Help needed formulating an IF function and WORKDAYS formula

**tiger6115** · 03-26-2013, 11:47 AM

I am working on a spreadsheet where it calculates the number of days a form is overdue. I have two types of forms "Form 8" which has 10 working days to process and a "Form 11" which has 14 working days to process. Currently i have the spreadsheet setup as follows
Forms(B column)|Date of Injury(G column)|Date Received (I Column)|Due Date (K Column)|Days Past Due (L Column)|Resolved (M column)|

I would need for (K column) to provide the due date according to the form type entered in (B column) and the starting date from (G column). I would also like it to be blank if nothing is entered in the (B Column). I have been trying this formula which works for the most part:

=IF(B2="Form 8",WORKDAY(G2,10,Holidays!A:A),IF(B2="Form 11",WORKDAY(G2,14,Holidays!A:A), IF(ISBLANK(B2),"")))

the second part to the problem is to have a formula in the (L Column) total up the number of days they are past due according to the due date in (K column)and the date received in (I column) and to have the cells remain blank until something is in (K column).

I feel i'm close but know there's an easier way and have issues with the formatting of the formula (at least that's what excel tells me...Constantly.)

Thank you in advance. Any help or direction is much appreciated.

Try this taking the assumption of only 3 possible entries in B2 (Form 8, Form 10, Left Blank)

=IF(B2="","",WORKDAY(G2,IF(B2="Form 8",10,14),Holidays!A:A))

WOW, that simplified it and it works great. thank you so much. I was able to figure out the second part myself. Thanks again.
