Hi codeslizer,
thanks for the reply. The tricky bit here is the need to knock out any sundays and public holidays from the result.

workdays.intl is a good start (once you understand how it seems to work) but I have some formatting issues with how to actually use the results of the Minute function when the result is less than 10, I can tweak the display but not use it in a formula like a concatenate
