Hi Thomas,<br />
<br />
I'm getting an error message that highlights the word &quot;ERROR&quot; in the formula and says &quot;that function not valid&quot;...<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hi Thomas,

I'm getting an error message that highlights the word "ERROR" in the formula and says "that function not valid"...

Thanks,

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am using the following DATEDIF formula to get the number of days in Column D:<br />
<br />
=IFERROR(DATEDIF(B2,C2,&quot;D&quot;<wbr />),&quot;&quot;)<br />
<br />
But sometimes there are blank cells in Column A and so it's causing errors in my calculations for those rows (1000's of days).<br />
<br />
I'd like to be able to modify the above formula to include:<br />
<br />
If A2 is blank, then D2 to be blank as well.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.
