Default Subtracting Dates with Empty Cells

=IF(COUNT(J15:K15)<2,
=IF(COUNT(J15:K15)<2,


There is essentially no difference between the 2 of those expressions.

I see at the end of the formula you have:

......)<6).")"

It should be:

......)<6))

About that message, I would just ignore it. I have all those error checking
messages turned off.

was not working so I tried
=IF(COUNT(J15:K15)<2,"",NETWORKDAYS(J15,K15)-1)
instead and had some success because the cell went blank, but I realized I
need for the cell to change to "0", otherwise other formulas get fowled
up.
I also noticed next to the cells that didn't go blank an exclamation point
that when I clicked it gave me this message"The formula in this cell
refers
to a range that has additional numbers adjacent to it." Do you have any
thoughts? Thank you for your feedback.

Add this to the beginning of the formula:

=IF(COUNT(J15:K15)<2,0,

And add a closing ")" to the very end of the formula

I am using this formula to figure out how many days are between two
dates
without including the weekends.
=NETWORKDAYS(J15,K15)-(WEEKDAY(J15,2)<6)+(1-MOD(3,1))*(WEEKDAY(J15,2)<6)+(MOD(K15,1)-1)*(WEEKDAY(K15,2)<6).
I have placed this formula in cell N15.

It works very well, however in cell N15 the columns I am subtracting
(cell
J15 and column K15) are missing dates. Could you tell me what I could
include in this formula so that it does not work when a cell in column
J
and/or column K is missing a date? What I would like to happen instead
is
for cell N15 (which contains the formula) to be blank or contain a zero
inside of it, when dates are missing from J15 and/or K15. Is this
possible?
