Count the Number of Weekends between Two dates

If you want to calculate the number of weekends between two dates, you need to create a formula based on the SUM function, the INT function and the WEEKDAY function. For example, you have two dates in Cell B2:C2, and the start date is in Cell B2, and the end date is in Cell C2. You can use the following formula to achieve the result.

=SUM(INT((WEEKDAY(B2-{1,7})+C2-B2)/7))

Type this formula into a blank cell and then press Enter key in your keyboard.

The number of Weekends between those two dates is calculated.

Or you can use another formula to achieve the same result. Type the following formula into a blank cell and press Enter key.

=C2-B2+1-NETWORKDAYS(B2,C2)
