Date subtraction -How to not show negative when 2nd date not entered
 
Hi, I have a section of a worksheet that just needs to show working days
between two dates.
For example, an order was entered on 9/2/07 and complete on 9/15/07

The formula =NETWORKDAYS(A1, A9) works perfectly except that until the
"completed date" ise filled in, a negative number appears.

Is there a way to have that remain blank until both dates have been entered?

Thanks!

Hi Edward,

change your formula as
=IF(A9="","",NETWORKDAYS(A1, A9))
