How can I get the working days between two dates and put the result in a field ??

Hello, I've tried all the ways but I'm not getting it, I need that when I put the start date and end date they separate the working days and learn in the DiasTrabalhados__c field. I am not able to develop the necessary validation rule for such an action,
Thanks

Hi Eduardo,

Finding the Number of Business Days Between Two Dates

Calculating how many business days passed between two dates is slightly more complex than calculatingtotal elapsed days. The basic strategy is to choose a reference Monday from the past and find out howmany full weeks and any additional portion of a week have passed between the reference date and thedate you’re examining. These values are multiplied by five (for a five-day work week) and then the differencebetween them is taken to calculate business days.

Please use the below code: 
(5 * ( FLOOR((date_1- DATE(1900,1, 8) ) / 7 ) ) + MIN(5, MOD(date_1- DATE(1900,1, 8), 7 ) ) )
-
(5 * ( FLOOR((date_2- DATE(1900,1, 8) ) / 7 ) ) + MIN(5, MOD(date_2- DATE(1900,1, 8), 7 ) ) )
In this formula, date_1 is the more recent date and date_2 is the earlier date. If your work week runsshorter or longer than five days, replace all fives in the formula with the length of your week.

Hope this helps you.
If this helps kindly mark it as solved so that it may help others in the future.
