Calculating aging with multiple columns

Hi,

I'm having trouble with a formula in my aging spreadsheet.  I have the 3 columns below and i need aging to track in the 3rd column.  Once we submit a change order and input a date in the 1st column, i need for the 3rd column to start the aging, but once a date is entered into the 2nd column, i need the aging to stop counting.  I used an "if" statement with today() to make the aging start but i don't know how to stop it when the date is added to the 2nd column.  This is what i have so far:

 

=IF(Today()>=F2,Today()-F2)

 

Please Help......

  • Hi Steve,

     

    If you'd like to find difference in days between approval and submission dates using current date if there was no approval, when like

    =IF(G2>1,G2,TODAY()) - F2

    Above assuming you have submission date. To check if it exists or not

     

    =IF(F2>1, F(G2>1,G2,TODAY()) - F2, "")

    To make column calculatable better to use 0 instead of "" and apply custom format like 0;0;;@ to hide zeroes.
