Enter duration as "Net Days" but still count work days without Sat/Sun.

Under project settings I want to make Saturday and Sunday as working days so "Hard" products would follow a timeline that includes weekends. A task starting on October 1st with a duration of 31 days would end on Oct 31st.

I also want to count the number of weekdays (exclude Sat/Sun) between two dates so I calculate total labor cost. A task starting on Oct 1st and ending on Oct 31st would have a duration of 23 days.

Is there a easy way to accomplish both of these items on the same sheet? Is there a way to use multiple calendars --> similar to Projects?

The easiest way may be to use the 'elapsed' function of durations.

Search this article for 'elapsed' and see if that helps.

If not, there are more complicated ways to likely get your solution.
