#INVALID DATA TYPE

Hi, I am using the following formula that calculates the # of days between a date field and TODAY(). I have an issue if there is no date in the field and giving an #Invalid Data Type error. I would like it to either be blank or if possible to say "Please provide a Date"

Formula

=NETWORKDAYS([Lease Stage Date Changed]1, TODAY())

Thanks for your help in advance

Hi Cathy,

This should be able to be solved with an IFERROR formula.

IFERROR produces a value (your original formula) as the first option and if it is blank, it will return a second value.

Try this formula:

=IFERROR(NETWORKDAYS(date2, TODAY()), " ")

I have put your original formula in bold. This should solve the problem-- hope it helps!
