Try taking the quotes off the zero in your formula.........

=IF(C3=0,E3+0,E3+1)

........C...................D..................... ......E.........
1......1............10/25/2005...........10/26/2005
2......2............10/27/2005...........10/29/2005
3......0............10/29/2005...........10/29/2005
4......3............10/29/2005...........11/01/2005

This is how the data SHOULD look.

Column C is the duration of the project in days. Column D is the
project start date. Column E is the project end date.

In Column D I'm using the formula =IF(logical test,value if true,value
if false). As example, in D4 I'm using the formula
=IF(C3="0",E3+0,E3+1).

In my limited understanding, this is supposed to mean that if C3 is a
0, then D4 will report 10/29/2005, BUT if C3 is a number other than 0,
then D4 will report 10/30/2005.

Here is the issue: the formula =IF(C3="0",E3+0,E3+1) is ignoring the
E3+0 part - it ALWAYS adds 1 day to the duration,even when the C3=0.
Also, I tried flipping the true-false values by using
=IF(C3="0",E3+1,E3+0). In that case it ALWAYS adds 0 days to the
duration, even when the value is something other than 0.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I know it must be my
misunderstanding how this formula is supposed to work.
