This formula has 4 criteria:
Date received (J5)
Date claimed (K5)
Storage Start Date (L5)
Elapsed Days (M5)

The first 2 criteria are self explanatory. Storage start date is initiated
if goods aren't claimed within 24 hrs. I need to stop the elapsed days as
soon as a value is is entered into Date Claimed M5 - at the moment it
continues to count.

So what is wrong with the formula that you give?

The formula continues to count elapsed days from today's date whereas it
should stop as soon as the date '03/04/2007' is enetered. So the above
should read"1" days' storage not 15.

=IF(L5<"",IF(K5<"",MIN(K5-L5,1),TODAY()-L5+1),"") ?

David. Thanks. Unfortunately the formula returns a constant value of 1 i.e:
01/04/2007 13/04/2007 02/04/2007 1

Sorry, I was asleep, so my usual confusion between MIN and MAX when I
changed the formula at the last minute. I wanted a minimum limit, so I
should have used MAX.

Try
=IF(L5<"",IF(K5<"",MAX(K5-L5,1),TODAY()-L5+1),"")

Hi

Try
=IF(J5="","",IF(K5="",TODAY()-L5+1,(K5-L5)))
