So I need to compute the average number of days between two columns, with multiple instances of each start and end date, across multiple sheets, and only including cells that occur in a row with a matching value.

=AVERAGE(DAYS(IF(MATCH(B4,INDIRECT("'" &SHEETLIST& "'!$B3:$B300")),INDIRECT("'" &SHEETLIST& "'!$H3:$H300")),IF(MATCH(B4,INDIRECT("'" &SHEETLIST& "'!$B3:$B300")),INDIRECT("'" &SHEETLIST& "'!$E3:$E300"))))

Is where I'm at so far. SHEETLIST is the list of all sheets, looking for a match in B3:B300 of those sheets, and then comparing the distance between dates listed in H3:H300 and E3:E300 of those sheets, computing the average number of days utilizing those ranges, and returning it to a summary sheet. Column H will not always contain a date, in that case I want it to use today's date for determining time elapsed. I realize i'm getting close to the boundaries of what formulas are capable of, but my knowledge of VBS is limited. I am studying VBS, but i need to complete this workbook in a timely fashion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
So i worked out this issue by having each sheet compute date ranges individually.

Now i need to have it compute using only the oldest date of entry. For example, John Doe should compute using the 6/10 value, while Jane Doe computes using the 7/10 value. The issue I'm having is trying to get the formula to only use the oldest if more than one entry. So if John Doe had a value in 7/10 column and 6/10 column, if would use the 6/10 for computation. I've tried two variations:

=DAYS(IF($K4>0, $K4, $O$2),IF($E4>0,$E$3,IF($F$4>0,$F$3,IF($G$4>0,$G$3,IF($H$4>0, $H$3,""))))) Which works great with a single value, but doesn't account for two different dates and force the oldest date.

So then I tried:

=MAX(DAYS(IF($K9>0,$K9,$O$2),OR(IF($E9>0,$E$3,""),IF($F$9>0,$F$3,""),IF($G$9>0,$G$3,""),IF($H$9>0,$H$3,"")))) in hopes of using the largest value, which would be the oldest date range. But i can't quite get it to return anything other than #Value.

Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
