If Date Function
I would like to add the dates that someone is employed which is easy if you
have a Job Start Date and Job End Date. I just go something like C1-B1 and format the calculating cell into a number. However, what do I want to tell it if End Date is blank, calculate it by todays date? Job Start Date Job End Date Days Employed 4/1/2009 7/1/2009 91 4/5/2009 -39908 -- Rose |

I think you will need to test for A1 being blank (as Biff's approach did),
otherwise today's date will be returned on all "empty" rows your formula is copied down to. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Jacob Skaria" wrote in message ... =IF(B1="",TODAY()-A1,B1-A1) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Rose" wrote: I would like to add the dates that someone is employed which is easy if you have a Job Start Date and Job End Date.
