Date formula help

JArrington

Hi,

I have a start date column and a complete date column. I am trying to track number of days since the start date (to today) that stops counting when the complete date column is filled in. If I use NETDAYS, it does not give me a count until the second date is filled in.

Thanks!

Hi @JArrington,

You could use an If statement that could look something like the below.

=IF([Completed Date]@row = "", NETDAYS([Start Date]@row, TODAY()), NETDAYS([Start Date]@row, [Completed Date]@row))

This IF statement uses the TODAY() option where the field is not completed, therefore every day this will show as a day older.

I have added a screenshot of a demo sheet I created to look at this.

Hope this helps!
