Hello guys
I'm having some problems trying to calculate the number of days worked, based on total hours and the hours I work per day.

For example, I work 8 hours a day, and at the end of my job's internship, I have 420 hours. How do I calculate the number of day's I've worked?

What I have tried:

Tried to divide 420 by 8 to get the number os days, and then divide that value with 7 to get the number of weeks.

Do you really work 7 days each week?

Sorry, didn't have time to come here and respond to you, but the problem was that it was giving me decimal values. I wanted the full week quocient. And with the answer from chill60, I could finally get it working ;)

You are right in what you are doing IF you work 7 days a week. Me ..no, I work 5 days a week.

So if cell A2 contains the hours worked you can get the Days worked in cell B2 with the formula

VB

=A2/8

If you want whole days only then make that

VB

=INT(A2/8)

To get the number of weeks worked in cell C2 use formula

VB

=A2/8/5

or if you want whole weeks only use

VB

=INT(A2/8/5)

Nice.

Yeah, actually some weeks I need to work on the weekend, so even if I do not work on weekends most of the time, the value would be set to 0, and if I work it simply accepts it as a weekday. This worked very well my friend.!
