Hello all,

I am working on a task tracking spreadsheet for our team.

I want to come up with a formula to calculate how many days overdue a task is (column J), while taking in consideration that: the original due date (column G), that sometimes we will need to update that due date (column H), and once the task is completed the completion date is entered in column K.

Attached is a screenshot of the template (mock data). Would appreciate any help on this.

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Hi, firstly welcome to the forum.

Secondly, its really worthwhile getting the xl2bb addin for Excel as it allows you to export to the forum very easily and makes the job easier for everyone else, (see link above) (apologies though as I haven't used it because I'm on a work computer!).

Finally, the formula I used in the table below is
Excel Formula:
=IF(K4="",TODAY(),K4)-IF(H4="",G4,H4)
, which if adapted to:
Excel Formula:
=NETWORKDAYS(IF(H4="",G4,H4),IF(K4="",TODAY(),K4))
gives similar results but takes into account weekends. These things can get horribly complex and the results between the two are slightly different.
