WORKDAY function

This function takes three parameters start_date, days, and holidays. Holidays is an optional parameter; hence even if you ignore it, you will not have any problem in the calculation. start_date and days are the mandatory parameters. Start date should always be a proper date otherwise your function may not work as desired. With this function, you should be able to find a date after a certain number of days excluding the standard weekends that is Saturday and Sunday.

WORKDAY.INTL function

This function takes four parameters start_date, days, weekend and holidays. Weekend and holidays are optional parameters it can be ignored without any problem. However, using this function indicates that we are trying to use that weekend parameter. With the help of this weekend parameter, we can exclude the customised weekends from a calculation. You can set WORKDAY.INTL function to ignore the standard Saturday and Sunday as a weekend or you can use WORKDAY.INTL function to exclude more customised variation of a weekend by excluding a single day, for example, Sunday only Friday only from your calculations.
