    Result should be the number of weekdays only

    Check out the NETWORKDAYS() function. It handles only weekdays (i.e. no Saturdays or Sundays) and can handle optional predefined holidays as well. You will need to install the Analysis Tool Pack (under Tools->Add-Ins) to have this function available. Peace!! [americanflag] [peace]...

    Removing letters from a string

    Misunderstood Song Lyrics - that make sense...
