Hi, the function working day needs the year because he works with this parameter.

it calculated the laboral day from each month depends of the year.

if you dont put the year, the function doesnt know what have to calculated, and the result will be incorrect

You don't know the year for your DAY MONTH values? Then I think you can't calculate the working days between two DAY MONTH combinations.

If you know the year, but it's just not available in your source data, you can create complete dates in networkdays() function, like

=networkdays(makedate(2014), makedate(2014,MONTH,DAY) )

What about leap years?

If you don't care, you can try

=makedate(2014, MONTH, DAY) - makedate(2014) +1

to get the date number,

or a little shorter:

DayNumberOfYear(makedate(2014, MONTH, DAY) )

So if i can calculate the day number of year without year i can resolve my problem

If you want an approximate number, you can use an assumption that five of each seven days are working days. In this case, using Stefan's expression:

=DayNumberOfYear(makedate(2014, MONTH, DAY) ) *5/7
