WORKDAY.INTL

Returns the date calculated from a start date with a specific number of work days, before or after the start date. The calculation can include week-ends and holidays as non-working days.

Syntax

WORKDAY.INTL(StartDate; Days [; Weekend [; Holidays]])

StartDate: is the date from when the calculation is carried out.

Days is the number of workdays. Positive value for a result after the start date, negative value for a result before the start date.

Weekend is an optional parameter – a number or a string used to specify the days of the week that are weekend days and are not considered working days. Weekend is a weekend number or string that specifies when weekends occur. Weekend number values indicate the following weekend days:

Number 1 to 7 for two-day weekends and 11 to 17 for one-day weekends.

Number	Weekend
1 or omitted	Saturday and Sunday
2	Sunday and Monday
3	Monday and Tuesday
4	Tuesday and Wednesday
5	Wednesday and Thursday
6	Thursday and Friday
7	Friday and Saturday
11	Sunday only
12	Monday only
13	Tuesday only
14	Wednesday only
15	Thursday only
16	Friday only
17	Saturday only

Weekend string provides another way to define the weekly non-working days. It must have seven (7) characters – zeros (0) for working day and ones (1) for non-working day. Each character represents a day of the week, starting with Monday. Only 1 and 0 are valid. “1111111” is an invalid string and should not be used. For example, the weekend string “0000011” defines Saturday and Sunday as non-working days.

Holidays is an optional list of dates that must be counted as non-working days. The list can be given in a cell range.

When entering dates as part of formulas, slashes or dashes used as date separators are interpreted as arithmetic operators. Therefore, dates entered in this format are not recognized as dates and result in erroneous calculations. To keep dates from being interpreted as parts of formulas use the DATE function, for example, DATE(1954;7;20), or place the date in quotation marks and use the ISO 8601 notation, for example, "1954-07-20". Avoid using locale dependent date formats such as "07/20/54", the calculation may produce errors if the document is loaded under different locale settings.

Unambiguous conversion is possible for ISO 8601 dates and times in their extended formats with separators. If a #VALUE! error occurs, then unselect Generate #VALUE! error in - Collabora Office Calc - Formula, button Details... in section "Detailed Calculation Settings", Conversion from text to number list box.

Example

What date comes 20 workdays after December 13, 2016? Enter the start date in C3 and the number of workdays in D3.

The weekend parameter (number) may be left blank or defined as 1 for default weekend (non-working days) – Saturday and Sunday.

Cells F3 to J3 contain five (5) holidays for Christmas and New Year in date format: December 24, 2016; December 25, 2016; December 26, 2016; December 31, 2016; and January 1, 2017.

=WORKDAY.INTL(C3;D3;;F3:J3) returns January 11, 2017 in the result cell, say D6 (use date format for the cell).

To define Friday and Saturday as weekend days, use the weekend parameter 7.

=WORKDAY.INTL(C3;D3;7;F3:J3) returns January 15, 2017 with weekend parameter 7.

To define Sunday only the weekend day, use the weekend parameter 11.

=WORKDAY.INTL(C3;D3;11;F3:J3) returns January 9, 2017.

Alternatively, use the weekend string "0000001" for Sunday only weekend.

=WORKDAY.INTL(C3;D3;"0000001";F3:J3) returns January 9, 2017.

The function can be used without the two optional parameters – Weekday and Holidays – by leaving them out:

=WORKDAY.INTL(C3;D3) gives the result: January 10, 2017.
