Two Formulas for one Cell?
 

I am trying to execute the following formula for dates of sent/received files
and I am also showing elapsed days since the files were sent.

=IF(C1="",0,(TODAY()-B1))

This works fine if I have sent the file, it keeps count of the elapsed days
since the file was sent. However, once I receive the file back, I put that
date in, and I need this formula to then =C1-B1, which will give a total of
elapsed days. I have tried to figure this out, but for the life of me, can't
get anything to work. Any suggestions?

Maybe

=IF(C1="",TODAY()-B1,C1-B1)

=IF(C1="",(TODAY()-B1),C1-B1)

with 'date sent' in B1 and 'date received' in C1.

does that help?
