Date formual issue
Hi everyone
I have two colums with dates in and I want to subtract one from the other so so I can get hte dumber of days between the two, this is the east part. The problem I have is when one of the colums is blank I want to use todays date so I can avoid #VALUE! being returned, I been reading a looking up posts here for the best part of two hours and can not find the answer, can anyone help me please? Many thanks Martyn |

Many thanks Martyn Try this: Replace B1 with IF(ISBLANK(B1),TODAY(),B1) To get the number of days between two dates you just have to subtract them. =IF(ISBLANK(B1),TODAY(),B1)-IF(ISBLANK(A1),TODAY(),A1) Hope this helps / Lars-Åke |

If you really want to use today's date then use:
=A1-(MAX(TODAY(),B1)) or: =MAX(A1,TODAY())-B1 depending of which date will be blank or: =IF(COUNT(A16:B16)<2,"",A16-B16) to only calculte when there are two dates showing. -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Martyn" wrote in message ...
