How do I create a workday formula to track # of days an event takes place?

Hi Elisa,
What formula are you trying to use now?
Can you paste it here?
Also make sure that the date columns are set to be date type columns.
Try something like this.
=NETWORKDAYS([Start Date]@row; [End Date]@row)
The same version but with the below changes for convenience.
=NETWORKDAYS([Start Date]@row, [End Date]@row)
Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
Best,

Thank you for responding. Please don't judge me, but here is what I attempted
=WORKDAY([Start Date], [End Date])
They are date columns and the first date shows up on calendar view. I just need to be able to see duration of event days in the calendar. Ie training starts Monday ends Wednesday. Does that make sense?

Happy to help!
No judgment!
You were on the right track. Try this one.
=NETWORKDAYS([Start Date]@row, [End Date]@row)
Did it work?

Ok--one more question. The dates are fixed see below: but in Calendar view it's only showing day 1. Do you know how to get it to show all dates as blocked?
