date - the start date of the project or time period in question.
  • Days - the number of days work on the project occurred after the Start_date.
  • Holidays - can be used to exclude one or more dates from the total number of working days (optional).
