Hi,

I have a formula that works by taking the current date and working out the
number of days between today and another date entered in a seperate cell, the
answer is show as a number.

This works fine, the problem I have is that when i copy the formula down
throughout the sheet, when the 2nd date cell is blank the result box (where
the formula is, is defaulting to 39926, once i enter a date into the 2nd
cell, the formula then works and shows the correct answer.

My question is, is there a way that rather than defaulting to 39926 that the
answer cell could remain blank until a date is entered into the 2nd date cell.

Thanks in advance for any help.
