Hey Noorain, what's up :)

Similar methods used, but, just to touch-base on the differences, what I
made use of is the fact that the default return_type of the WEEKDAY function
is 1, and it also means that the first day is expected as a Sunday. So in
effect, if you equate the resultant array to any number from 1 to 7, it will
be equivalent to Sunday to Saturday respectively. So all you need to do to
find the number of Mondays for example from my formula, is to change 1 to 2.

In your formula, if you wanted to find the number of Mondays, you'd have to
modify the conditional also, from >6(OR =7 cause it can never be greater
than 7) to <2(OR =1 cause it can never be less than 1)

=SUMPRODUCT(--(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A16&":"&A17)),2)<2))

OR

=SUMPRODUCT(--(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A16&":"&A17)),2)=1))

So I would recommend going with
=SUMPRODUCT(--(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&B1)))=2)) for Monday

Regards,

Sam
