Inconsistent Formula Function (seemingly, anyway)

Ben Donahue

I wrote a formula to calculate the number of days until a task is due. It works perfectly most of the time, but, on some rows, it doers not. Below are the actual copied and pasted formulas from the cells that say "OVER-DUE" and "-2, referenced from the screenshot:

=IF([Task Total Hours]26 = 0, "", IF(Finish23 < TODAY(), "OVER-DUE", IF(Finish26 = TODAY(), "DUE TODAY", NETWORKDAY(TODAY(), Finish26))))

=IF([Task Total Hours]27 = 0, "", IF(Finish24 < TODAY(), "OVER-DUE", IF(Finish27 = TODAY(), "DUE TODAY", NETWORKDAY(TODAY(), Finish27))))

To me, it looks like I should get the exact same result from each, given that [Task Total Hours] is not equal to 0 in either case and Finish is the same value in both cases. What am I not seeing?

Thank you for your time and help.

Hi Ben,

Is the formula supposed to look at the cells of other rows and not the current one it's on?

Have a fantastic day!

Do you really want to point to cell in row 23 bolded below rather than 26?

=IF([Task Total Hours]26 = 0, "", IF(Finish23 < TODAY(), "OVER-DUE", IF(Finish26 = TODAY(), "DUE TODAY", NETWORKDAY(TODAY(), Finish26))))

Andrée, Chak,

No, no I do not. Thank you for pointing that out. Typical noob mistake, d'oh!

Thanks for the help!
