    Question Finding duration between today and the last date entered

    Hello,

    I have a row of dates and I need to find out how long it has been opened from the start date. There are 6 columns that have dates and the last column is completed. I need to count the days between the start date and today until the Completed cell is populated. That will give me the total duration of the task from start to finish

    Re: Finding duration between today and the last date entered

    You give very little actual detail on what you are working with, so see if you can work this into what you have.

    A1=Start date
    B1:F1=other dates
    G1=TODAY()

    =IF(G1="",G1-MAX(A1:E1),"Completed")
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Thumbs up Re: Finding duration between today and the last date entered

    I apologize for not being clearer.

    I will attach my file so you can see the layout. If the Completed cell doesn't have a date in it, I would like to subtract the Assigned date from Today to give me the current duration. Once the Completed cell is filled with a date, the duration counter stops and it stays the same duration since Completed has a date in it.

    Does that make sense?

    Thank You,

    See if this is what you want...
    =IF(J4="",TODAY()-B4,J4-B4)
