Combining an If Statement with NETWORKDAYS function
 

Hi

Here is my problem. I am trying to work out the number of working days
between 2 dates to assess delivery performance. In some instances it is
a positive number of days because goods have been delivered early and
in others it is a negative number of days because goods have been
delivered late. To get an accurate number of working days, I am using
the NETWORKDAYS function and then subtracting 1 more day. This is fine
where the number of days is a positve value but where the number of days
is a negative value, I actually need to add 1 more day on. Hopefully
the screenshot will illustrates this. The formula I have used in P2
is:

=NETWORKDAYS(O2,N2)-1

The answer appears as -5 but in actual fact it should be -3

The formula has been copied in the remaining cells in column P. It
gives the correct answer in P3 because this is a positive number of
days.

I wondered if I could combined an If statement with NETWORKDAYS but
couldn't get this to work.

Any help would be much appreciated
