NETWORKDAYS calc with 3 columns of dates
I have 3 columns of dates (A1, B1, C1).
Several different scenarios: 1. If A1 is blank, but B1 & C1 are populated, I want to put the result in D1. 2. If B1 is blank, but A1 & C1 are populated, I want to put the result in D1. 3. If C1 is blank, but A1 & B1 are populated, I want to put the result in D1. 4. If A1 & B1 are blank, I want to put "N/A" in D1. 5. If A1 & C1 are blank, I want to put "N/A" in D1. 6. If B1 & C1 are blank, I want to put "N/A" in D1. Why are there 3 date fields you ask, the powers that be want it that way, lucky me. Thanks, Mendz |

Bob,
The formula almost works, unless I fat fingered something, which is entirely possible (I'll double check again). When A1 & B1 are populated the calculation works. When A1 & C1 are populated the calculation works. When A1, B1 & C1 are populated, only A1 & B1 are added. When B1 & C1 are popluated the result is always "1", no matter what I put in C1.

Sorry about that. I want the result to be the total number of workdays between the given dates. Thanks, Mendz "Mark" wrote: Mendz5 wrote: I have 3 columns of dates (A1, B1, C1).

Mendz,
No it was my error on the second part. This corrects the always 1 problem =IF(COUNTIF(A1:C1,"<")<2,"N/A",ABS(NETWORKDAYS(IF(A1<"",A1,B1),IF(OR(A1="" ,B1=""),C1,B1)))) I though A1 and B1 and C1 was not a valid condition, so didn't cater for it.

Ok.
First, I check if all 3 cells are completed COUNTIF(A1:C1,"<")=3 If this is true, I determine the earliest (MIN(A1:C1)) and latest (MAX(A1:C1)) dates and calculate the difference using NETWORKDAYS(MIN(A1:C1),MAX(A1:C1)) If they are not all completed I check if any two are COUNTIF(A1:C1,"<")<2 and if so error with "N/A" If any two are completed, then either A or B must be one of them, so I get the first date with IF(A1<"",A1,B1) then I determine the second date as either (A or B) or C, depending upon whether the first chosen is A or B (for instance if A is completed, then the second date must be B or C). The formula for this is IF(OR(A1="",B1=""),C1,B1) I pass the two selected dates to NETWORKSDAYS and ABS it in case I don't pass them in date order.

Bob,
In 2003 when excel thinks there is an error it puts a little green triangle in the upper left corner of the cell. When you click on the flag, a drop down appears with several options. At the top of the drop down it states inconsistent formula. I selected ignore error. The formula does appear to work properly. I took the earliest and the lastest dates and plugged them into one of the formulas that I know work and received the same results. So thanks again! This discussion group has been a great help.

NETWORKDAYS calc with 3 columns of dates
Bob,
I'm back again. After looking at the results of the most recent formula, I realized that I didn't explain properly what I needed, sorry. Anyway, here it is: There are 3 sets of 2 columns, each set has a beginning and ending date, for example: J2 - 7/26/06 and K2 8/4/06 that is the networkdays that should be counted M2 - 8/8/06 and N2 8/9/06 this duration should be added to the above results Q2 - 8/14/06 and R2 8/16/06 this duration should be added to the above results. Of course, if any one of the sets only has 1 date, then that set should not be included. Here is what I have coded: =IF(COUNT(J2:K2,M2:N2,Q2:R2)<2,"N/A",IF(COUNTIF(J2:K2,"<")=2,NETWORKDAYS(MIN(J2:K2) ,MAX(J2:K2))+IF(COUNTIF(M2:N2,"<")=2,NETWORKDAYS( MIN(M2:N2),MAX(M2:N2))+IF(COUNTIF(Q2:R2,"<")=2,NE TWORKDAYS(MIN(Q2:R2),MAX(Q2:R2)))))) If all cells are populated, then the formula works. If the first set of cells is missing 1 date, I get a "FALSE" in the target cell If the second or third set of cells is missing one date, the formula only returns the duration of the first set of cells.

NETWORKDAYS calc with 3 columns of dates
=IF(COUNTIF(A1:C1,"<")<2,"N/A",IF(MIN(A1:C1)=MAX(A1:C1),1,NETWORKDAYS(MIN(A
1:C1)+1,MAX(A1:C1)))) -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Mendz5" wrote in message ... Bob, Forgot to mention the following: If A1 and B1 are the same date and C1 is blank, then the result should be 1 day duration. The same goes if A1, B1 and C1 are the same date the result should be 1 day duration. If A1 and C1 are the same date and B1 is blank, the result should be 1 day duration. And finally, If B1 and C1 are the same date and A1 is blank the result should be 1 day duration. Sorry for this mess :-( Thank, Mendz "Bob Phillips" wrote: You mean that if there are 3 dates, he wants the difference between the second and the third? BTW, this all seems odd, what is it for? -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Mendz5" wrote in message ... Bob, Now the boss doesn't want the first day of the range to count. This was the first formula you gave me with the 3 columns: =IF(COUNTIF(A1:C1,"<")=3,NETWORKDAYS(MIN(A1:C1),M AX(A1:C1)), IF(COUNTIF(A1:C1,"<")<2,"N/A", ABS(NETWORKDAYS(IF(A1<"",A1,B1),IF(OR(A1="",B1="" ),C1,B1))))) I think a "+1" has to be added but I'm not sure where in the formula to place it. Thanks, Mendz "Bob Phillips" wrote: Adds 0 if both dates are not present. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Mendz5" wrote in message ... Bob, Sorry to be a pest, but what does the zero do? Mendz "Bob Phillips" wrote: The ABS is just so that I don't have to worry whether the first date is earlier or later than the second, saves testing for it. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Mendz5" wrote in message ... Bob, Thanks again! What did adding the ABS and the zero at the end of each NETWORKDAYS function do? I'm just trying to understand the logic, so that I can use it in the future.

Bob, I'm back again. After looking at the results of the most recent formula, I realized that I didn't explain properly what I needed, sorry. Anyway, here it is: There are 3 sets of 2 columns, each set has a beginning and ending date, for example: J2 - 7/26/06 and K2 8/4/06 that is the networkdays that should be counted M2 - 8/8/06 and N2 8/9/06 this duration should be added to the above results Q2 - 8/14/06 and R2 8/16/06 this duration should be added to the above results. Of course, if any one of the sets only has 1 date, then that set should not be included. Here is what I have coded: =IF(COUNT(J2:K2,M2:N2,Q2:R2)<2,"N/A",IF(COUNTIF(J2:K2,"<")=2,NETWORKDAYS(MI N(J2:K2),MAX(J2:K2))+IF(COUNTIF(M2:N2,"<")=2,NETW ORKDAYS(MIN(M2:N2),MAX(M2: N2))+IF(COUNTIF(Q2:R2,"<")=2,NETWORKDAYS(MIN(Q2:R 2),MAX(Q2:R2)))))) If all cells are populated, then the formula works. If the first set of cells is missing 1 date, I get a "FALSE" in the target cell If the second or third set of cells is missing one date, the formula only returns the duration of the first set of cells. Thanks, Mendz "Bob Phillips" wrote: I wonder what inconsistent formula actually means? Just looked it up and apparently it means that the formula in adjacent cells seem to follow a pattern, and the formula in that cell does not match the formula. So it seems reasonable to just ignore it. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Mendz5" wrote in message ... Bob, In 2003 when excel thinks there is an error it puts a little green triangle in the upper left corner of the cell. When you click on the flag, a drop down appears with several options. At the top of the drop down it states inconsistent formula. I selected ignore error. The formula does appear to work properly. I took the earliest and the lastest dates and plugged them into one of the formulas that I know work and received the same results. So thanks again! This discussion group has been a great help.

Do you get the correct answer? -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Mendz5" wrote in message ... Bob, After entering the formula a green flag appeared in the cell and states that the the formula is inconsistent. Should I ignore it?
