I am trying to get this formula (in column F to calculate the time in role, but with multiple conditions. My formula currently is:

=IF(G5="","",IFERROR(DATEDIF(G5,$I$1,"y")&" yrs "&DATEDIF(G5,$I$1,"ym")&" mos",""))

Note: the current date is a hidden cell that is locked in the formula because that date will just be "today's date"

What I am trying to do is all of the above, but ALSO add in that if column D is "N/A" then to use the dates from column K and the "current date" to calculate the time in current role. PLEASE HELP.

When I add in that nested formula, it keeps telling me I have too many arguments. :(

Tried this and no luck:

=IF(G5="","",IF(G5="N/A",DATEDIF(G5,$I$1,"y")&" yrs "&DATEDIF(G5,$I$1,"ym")&" mos"), IFERROR(DATEDIF(G5,$I$1,"y")&" yrs "&DATEDIF(G5,$I$1,"ym")&" mos",""))

So CONFUSED.

Essentially, I want the formula to give me the current time in role, but if column D is blank, just to leave it blank, and if column D is "N/A" then to use the date in column K instead of the current date I am using

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Your formula & image don't match up, so this is based on the image
Excel Formula:
=IF(D5="","",IFERROR(DATEDIF(IF(D5="N/A",K5,D5),$I$1,"y")&" yrs "&DATEDIF(IF(D5="N/A",K5,D5),$I$1,"ym")&" mos",""))
