    Formula to calculate progress between two dates with start date greater than today

    Hello, I'm using the following formula to calculate the progress between two dates. =(DATEDIF(F9,TODAY(),"d")+1)/(DATEDIF(F9,G9,"d")+1) F9 is the Start Date and G9 is the End Date. However, this formula returns a #NUM error if the Start Date is greater than today. Does anyone know whether a modification to this formula using the IFERROR function to return a blank or 0% would work or if is there any other workaround? Thanks!!!

    Welcome to the forum.

    What did you try? Excel can't handle negative time differences, so you always have to work round them.

    Will this serve your purposes?

    =IFERROR((DATEDIF(F9,TODAY(),"d")+1)/(DATEDIF(F9,G9,"d")+1),0)

    or:

    =IFERROR((DATEDIF(F9,TODAY(),"d")+1)/(DATEDIF(F9,G9,"d")+1),"")

    The other option is to start with a test:

    =IF(F9>TODAY(),value_if_true,your_formula)

    Thank you the following formula worked perfectly!

    =IFERROR((DATEDIF(F9,TODAY(),"d")+1)/(DATEDIF(F9,G9,"d")+1),0)
