    If you don’t mind using Analysis ToolPak functions you can try this approach:

    First you need a list of holiday dates, e.g. 2nd Jan 2012, 6th April 2012. List these one per cell, perhaps in another worksheet and name that list holidays.

    In A1 put the first of the month you want to see, e.g. 1/1/2012 (if you want it to default to current month always then use this formula =EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)+1) – format that cell as mmm-yy

    Now use this formula in A3 copied across to W3

    =IF(WORKDAY($A1-1,COLUMNS($A3:A3),holidays)>EOMONTH($A1,0),"",WORKDAY($A1-1,COLUMNS($A3:A3),holidays))

    format cells with custom format dd

    and then in A4 use this formula copied across to W4

    =LEFT(TEXT(A3,"ddd"))
