Using formula as follows should return with a 0 if the dates are the same. Why is it returning a 1 instead? A similar formula if used in Excel will return a 0, so I would assume Smartsheets would do the same. Am I missing something in the formula?
Thanks,

If it's in a project template, Smartsheet may be allocating a full workday to the date range. Smartsheet also doesn't deal with times very well and UTC vs Local time can cause issues with the displayed date being different to the underlying system date.
So [Expected Finish Launch Date]48 may be starting at 9am and [Planned Finish Launch Date]48 may finish at 5pm. Or the dates may even be treated by Smartsheet as different (despite the date being displayed the same). Someone else out there may know more about this.
I know it's weird behaviour, but if it's consistent then you can possibly counteract it by changing the formula to =NETDAYS([Expected Finish Launch Date]48, [Planned Finish Launch Date]48) -1
Or I could just be speaking waffling off on a tangent and be completely wrong
Thanks, Chris! I agree with your theory, and your formula suggestion is just what I needed. Thanks so much!!

My pleasure Lawrence

The intent of this is to ensure the project has been added to both sheets. I've tried an index and collect formula, but this requires 2 criteria (right??). I really just need a…

Basically, each column respresents a task, while the row represents in…
Dear Community, Can you please advise? I have a sheet where among other columns I have a column listing contacts "Champions" (multiple per cell) the other columns are for example: Countries (a list of 72) The list of Projects (approx 15) - I can add to that sheet, or I can create in a Helper Sheet. I haven't done that yet…
