I have a workbook with several worksheets (tabs)

The first and main worksheet has eight (8) columns with N rows.

I wish to calculate the number of days between two date values and sum the
results for rows that meet a certain criteria.

Lets use a simple example (so I can understand)

Three columns as follows:

A. Start Date
B. Due Date
C. Criteria

If the word in column C is €œDone€� than calculate the number of days between
A & B and add it to a sum.

A B C
Start Date Due Date Status
01/01/08 01/31/08 Done
02/01/08 04/15/08 Done
03/01/08 05/10/08 Open
04/01/08 06/15/08 Open
05/02/08 06/15/08 Done

Thank you in advance for your help.

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(C2:C6="done"),B2:B6-A2:A6)

Thank you for the prompt and accurate reply it worked perfectly.... however I
forgot one element which I have not been able to get to work.

I wish to calculate using "NETWORKDAYS" I have tried everyway I can think of
to get the formula to work with "NETWORKDAYS" but I haven't found the
solution.

Could you please tell me how to use NETWORKDAYS in this type of calculation.

Thank you

NETWORKDAYS won't work with arrays so you'd have to do something like this:

=IF(C2="done",NETWORKDAYS(A2,B2,holidays),"")

Copy down as needed.

Then use a SUM formula on that column.
