How do I calculate the number of business days between a date range?

To calculate the number of days (excluding Saturday and Sunday) between two dates:

1. Add two Date fields to your form – one labelled Start Date, and another labelled End Date.
2. Add a Calculation field to your form labelled Number of Days. Set it to the Number type, and make sure that it’s set to internal view only. Then, use the following expression: =(EndDate - StartDate).Days
3. Add another Calculation field labelled Number of Business Days. Set it to the Number type and use the following expression:

=if StartDate.DayOfWeek = "Monday" then Math.Min(1+NumberOfDays%7,5) + (if NumberOfDays>6 then 5*Math.Floor(NumberOfDays/7) else 0) else
 if StartDate.DayOfWeek = "Tuesday" then Math.Min(1+NumberOfDays%7,4) + (if NumberOfDays>5 then 5*Math.Floor(NumberOfDays/7) + Math.Max(NumberOfDays%7-5,0) else 0)  else
 if StartDate.DayOfWeek = "Wednesday" then Math.Min(1+NumberOfDays%7,3) + (if NumberOfDays>4 then 5*Math.Floor(NumberOfDays/7) + Math.Max(NumberOfDays%7-4,0) else 0) else
 if StartDate.DayOfWeek = "Thursday" then Math.Min(1+NumberOfDays%7,2) + (if NumberOfDays>3 then 5*Math.Floor(NumberOfDays/7) + Math.Max(NumberOfDays%7-3,0) else 0) else
 if StartDate.DayOfWeek = "Friday" then Math.Min(1+NumberOfDays%7,1) + (if NumberOfDays>2 then 5*Math.Floor(NumberOfDays/7) + Math.Max(NumberOfDays%7-2,0) else 0) else
 if StartDate.DayOfWeek = "Saturday" then (if NumberOfDays>1 then 5*Math.Floor(NumberOfDays/7) + Math.Max(NumberOfDays%7-1,0) else 0) else
Math.Min(NumberOfDays%7,5) + (if NumberOfDays>0 then 5*Math.Floor(NumberOfDays/7) + Math.Max(NumberOfDays%7-6,0) else 0)

Essentially, the first calculation determines the number of days between the two dates. Then, the second calculation calculates the total number of days excluding the weekend.
