Excel: How to convert Calendar Days to Workdays

Example of the Table:
Example of the Table

Hello! I have to convert a table that displays shipping times from A to B. A shipment can leave at any day Mon - Fri. And it displays the Lead Time of the shipment in days. The Rows represents Different Countries and Zones where a shipment can travel

A typical value in the table is between 1 - 16.

EDIT:

The Table data is displayed in the idea that if a Shipment leaves on Monday it takes 7 calendar days to reach its destination. So what I would need is a way to subtract weekends from the Raw day count.

For example the First Monday value takes a week to reach it's destination. I would need the "7" to not count the weekend. So it would be "5" workdays.

I've added helper row on top of the original data, so you can use this formula to subtract weekends:
=A3-INT((A3+A$1)/7)*2

If you rework your table to somehow reveal actual start and end dates, you will have NETWORKDAYS() come in handy for calculating the day counts. So:

enter image description here

... here with C3 containing =B3-A3 and D3 =NETWORKDAYS(A3;B3)
(=Net Workdays)

This will also allow for any number of days for the deliveries (as shown in the excel sheet!), and additionally allow to remove holidays by adding these to a list, with that list passed as an additional argument to NETWORKDAYS()
