Formula to return number of days between two columns, the cells in the columns may have dates populated, or could be blank, or one column may populated and not the other. So of course if both are populated with dates no problem it returns a count. I need if the one column has a date but the other does not then return a count of days till today's date.

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Will there always be a start date, and may not always be an end date? This should work =IF(B1>0,B1-A1,TODAY()-A1)

If either column may have a blank date then try: =IF(AND(B1>0,A1>0),B1-A1,IF(B1=0,TODAY()-A1,IF(A1=0,TODAY()-B1,0)))

You could also use this

C2=IF(B2="",Networkdays(A2,Today()),networkdays(A2,B2)

This would take care of any holidays.

Also you could you use
C2=if(B2="",Days360(A2,Today()),Days360(A2,B2))
