Hi.

I have a spreadsheet with the following layout:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]
[/TD]
[TD]H[/TD]
[TD]I[/TD]
[TD]J[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Due date[/TD]
[TD]Today[/TD]
[TD]
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]15/11/2019[/TD]
[TD]=TODAY()<strike></strike>
[/TD]
[TD]Progress bar needed[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]6[/TD]
[TD]24/12/2019[/TD]
[TD]=TODAY()<strike></strike>
[/TD]
[TD]
Progress bar needed
<strike></strike>[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
<strike></strike>

1. What formula do I need in J5 and J6
2. What CF do I need in J5 and J6

Progress bar would show how much time the person had used - they could then compare this to the % progress they enter elsewhere on the sheet to see if they look on track based on the time remaining to complete the item.

Thank you.

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
You also need the start date so you can get a percentage time used with a formula like: (DueDate-Now)/(DueDate-StartDate). Then format that cell using DataBars.
