Working Days in Google Sheets & Excel

What this pulls

Count business days in a cell. Returns the working days in a month — Google Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 1 credit per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

See it in a cell

A real example — the input you type, and the values you can pull from it. Click any cell to see the formula behind it.

Ways to use it

One value per row

Fill =VERVE("workingdays", "US", "field", "workingDaysCount") down a column and Working Days returns a result for every row — a batch of live values in a single drag, no code.

Enrich data in place

Add Working Days beside a table you already have to append its output right where your data lives, then sort, filter, or chart on it.

Stays fresh on its own

Set the sheet to refresh on a schedule and the working days values keep themselves current without anyone re-typing.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("workingdays", "US", "field", "workingDaysCount")

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("workingdays", "US", "field", "workingDaysCount")

Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

month
The month you want to get the number of working days for
=VERVE("workingdays", "US", "month", "10")
yearPremium
The year you want to get the number of working days for
=VERVE("workingdays", "US", "year", "2026")

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Working Days Count
=VERVE("workingdays", "US", "field", "workingDaysCount")
Non Working Days Count
=VERVE("workingdays", "US", "field", "nonWorkingDaysCount")
Working Days
=VERVE("workingdays", "US", "field", "workingDays")
Non Working Days
=VERVE("workingdays", "US", "field", "nonWorkingDays")
Non Working Days › Date
=VERVE("workingdays", "US", "field", "nonWorkingDays.0.date")
Non Working Days › Reasons
=VERVE("workingdays", "US", "field", "nonWorkingDays.0.reasons")

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Working Days into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("workingdays", "US", "field", "workingDaysCount") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.

What data can I pull from Working Days?

Working Days returns workingDaysCount, nonWorkingDaysCount, workingDays, nonWorkingDays and nonWorkingDays.0.date, plus 1 more — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.

Can I narrow what Working Days returns?

Yes — Working Days takes "month" and "year" as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("workingdays", "US", "month", "10") shapes the result without changing anything else.

Can I fill a whole column of Working Days at once?

Yes. Put your country values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.

How many credits does each Working Days cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.

Does Working Days work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
