This =IF((I8-E8)*J8/100=0,0,(I8-E8)*J8/100) returns 0 when the two dates are
the same. In fact one could just use (I8-E8)*J8/100). When the dates are not
the same the formula multiplies the "number of days of the project" by
"percentage complete" and then divides by 100. Not very clear what the
purpose of this is. It does not seem to tell you anything useful.
In the send formula one subtracts 'percent complete' from 'number of days'.
Why would anyone do that?
Sorry I could not help

In complete cell this formula is used
=IF((I8-E8)*J8/100=0,0,(I8-E8)*J8/100)
In Remaining cell this formula is used =IF((I8-E8)-F8=0,"",(I8-E8)-F8)

My question is, what do these formula show? Complete / Remaining what?
Days? Percentage? If its days greats that's what I need and only
working
days.

Please help ASAP
