I have a list of names / entries for a raffle where some people have multiple entries. I want to draw multiple winners and want to ensure those who have multiple entries are weighted accordingly, however once someone has won they should be unable to win a second time. How would this be done in excel?

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
Maybe this.
