NETWORKDAYS between a date and a number

How does it work to minus a number of days from a date cell using networkdays?
One column is a Due Date that I would like to populate based on a set date that will be static in [Due Date]9 cell

I put in the Due Date column
=[Due Date]9 - 180 (works fine, and gives me the result of a date based on the cell [Due Date]9 minus 180 but looking for it to be networkdays.

=NETWORKDAYS([Due Date]9, -180) gives an error. I feel is simple and i'm missing it.

    If you use WORKDAY you should get your answer:
    =WORKDAY([Due Date]9, -180).
