WORKDAY.INTL function in Google Sheets

Calculates the date after a specified number of workdays excluding specified weekend days and holidays.

=WORKDAY.INTL(start_date, num_days, [weekend], [holidays])

WORKDAY.INTL syntax and parameters

Four arguments, two required.

  • start_dateanyRequired

    The date from which to begin counting.

  • num_daysnumberRequired

    The number of working days to advance from start_date. If negative, counts backwards.

  • weekendanyOptional

    [ OPTIONAL - 1 by default ] - A number or string representing which days of the week are considered weekends. String method: weekends can be specified using seven 0’s and 1’s, where the first number in the set represents Monday and the last number is for Sunday. A zero means that the day is a work day, a 1 means that the day is a weekend. For example, “0000011” would mean Saturday and Sunday are weekends. Number method: instead of using the string method above, a single number can be used. 1 = Saturday/Sunday are weekends, 2 = Sunday/Monday, and this pattern repeats until 7 = Friday/Saturday. 11 = Sunday is the only weekend, 12 = Monday is the only weekend, and this pattern repeats until 17 = Saturday is the only weekend.

  • holidaysanyOptional

    [ OPTIONAL ] - A range or array constant containing the dates to consider holidays.
