I have a formula that automatically calculates the percentage of completion on a project between two dates (the start date and end date). The formula I chose to use is: =IFERROR(MIN((DATEDIF(D11,TODAY(),"d")+1)/(DATEDIF(D11,E11,"d")+1),100%),0). However, when column D and E are not populated Column L shows 100% complete. How do I make Column L blank if Column D and E are not both populated?

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
I am not ratifying your formula. But wrap it in an AND function:
(you don't really need DATEDIF for days).

Excel Formula:
=IF(AND(d11 = "", e11="","",IFERROR(MIN((DATEDIF(D11,TODAY(),"d")+1)/(DATEDIF(D11,E11,"d")+1),100%),0))

again, please use the xl2bb add in. I(link below, i mentioned this in your other question).

I don't understand your response but did get xl2bb to work after a bit of struggling. Please see below

I get the following error with your formula

Excel Formula:
=IF(AND(d11 = "", e11=""),"",IFERROR(MIN((DATEDIF(D11,TODAY(),"d")+1)/(DATEDIF(D11,E11,"d")+1),100%),0))

but, I think a better formula is in Post #9 of the other thread. Here it is again:
Excel Formula:
=IF(D11="","",IF(D11>Today(),0,(Today()-D11+1)/(E11-D11+1)))
