In this tutorial, you will find lots of formula examples demonstrating the use of WEEKDAY, DAY and DAYS functions in Excel. See how to return a day of week from date, get the number of days in the year, find how many days are between two dates and more.
There are a variety of functions to work with days of year and days of the week in Excel, including WEEKDAY, DAY, DAYS, DATE and more. These functions can be used to determine workdays and weekends, calculate the number of days between two dates, count the number of days remaining in the year, return day of the week from date, and much more.
Weekday Excel functions are particularly useful for planning and scheduling, for example to determine the timeframe of a project and automatically remove weekend days from the total. So, let's run through the functions one-at-a-time and see how they can help you cope with various tasks in Excel.
Working with days of week (Excel WEEKDAY function)
Microsoft Excel provides a special WEEKDAY function to return the day of the week corresponding to a given date.
The result returned by an Excel WEEKDAY formula is an integer, ranging from 1 (Sunday) to 7 (Saturday) by default. If your formula's logic requires a different enumeration, you can start counting with any day of week, as you will see in a moment.
The syntax of the Excel WEEKDAY function is as follows:
- Serial_number - a serial number that represents the date, or a reference to a cell with a date or serial number.
If the term "serial number" does not make much sense to you, let me remind you that Excel stores all dates as serial numbers beginning with January 1, 1900, which is stored as number 1. And it is these numbers that the WEEKDAY function operates on. If you want to learn more about how Excel stores dates and times, you may find the following article useful: Excel date format.
- Return_type (optional) - determines what day of the week to use as the first day in calculations.
In your Excel WEEKDAY formulas, you can specify any of the following values for the return_type argument:
| Return_type | Number returned |
| 1 or omitted | From 1 (Sunday) to 7 (Saturday) |
| 2 | From 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday) |
| 3 | From 0 (Monday) to 6 (Sunday) |
| 11 | From 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday) |
| 12 | From 1 (Tuesday) to 7 (Monday) |
| 13 | From 1 (Wednesday) to 7 (Tuesday) |
| 14 | From 1 (Thursday) to 7 (Wednesday) |
| 15 | From 1 (Friday) to 7 (Thursday) |
| 16 | From 1 (Saturday) to 7 (Friday) |
| 17 | From 1 (Sunday) to 7 (Saturday) |
And now, let's look at some examples of using the WEEKDAY function in Excel. All of the below formulas return the day of the week corresponding to March 19, 2015. For the sake of clarity, this date is stored as number 42082 in Excel.
At first sight, it may seems that the numbers returned by the Excel WEEKDAY function have very little practical sense. But let's look at it from a different angle and discuss some formulas that solve real-life tasks.
Example 1. Excel WEEKDAY formula to find workdays and weekends
If you have a long date column in your worksheet, you may want to know which dates are working days and which are weekends.
An easiest way is to have a day name displayed in a cell, for example as "Friday, March 20, 2015" or just "Friday". And you can do this in no time by simply changing the date format. However, this is not always an ideal approach, firstly, because a short date format is often required, and secondly, because you may need to filter only weekends or only workdays in your Excel list.
One of possible solutions is embedding the WEEKDAY function into the logical test of the IF function:
=IF(WEEKDAY(A2,2)<6, "Workday", "Weekend")
In this Weekday formula, we set the return_type argument to 2, which corresponds to the week beginning with Monday (day 1). So, if the day of the week in cell A2 is less than 6 (Monday through Friday), the formula returns "Workday", otherwise - "Weekend".
To filter weekdays or weekend days, you apply Excel's filter to your table (Data tab > Filter) and select either "Workday" or "Weekend".
If your organization, or maybe some regional office of your company, works on a different schedule where the days of rest are other than Saturday and Sunday, you can easily adjust this WEEKDAY formula to your needs by specifying a different return_type .
For example, to treat Saturday and Monday as weekends, you set return_type to 12, since you want the "Tuesday (1) to Monday (7)" week type:
=If(WEEKDAY(A2, 12)<6, "Weekday", "Weekend")
Example 2. How to highlight workdays and weekends in Excel
The Excel WEEKDAY formula discussed in the previous example has no problem with finding working days and weekends, no matter which days of the week are days off. However, you can improve the visual presentation of the results by shading workings days and weekend days in different colors.
For this, you can create Excel conditional formatting rules with the following WEEKDAY formulas to highlight weekends or workdays, or both:
Highlight weekends (Saturday and Sunday): =WEEKDAY($A2,2)<6
Highlight workdays (Monday - Friday): =WEEKDAY($A2,2)>5
The results look much better now, don't they?
Example 3. How to get a day of the week from date in Excel
If you have a list of dates in Excel and you aim to find a day of week for each date, you do not actually need any special formulas :) The point is that Excel already knows what day of week a given date is and all you need to do is get it to display that information.
For example, if your dates are in column A, you can put a simple =A2 formula in cell B2 and then copy it down to other cells. After that, you select the entire column B and set the custom date format to it, such as:
- ddd - to display an abbreviated day name, e.g. Sun.
- dddd - to display full day names, e.g. Sunday.
Please note that the results, which may look like usual text entries to you, are in fact fully functional Excel dates that you can use in other calculations. You can tell these are dates by their right alignment in a cell as opposed to left-aligned text values.
Example 4. Return day of week as a text value
An alternative way to determine a day of the week by date is using the Excel TEXT function. In your TEXT formulas, you can specify the same formats as in the above example - "ddd" to return a short name and "dddd" to return full names of the days of the week:
=TEXT(A1, "ddd")
=TEXT(A1,"dddd")
Where A1 is a cell with the original date.
When using this method, please remember that the TEXT function in Excel always returns text strings regardless of the source cell's format. So, the day of week names you see in the above screenshot are text entries, and not dates. And this is what makes them different from the results of the previous example, which are still fully functional Excel dates.
Example 5. How to return a custom day name in Excel
Yet another way to find the day of the week from date in Excel is using the WEEKDAY function in liaison with CHOOSE. An advantage of this formula is that it lets you return the day names in any format of your choosing.
For example, if you want to display days of week as the first 2 letters, enter them as value arguments in the CHOOSE function:
=CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(A2),"Su","Mo","Tu","We","Th","Fr","Sa")
In this formula, the Excel WEEKDAY function gets the day of week as a serial number. And the CHOOSE function uses that number as index_num (the 1st argument) that indicates which value from the list of value arguments to return.
How to get the day of month from date (DAY function)
Microsoft Excel provides a special DAY function to retrieve the day of the month from a date:
The day is returned as a serial number ranging from 1 to 31. For example, in you have a list of dates in column A and you want to extract the days into column B, you put the following formula in cell B2 and then copy it down to other cells:
=DAY(A2)
An alternative way to extract a day of the month from a date is using the TEXT function, for example:
=TEXT(A2, "d") - to display day numbers without leading zeros, or
=TEXT(A2, "dd") - to display day numbers with leading zeros.
How to calculate the number of days between two dates (DAYS function)
The syntax of the Excel DAYS function is so obvious that you will hardly need any explanations :)
Supposing that the Start Date of your projects is in column A and the End Date in column B, you can calculate the projects' duration (i.e. the number of days between two dates) using the following formula:
=DAYS(B2,A2)
This formula will work with normal dates as well as dates formatted as text. If either the start date or end date is a text value, Excel will try to convert it to date (you would use the DATEVALUE function for this). If Excel is unable to parse your text sting as a valid date, the DAYS formula will return the #VALUE! error.
Working with days of the year in Excel
When working with days of year in Excel, you have a few functions at your disposal. Which one to choose depends on your data format and exactly what result you are after :)
Example 1. Get the day number of the year (1-365)
This example demonstrates how you can get the number of a certain day in a year, between 1 and 365 (1-366 in leap years) with January 1 considered day 1.
For this, you use a combination of the Excel DATE and YEAR functions:
=A2-DATE(YEAR(A2),1,0)
Where A2 is a cell containing the date.
And now, let's see what the formula actually does. The YEAR function retrieves the year of the date in cell A2, and passes it to the DATE(year, month, day) function, which returns the sequential number that represents a certain date.
So, in our formula, year is extracted from the original date (A2), month is 1 (January) and day is 0. In fact, a zero day forces Excel to return December 31 of the previous year, because we want January 1 to be treated as the 1st day. And then, you subtract the serial number returned by the DATE formula from the original date (which is also stored as a serial number in Excel) and the difference is the day of the year you are looking for. For example, January 5, 2015 is stored as 42009 and December 31, 2014 is 42004, so 42009 - 42004 = 5.
If the concept of day 0 does not seem right to you, you can use the following formula instead:
=A2-DATE(YEAR(A2),1,1)+1
Example 2. Calculate the number of days remaining in the year
To compute the number of days remaining in the year, we are going to use the DATE and YEAR functions again. The formula is based on the same approach as Example 3 above, so you are unlikely to have any difficulties with understanding its logic:
=DATE(YEAR(A2),12,31)-A2
If you want to know how many days remain till the end of the year based on the current date, you use the Excel TODAY() function, as follows:
=DATE(2015,12,31)-TODAY()
Where 2015 is the current year.
This is how you work with days of week and days of year in Excel. In the next article, we will explore Excel functions to operate on bigger time units such as weeks, months and years. Please stay tuned and thank you for reading!
what if I want to calculate the number of days between two dates but only for weekdays (exclude weekend)? thanks.
Hi Saehu,
I have just published a new article that covers exactly this task. It explains how to count weekdays excluding weekends and, optionally, holidays:
https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2015/05/20/excel-workday-networkdays-functions/
I need to set up a chart with backdating from an event date. Some of those days have to be on a Tuesday. Is it possible to set a formula so that the dates returned are always on a Tuesday, regardless of the day of the week of the original event date? Or, do I have to set each event individually, rather than cut and paste?
Dependent on how your data is.
Conditional format; =weekday(date(year,month,day))=3
Anything in *s mean link it to relevant cell. I have numbers 1-31 in row 1 for example and months (Jan-15 format) then from B2 till the end of my table I have the conditional format on. The calendar is colour co-ordinated. The date formula only likes numbers, if you are going to link to the "Jan-15" then that part of the formula has to be; date(year(*cell*),month(*cell*),*day*)
Sunday is day 1, therefore Tuesday day 3
=IF(A2=WEEKDAY("Monday"),"Meade","Sanchez") Would you tell me how to fix this formula? I want the cell to say "Meade" for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and "Sanchez" for the ether days. Thank you.
Hi!
You can use the following formula:
=IF(OR(WEEKDAY(A13)=2, WEEKDAY(A13)=4, WEEKDAY(A13)=7), "Meade","Sanchez")
If you are curious to learn more about the WEEKDAY function, please check out the following tutorial:
https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2015/04/16/excel-weekday-day-functions/
Is it possible to only do certain dates and days of the week, say every Monday, Wednesday, Friday for a certain time frame? Thank you.
Hi Luvly,
It depends on exactly what you mean by "do certain dates". Can you clarify please?
Hi,
Great article, thank you. Not sure if I missed it - I need to count working dates between 2 dates and then working dates relating to the previous month. I can do it long way of cause, but maybe there is an easier way?
example:
25/07/15-28/08/15 -25 work days - 4 relates to July
Hi Namesake :)
You can use the NETWORKDAYS function, e.g. =NETWORKDAYS(A2,B2) where A2 is the start date and B2 is the end date.
WE NEED TO MAKE A SCHEDULE IN THAT 2 PEOPLE WILL WORK EACH WEEKEND (TWO PEOPLE ON SATURDAY AND ONE PERSON ON SUNDAY ) THERE ARE 8 PEOPLE TOTAL TO WORK - HOW WOULD WE GENERATE A RANDOM ROTATION FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. IF IT IS NOT RANDOM THE SAME PEOPLE WILL WORK ALL HOLIDAY WEEKENDS
THANK YOU
Hi, I want the spreadsheet to calculate as of the start of the working week (Monday) each time I open it. I use the now function which gives an indication but my data would be more accurate if dated as of the start of week. Can you suggest formula for this please?
Hi
I want to calculate moving weekly average from the data column. The start date should Sunday ending on Saturday. So the average # should be same for that week and the same for the next week and so on. This is monitor weekly permit limit for a process plant data. I don't need rolling weekly average but moving fixed week average. Thanks.
Hi!
Thank you for the article! In a range of dates I need to know how many days there are in one month and how many days in the following month!
Example:
30/05/2015-13/06/2015 : 2 days in May and 12 days in June.
Is it possible? Thank you ;)
Hi Svetlana
It would be a great help if you can tell me the syntax to use a date both as holidays and weekdays (As per situations).
For example: 1-April-2016 is a Holiday, but if task is done on 1-April-2016 (start date) then the date should be included else excluded.
Waiting for positive reply :)
I want to give employee reviews on the 90th day. If the 90th day falls on a SAT or SUN I want to give the review on the previous FRI instead. How do I use =IF(WEEKDAY function to give the date and not just the text FRI?
For instance, the review date falls on 11/21/2015 a SAT (in Cell B5) but want to give revised review date of 11/20/2015 a FRI (in Cell C5) instead. Or if review falls on 11/22/2015 a SUN (in Cell B5) but want to give revised review date of 11/20/2015 a FRI.
I know I have to subtract 1 (SAT) or 2 (SUN) but when I put -1 or -2 it doesn't work. Please I have tried many different ways to no avail.
Thank you
What if I would like to see the text WE + the month and date (in numeric) to my cell? Like WE 11/02.
Truly appreciate your help.
Hi
I want to convert weekday name Mon, Tue, Wed to be converted to no of weekdaylike 1 for sunday, 2 for monday. Can you help me out
Hi Surjeet,
If you have a date displayed as the weekday name, you can use a usual WEEKDAY function like =WEEKDAY(A1)
If those are the text values, you can use the following nested IF's:
=IF(A1="Sun", 1, IF(A1="Mon", 2, IF(A1="Tue", 3, IF(A1="Wed", 4, IF(A1="Thu", 5, IF(A1="Fri", 6, IF(A1="Sat", 7, "")))))))
i want to insert starting day and end day and date in excel as follwos

Hello Shiv,
To enter the date in the format 15.10.2015, select the cells, press Ctl+1, switch to Custom and type the following format in the "Type" box:
dd.mm.yyyy
If I have a Saturday date (12/5/2015) how do I figure out how to get a the Saturday date for 2016?
Svetlana - I need your expertise as I am truly struggling to find the formula for “next week 1st working day”. Currently I am using this formula =IF(A1="","",A1-WEEKDAY(A1)+2+IF(WEEKDAY(A1)>=2,7)) and it works great where every result returned on Monday.
However, the return date or that Monday is our Public Holidays so it is not going to be our 1st working day of the week. Is there a formula to include Public Holiday? I already have Public Holidays table set up.
Hello, Aziruzam,
The following formula should work for your task:
=WORKDAY.INTL(IF(A1="","",A1-WEEKDAY(A1)+1+IF(WEEKDAY(A1)>=2,7)),1,1,$B$1:$B$3)
Please note that range $B$1:$B$3 should contain Public Holidays.
Very Very Thanks
Svetlana,
Thanks for your tutorial, I want to do finding next the four firday, but without public hoildaym, ie. tomorrow is chrismax hoilday and 7 days later is 1 Jan, so the next four firday would be 8/1, 15/1, 22/1 and 29/1.
How can i do it in execl? thanks a lot
Hello, Jesse,
Please enter the formulas below to 4 different cells:
=WORKDAY.INTL(A1,1,"1111011",$B$1:$B$3)
=WORKDAY.INTL(A1,2,"1111011",$B$1:$B$3)
=WORKDAY.INTL(A1,3,"1111011",$B$1:$B$3)
=WORKDAY.INTL(A1,4,"1111011",$B$1:$B$3)
So you'll find the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Friday. Please note that range $B$1:$B$3 should contain Public holidays.
I have a timesheet for our employee, weekends are highlighted so are US holidays based on countif formula, my dilemma is if a holiday falls on a Saturday I'd like the conditional formatting to highlight a day before instead and if the holiday falls on a Sunday, I'd like cf to highlight it on the time-sheet a day after, Monday. Please help, thanks,
Hi experts, I'm looking for divine intervention!
I need to be able to enter a date that will count back 14 days and show the Monday ahead e.g. enter 18 February 2016 and get a return of 8 February 2016, however at the same time if I enter a date that is a Monday it will show the previous Monday only e.g. enter 15 February and get 8 February.
I tried using this formula but anytime i enter a date that falls on a Sunday it skips forward to the upcoming Monday...!!??!
=IF(WEEKDAY(D4)<2,D4+2-WEEKDAY(D4),D4+2-7-WEEKDAY(D4))
Make sense? Thanks everyone
I have scenario such as if in a column contain date weekend or holiday we should get the previous working day.for example Date:04/30/2016 is a Saturday,so I should get the Friday's date (04/29/2016)if this results is a holiday then we should get Thursday's date( 04/28/2016).
Please help me on this!

I am trying to create a dynamically updated calendar based on a given date propagating to a 6 months individual calendar grids. I am trying to find out how to auto insert the correct first day of the month under the correct day. Example my project starts Feb 20 so the first calendar grid would show February 1st as the Monday so the second cell from the left of the calendar since my week starts on Sunday.
IF DUE DAY IS SUNDAY. HOW CAN I FIND -1 DAY SATURDAY.
I am creating a protected 60-day calendar. Cell E2 is unlocked for a date input. The calendar week starts on Monday, going through Sunday (A7-G7). The calendar grid is A8-G8 all the way down to A17-G17. I want to be able to input a date in E2, (ie:5/10/16) and for excel to know that 5/10/16 is a Tuesday, so it automatically inserts 5/10 in the cell B8. I can then formulate for the autofil of the rest of the dates all the way through the end of the 60 days.
I just cant remember how I set this up before, where excel knew which day (monday-sunday) to start the calendar by entering a date in E2...

Hello,
Thanks for the informative article. I was intereted to know how to get the list of dates of a year in each month but only till the end of each month. Eg. 1,2,3...29,30,1,2,3,...27,28,1,2,3,...29,30,31,1,2,3...
Thanks
For my previous question, I got this syntax: =F2-DATE(YEAR(F2);1;0; however, it only extracts all the date numbers in a year. i.e. 1,2,3,...364,365,1,2,3,...365,366,1,2,3,.... what I wanted was for a sytax that would extract the list for each days of a year recurring every month.
Thanks for your support

Earlier you acknowledged:
"Note. Though the WEEKDAY function is available in all Excel versions, from Excel 2013 to 2000, the return_type values 11 through 17 were introduced in Excel 2010 only, therefore they cannot be used in earlier versions."
So what are the differences between the single digit and two digit Return_types? For example, 2 appears to do the same thing as 11.
Hi Dave,
Absolutely so, 2 does the same thing as 11. The difference is that 11 can be used only in Excel 2010 and higher versions, while 2 works in all versions of Excel 2000 to 2016.
We have set meeting dates throughout the year (weekdays only), notice must be given 10 days before and then 3 days before. The notice needs to be given on a weekday. I am very new to formulas and find this a little over my head. Are you able to give me a formula or a step by step?
Hello, AJ,
would you please specify what notice you want to see? Do you want a specifically coloured cell or something else? How is your data stored, what columns do you have? Please, give us more details on your task so we could help you better.

I need to set up a table with backdating from an event date. And in that if any of those dates are Sat/Sunday, it should automatically change it to Friday. Is it possible to set a formula so that the dates returned are always on a Friday for Saturday and Sunday.
For Eg: 20th May and 21st May is the weekend. So if i enter that day, it should automatically change to 19th May(Friday).
For many years I have recorded the date on which my roses bloom each year. The date is in the format dd/mm/year. I now want a formula that runs through these dates and identifies the earliest date and the latest date on which the roses flowered. My current formula always returns, say, 01/06/2012 as earlier than 01/05/2015. I want to be able to ignore the year and find a formula that in my example records 01/05 as earlier than 01/06. In other words, when searching for the earliest or latest I want to ignore the year and just focus on the days and months. Any ideas?

Hi Dear,
pls solve my below problem how i can calculate number of days without holidays. Please send me formula urgently.
Wednesday,November, 01, 2017 to Saturday,November, 18, 2017
Hi Zahid,
Please try to use one of the following formulas:
1. =NETWORKDAYS(DATE(2017,11,1),DATE(2017,11,18),{"11/01/2017","11/02/2017"})
This formula returns the number of working days between two dates, excluding weekends and any holidays specified in curly brackets.
2. =NETWORKDAYS.INTL(DATE(2017,11,1),DATE(2017,11,18),1,{"11/01/2017","11/02/2017"})
This formula does the same as the previous one. The difference is that you can adjust the calculation of weekends in the formula by changing the highlighted parameter if necessary.
Hope this will work for you.

Hello,
I'm afraid there's no easy way to solve your task with a formula. Using a VBA macro would be the best option here.
However, since we do not cover the programming area (VBA-related questions), I can advice you to try and look for the solution in VBA sections on mrexcel.com or excelforum.com.
Sorry I can't assist you better.
Hi,
Is it possible to compute a cell if date is weekday and not holiday or weekend? and compute a cell if date is weekend or holiday only?
Hi,
I need:
to establish the average time taken between start and end dates/times across multiple rows.
The start & end data provided is presented in two separate columns 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM' and I need the difference per row then an average of the total rows.
I have tried:
=INT(end-start)&" days "&TEXT(end-start,"h"" hrs ""m"" mins """) to extract the day/hour/minute difference between start and end per row but cannot find a formula that will allow me to work out the average based on these results.
Result will need to be specific to the minute.
Please can you suggest/advise.
Many thanks

I need help I have a formula returning a date from another date but I only want it to return weekdays.
Columns are
Release date Training date
3/15/2018 =DATE(YEAR(A2), MONTH(A2), DAY(A2)+2)
It calculates 03/17/2018 in the field but that is a weekend.
I have a spread sheet where i have a cell for sum of time worked for Monday through to Thursday(N,18) with an adjacent cell(O,18) for Friday. I also have a date cell(I,1) using the =TODAY() with adjacent cell(O,1) showing the day (=TEXT(I1,"dddd"). I want to hide the value of N18 when (O,1) = Friday and hide the value of (O,18) when (O,1) when (O,1) = Monday-Thursday. I can't seem to get the right start on this.

Example is below mention. I hope you give your response earliest.
Date Results
1-May-91 = if Friday = 30 other wise 0
Note:- Friday is not mentioned in the data which i have require
Mahendra:
If you do not need to display the word "Friday" then this will work:
=IF(WEEKDAY(A33)=6,30,0)
Excel's normal setting is that Friday is 6.
If you need to display the day's word it might be easiest to use a helper cell. In the helper cell you could enter:
=CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(A33),"Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat")
or a number of other variations on this technique all of which are explained here in AbleBits. Just search Weekday Function.
I need a formula that will tell me if a certain date is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th day of the week.
Tammy:
There is a complete explanation of this topic here:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/WEEKDAY-function-60E44483-2ED1-439F-8BD0-E404C190949A
Essentially you enter the date you're interested in and either accept Excel's default return type using Sunday(1) through Saturday(7) or enter the optional return type. It looks like this with the dat in A1:
WEEKDAY(A1) with the default return type or WEEKDAY(A1,2)
with return type 2. Return type 2 is Monday(1) through Sunday (7).
I have an excel sheet Where I need one column to display a date and another collum to display what date is 4 days away but only count business days. For example, Monday to display that same Friday in the next column, Tuesday to display the following Monday's date, Wednesday the next Tuesday so on and so on.
CJ:
I think what you want to use is the WORKDAY function.
Where the first date is in A18 and you want a workday 4 days from the date in A18 enter this in B18:
=WORKDAY(A18,4)
So, if the date in A18 is 6/7/18 four workdays forward is displayed in B18 as 6/13/18.
If you need to know the day of the week 6/13/18 is then this will show it in C18:
=CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(B4),"Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat")
You can enter "Sunday" or "SU" or Sunday in another language.
i need your help, our work days (Sunday to Thursday), once you input the date the following status should be done like these;
1. if the closing date is today = status "Today"
2. if the closing date before 2 days = status "Attention required!"
3. if the closing date before 3 to 7 days= status "Still time"
4. if the closing date past = status "Overdue"
5. if the closing days are day off (Friday and Saturday) it should not be counted.
I'm struggling with my Report, My requirement is based on Date Column in my Excel
1. to fetch Today() and Today()+1 from weekdays starting from Monday to Thursday and
2. For Friday, it has to fetch the row from friday,Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
I have created a column index after date column and trying to apply the below formula, But it is not working. Could anyone please help?
(A2 is my date column)
=IF((AND(WEEKDAY(A2,1)=1,WEEKDAY(A2,1)=2,WEEKDAY(A2,1)=6,WEEKDAY(A2,1)=7)),"","Closed"),
IF((AND(A2>=TODAY(), A2<=TODAY()+1)), "", "Closed")
I need a formula that will skip Sunday. I start with a date from another cell,"Friday, October 19, 2018". In the next cell I write =A3+1, but I must miss Sunday. How do I write a formula for this?

Any one help please.

Faisal:
You want to use an Excel function NETWORKDAYS or WORKDAYS. There is an excellent article here on AbleBits that explains these functions. The address is:
https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2015/05/20/excel-workday-networkdays-functions/
or simply search the site for the functions.
