Formula Issues

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to enter the formula =NETDAYS([Date Submitted]294, [Pre-Site Survey Request Date]294). I receive an amount as long as there is a date in the columns. However, if one of the cells is blank I receive the #INVALID DATA TYPE error. How can I get the =NETDAYS to return a zero if one of the cells is blank.

Hi Beth,

You can wrap that formula in an IFERROR function like this:

=IFERROR(NETDAYS([Date Submitted]294, [Pre-Site Survey Request Date]294), 0)

You can also replace the 0 with a text string in quotations... "Date Missing" or something like that to prompt the entry of date if you wanted to.

Showing "stacked" data / Statuses of items by swimlane
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
