How do I create an if blank then this and if populated then that statement?

AMcElfresh

Hello! Below is my current formula for a column to calculate days behind.

=[Planned Start Date]@row - TODAY()

The problem is we want this sheet to be accurate without having to have cells have different formulas.

What I would like it to calculate is IF [Actual Start Date]@row is populated, then [Planned Start Date]@row - [Actual Start Date]@row. IF [Actual Start Date]@row ISBLANK, then  [Planned Start Date]@row - TODAY.

Hi @AMcElfresh

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF([Actual Start Date]@row <> "", [Planned Start Date]@row - [Actual Start Date]@row, [Planned Start Date]@row - TODAY())

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!
