I think you will need to test for A1 being blank (as Biff's approach did),
otherwise today's date will be returned on all "empty" rows your formula is
copied down to.

I would like to add the dates that someone is employed which is easy if
you
have a Job Start Date and Job End Date. I just go something like C1-B1
and
format the calculating cell into a number. However, what do I want to
tell
it if End Date is blank, calculate it by todays date?


Job Start Date Job End Date Days Employed
4/1/2009 7/1/2009 91
4/5/2009 -39908
