Hi all!

Column E = Date Opened
Column F = Date Closed
Column O = Difference in days

The above is fine...

Here's my problem...

Ex.
Cell E5 = 04/02/2002
Cell F5 = EMPTY or ""

I would like to display the days opened in
Cell O5

Meaning Today() - F5

The formula I am trying to use is giving me the #NAME?

=IF(AND(val(E5)<>0,val(F5)=0),NOW()-E5,F5-E5)

If E5 contains a date and F5 does not contain a date then formula needs to return the difference in days between Now - E5

Thanks for the help!

Tom

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
val is not Excel function (if you didnot do it in a module), just remove them, also you dont need a function like val there. Try using this:

=IF(AND(E5<>0,F5=0),TODAY()-E5,F5-E5)

You may need something like

=IF(AND(E5>0,F5=0),E5-TODAY(),F5-E5)
