Apply a formula based on whether a cell is blank or has a date

NLJ · #1 09-16-2021, 02:08 PM

I'm trying to create a formula that will allow me to use the =NETWORKINGDAYS(start, end)-1 formula if a cell contains a data or the =TODAY()-cell if the cell is blank, but I can not figure it out. I'm trying the IF statement, but I know I've got errors. Here is what I've tried =IF(X2=" ",[NETWORKINGDAYS(N2,X2)-1],IF[X2=<>" ",[TODAY()-N2]).

Each formula works separately, but I can't figure out how to combine these to use the formula applicable to being either blank or not blank
.

Any advice, it's been quite a while since I've done something like this.

Thanks

An uploaded sample might help, but based on your description, try...

=IF(N(X2),NETWORKDAYS(N2,X2)-1,IF(X2="",TODAY()-N2,""))

Maybe something like (on fly)

Code:

=NETWORKINGDAYS(N2, IF(X2="",TODAY(),X2))-1

Is NETWORKINGDAYS a new function in Excel? Can't seem to find any information??

I think OP did mean NETWORKDAYS!
A good eye to catch this! I didn't think to check spelling!
