To calculate workdays in a month in Excel, use the NETWORKDAYS function. The formula is `=NETWORKDAYS(start_date, end_date, [holidays])`. Replace `start_date` and `end_date` with the first and last dates of the month you’re calculating. Optionally, you can add a range of holiday dates. This will give you the total number of workdays, excluding weekends and specified holidays.
