Need to calculate a 3-day window for responses

Answers

  • I am having a tough time with this. I have 3 columns: Date Submitted, Date Answered, Days Between.

    I need to calculate a 3-day window for responses. As long as the response date is within 3 working days, it is on time. Anything after that is late.

    When I use this function and change the 0 to 3, any date I enter is shown as late, even if it is the very next calendar day.

    Date Submitted = 5/27/2021

    Date Answered = 5/28/2021

    Days Between = 1 Day Late

    Hi @Dan Eshleman

    I hope you're well and safe!

    What's the formula you're using?

    Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
