    Formula returns blank when book returned

    My daughter is class librarian - she has todays date on sheet and day book issued - this gives her a 'days out' column - is there any way that formula can be cancelled when the book is returned? =$J$25-L28 (probably a simple change)

    Today 21/10/2014
    Book Out_____ Returned Days O/S
    A1 10/10/2014 (BLANK)_____11
    A2 09/10/2014 15/10/2014 12


    So she's wanting the 12 to show as 'Returned'

    Thanks

    Yes, it is a very simple change but it's not easy to tell you what it is without cell references, etc.

    I suggest you post a small sample workbook. With that, it will take seconds to amend the formula.
