Using Networkdays with negative numbers
say i have 3 columns ID Est Finish Date and Actual Finish Date and I
want an extra column that tells me how many working days before or after the estimated finish date the actual finish date is. I used Networkdays and it gave me the number of days after the estimated date minus the weekends, however when the actual date was before the estimated date the formula still counted the weekends. Does anyone know a way of stopping this from happening? |
