To calculate working days by month in Excel, use the NETWORKDAYS function. You'll need two dates (start and end) as parameters. Here’s a quick way: `=NETWORKDAYS(A1, B1)`, where A1 is the start date of the month, and B1 is the end date. To exclude holidays from the count, add a range of dates as a third parameter that lists these holidays. This function is incredibly useful for project planning or tracking employee attendance by giving you the exact number of workdays within a specified period.
