IF statement with NETDAYS

TT@CO

I am trying to use the following formula from Excel - =IF(ISBLANK(C2),DAYS360(B2,D2),DAYS360(B2,C2))

with NETDAYS so that I can count days from Admit to Release, or if Release is blank, Date Today.  

I tried =IF(ISBLANK Release@row, NETDAYS (Admit@row,[Date Today]@row), NETDAYS (Admit@row,Release@row))

 

L_123

First catch I see is that the formula ISBLANK, like all smartsheet formulas, requires parenthesis

 

=IF(ISBLANK(Release@row), NETDAYS (Admit@row,[Date Today]@row), NETDAYS (Admit@row,Release@row))

Next you have a space between both of your Netdays formulas and their parenthesis.

=IF(ISBLANK(Release@row), NETDAYS(Admit@row,[Date Today]@row), NETDAYS(Admit@row,Release@row))

 

You aren't going to achieve the same results as your excel formula as days360 in excel basically means that excel considers each month to have 30 days.

Thank you so much for the tips, but it is still #UNPARSEABLE

L_123

Do you have the columns formatted as date type?

TT@CO

Yes, I do.  The formula works if I don't use IF

Oh, I got it to work, THANK YOU!!!

HI there,

I was trying to replicate this formula as I have a similar situation, but can't seem to get it to work.

I'm looking for the # days a role is open (from our Review Date)- the two scenarios for an end date:

1. the role was filled and the filled date is our end date
2. the role is still open and the end date should record as "today"

any help on the formula would be great!

thanks!

Hi @Sarah_Ko

You'll want an IF statement to check and see if the End Date is filled in or not. If it is, you can find the days between the two dates. If it's blank, then we can find the days from the Review Date to Today using the TODAY function.

Try something like this:

=IF([End Date]@row <> "", NETDAYS([Review Date]@row, [End Date]@row), NETDAYS([Review Date]@row, TODAY())

Cheers!
