Datedif function
Hi...I have a worksheet where dates are manually inputed. The columns are
labeled Input date (G2) and Date Closed (P2). The final column is labelled Total Dates Open (W2) 1- What is the correct format I should use if I use the Dateif function to calculate the total number of days from the Input date to the Date closed. 2- Also, How do I use DateIF to caculate the input date and today's actual date (real-time,until the date closed actually happens) to still caculate the total dates open. For example G2 has an input date of 8/26/08 and P2 would have (todays actual date) and still caculate the Total dates open to automatically display in column W2. Thanks! -- TBJohnson |

To get the total number of days from Input gate to Date Closed, the formula
=P2-G2 will do. If you particularly want to use DATEDIF, then use =DATEDIF(G2,P2,"d") Your second question isn't clear, but if you are saying that while P2 is blank you want to use today's date in your W2 calculation, then try =IF(P2="",TODAY(),P2)-G2 -- David Biddulph "Taryn" wrote in message ...
