    How to count network days between two dates, using todays date where second date is blank?

    Hi

    I am looking to create a formula that will count the number of work days (network days) between two dates and to use today's date where the second is blank.

    The intention is that I can show how old incidents are in the one cell, regardless of whether they are open or closed

    Here's the layout for what i want to achieve:

    Col A, Col B, Col C
    Row 1, Open Date, Closed Date, No.Workdays Open
    Row 2, 05-Mar-2012, 12-Mar-2012, 6
    Row 3, 16-Mar-2012 , *, 2

    *where today is the 19 March


    So far I have worked out how to use Network Days
    =NETWORKDAYS(A2,B2)

    And how to use today's date where col B is blank
    =IF(ISBLANK(B2),TODAY()-A2,B2-A2)

    But I can't seem to combine the two.

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Try:

    =NETWORKDAYS(A2,IF(B2="",TODAY(),B2))
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    hi phl8pg,

    Welcome to the forum.

    use the following formula:-
