To calculate working days in Excel excluding weekends and holidays, use the `NETWORKDAYS` function. Simply enter `=NETWORKDAYS(start_date, end_date, holidays)` where `start_date` and `end_date` are the range of days you're considering, and `holidays` is an optional range of dates that should be excluded. This function automatically excludes weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and any dates you specify as holidays, providing you with the total number of working days within the specified range.
