Hello,

For a document at work I need to calculate the total days that we have had someone stay at our property. Something that should look like below.

RoomRoom (per person)Date inPlanned Date Out Actual Date OutTotal Nights
1511151125/09/20209/10/20207
151125/09/20209/10/2020
30230223/09/202007/10/202024/09/20201
2121212110/09/202024/09/202007/10/202014
212110/09/202024/09/202007/10/2020

So my "logic" to calculate is
IF A1 is not blank AND E1 is Blank then DATEDIF(c1,now(),"d")
Otherwise
IF A1 is not blank and E1 is not blank then DATEDIF(c1,e1(),"d)

I am really struggling to get my head around the multiple isblank or not(isblank) functions.

Current work in progress is

=IFERROR(OR(IF(ISBLANK(A1),"",(DATEDIF(A1,E1,"d"))),""),(IFERROR(IF(ISBLANK(A1),"",(DATEDIF(C21,NOW(),"d"))),"")))

Hoping there is a much easier way to do this...

Hopefully this makes enough sense as my brain is slowly losing function the more I stare at this.

Regards,

Try This

=IF(A2="","",IF((A2<>"")*(E2<>""),DATEDIF(C2,E2,"d"),DATEDIF(C2,NOW(),"d")))

But how did you get 14 in row 4..

Hello and thank you,

Fluff it looks like that has done the trick for me, I have been making it progressively more complicated for my self so it was nice to see it simple.

And thanks CA_Punit, and you are correct that was my bad should look more like the below.
