I have a formula that is copied over multiple rows. Some of these rows don't have numbers so the formula shows #NUM. Instead of deleting the formula in those rows, is it possible to have the formula show nothing instead of #NUM? Thanks!

=DATEDIF(NOW(),F3,"d")

=IF(F3,DATEDIF(NOW(),F3,"d"),"")

or, rather,...

=IF(F3,DATEDIF(F3,TODAY(),"d"),"")

That's not giving back the same results as my formula.

How about
=IF(F3,DATEDIF(TODAY(),f3,"d"),"")
or
=IF(F3,F3-TODAY(),"")

Which one? Why wouldn't it give same results?

The syntax for DATEDIF requires that...

=DATEDIF(Date1,Date2,Specs)

where Date1 < Date2.
