Hello,
If someone could assist me please that knows how.
I am trying to get the total days calculated automatically between two dates.
i.e 1st Sept 2019 to 15th Jan 2020 - How fo I get the total days calculated.
Do let me know please.
Thank you
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)

Excellent!
Happy to help!
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?

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?

Anyway we can make this view only for security purposes? We would like to prevent users from sending responses to other users by accident.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
