Hi Gordon,

Depending on what you need, there are several different ways to get the number of days between dates.

You can use the Duration feature if you have set up the Project Settings for the sheet and enabled Dependencies.

You can use on of the Functions below:

Try something like.

=NETDAYS([Start Date]@row; [End Date]@row)

=NETWORKDAY([Start Date]@row; [End Date]@row)

=NETWORKDAYS([Start Date]@row; [End Date]@row)

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Hi Andree

What would one put around that function to show a zero when the dates haven't yet been selected for the function to calculate?

Thanks

Cheers

Hi Richard,

Try something like this.

=IF(OR(ISBLANK([Start Date]@row); ISBLANK([End Date]@row)); ""; NETDAYS([Start Date]@row; [End Date]@row))

The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.

=IF(OR(ISBLANK([Start Date]@row), ISBLANK([End Date]@row)), "", NETDAYS([Start Date]@row, [End Date]@row))

Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Did it work?

Hope that helps!

Best,
