Assuming 1st date in A2, 2nd date in B2.

Try this:

=(B2-A2)-SUM(IF(WEEKDAY(A2-1+ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&TRUNC(B2-A2)+1)))=1,1,0))

Confirm with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER rather than just Enter.

Or..

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNA(MATCH(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&A2)),1),{1},0))))

where StartDate in A1 and EndDate in A2

Krishnakumar -- for some reason I have to subtract 1 from the result to get the total I am looking for but no problem I can make that adjustment.
