=Abs(TODAY()-MIN(L2,V2))*if(MIN(L2,V2)Today(),-1,1)

or
=Abs(TODAY()-MIN(L2,V2))*Sign(Today()-MIN(L2,V2))

It doesn't sound like you need days360

BTW- how do I know if I need DAYS360 or not? Most the dates will be AFTER
today's date, but, eventually will lapse over to being BEFORE todays date,
so I need both instances...
Thanks

Your terminology is incorrect. You crossposted, which is OK.

I have 2 columns for dates. Sometimes only one of the two has an entry
in
it. Sometimes they both do. Although, they're NEVER both blank. I am
trying
to create a function that will compare the 2 dates (if there's even 2
there), and find out which one is the earliest of the two. If one date
is
missing from one column, it will just use the other date as the entry.
Once
it finds the earliest date between them, I want it to count how many
days
from the earliest date till today's date. I thought I did this right,
but,
the results are returning a #VALUE! answer. Can someone see what's
going
on
here and tell me how to make this work?
Thanks!

=IF(L2="", DAYS360(V2,TODAY())), IF(V2="", DAYS360(L2,TODAY())),
IF(L2<V2,
DAYS360(L2,TODAY())), IF(L2V2, DAYS360(V2,TODAY())), IF(L2=V2,
DAYS360(L2,TODAY()))

Do you really need DAYS360?

If not, and if L2 or V2 could be after today's date, then

=ABS(TODAY()-MIN(L2,V2))

If you need DAYS360,



=IF(TODAY()<MIN(L2,V2),DAYS360(TODAY(),MIN(L2,V2)) ,DAYS360(MIN(L2,V2),TODAY(
)))
