How to make a column number not exceed another column's

Frederik Soerensen

I have a column called "Days worked", which I get using:

=IF(NETWORKDAY([Start date]@row; TODAY()) < 0; 0; NETWORKDAY([Start date]@row; TODAY()))

This ensures it won't go below 0.

I want to also make sure it doesn't exceed the number in a column called "Duration".

I tried combining the aforementioned IF with :

IF(NETWORKDAY([Start date]@row; TODAY()) > Duration@row; Duration@row; NETWORKDAY([Start date]@row; TODAY()))

This doesn't work. Does anyone know how to write it properly?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Frederik Soerensen

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF(NETWORKDAY([Start Date]@row; TODAY()) > Duration@row; 0; IF(NETWORKDAY([Start Date]@row; TODAY()) < 0; 0; NETWORKDAY([Start Date]@row; TODAY())))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Thank you for the quick answers to both questions.

It almost works perfectly.

If the current date exceed the "due date" it will revert to 0 and not to the same number as the "duration".

This is easily fixed though. Just change it from

=IF(NETWORKDAY([Start Date]@row; TODAY()) > Duration@row; 0; IF(NETWORKDAY([Start Date]@row; TODAY()) < 0; 0; NETWORKDAY([Start Date]@row; TODAY())))

=IF(NETWORKDAY([Start date]@row; TODAY()) > Duration@row; Duration@row; IF(NETWORKDAY([Start date]@row; TODAY()) < 0; 0; NETWORKDAY([Start date]@row; TODAY())))

Wrote the change if anyone else might have this same problem in the future.

Excellent!

Happy to help!

Yes, I left it as 0 because I wasn't sure what you wanted to show.
