Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help with the following: I have a column for Due Date, Finish Date, Wait Start and Wait End. What I'd like to do is not punish people for things being overdue if there was a wait time out of their control. I'm not sure what formula to use to basically remove the wait dates out.
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
can you post a sample of your data

so is this if any wait time is entered then ignore that
and then how do you flag that as an issue - is there another column with status - Punish ?

how do you flag overdue ??? , as you dont seem to have an expected finish date or is there and SLA time that you just add

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone
