iferror and today function

Hi, I'm trying to use both functional ions to calculate duration in a project tracker. My formula is:
=iferror(cell b-a,today()-cell a)
Reason it's done this way is because i would like a count of the days if there is no completion date and will calculate from today's date minus the start date.

    Lizzy2320 Perhaps something like this:

    =IF(ISBLANK(B1),TODAY()-A1,B1-A1)

    Using IFERROR makes no sense as there will not be an error. Just a TRUE or a FALSE. This formula will check if B is empty. If so, todays date, minus A, otherwise B minus A.
