Default don't calculate if no date is entered

I need to calculate days passed up to today, using the formula
DAYS360(D2,TODAY()) which works great. However, in a row where a date has
not been entered yet the formula returns 38314, which I assume is calculating
from Jan 1900. What can I do to get Excel to just display 0 if no date is
enetered yet?

If(d2 = 0; 0; Days360(d2,today()))

While we're at it, DAYS360 will not calculate "days passed up to today" in all
cases. You most likely want a simple subtraction, as in:

=today()-d2
