Variance Column Showing 1.. Needs to be 0! Help!

Hi all - I am working on a variance formula to first.. if error make a blank... and then to secondly... calculate the number of working days between to dates. I need the variance of our "planned end" and "actual end" columns. I have the formula just about right! But it is producing a 1 instead of zero when the dates match. Any suggestions on how to fix my formula?

=IFERROR(NETWORKDAYS([Planned End]29, [Actual End]29), "")



See screenshot below.

    嗯。奇数。我得到1当两个日期s are equal and it seems to be consistent. If I go a day early I get -2. Because the formula is always adding a full day, try this one:

    =IF(NETWORKDAYS([Planned End]29, [Actual End]29) < 0, NETWORKDAYS([Planned End]29, [Actual End]29) + 1, IF(NETWORKDAYS([Planned End]29, [Actual End]29) > 0, NETWORKDAYS([Planned End]29, [Actual End]29) - 1))

    That will return a 0 result on same day or the correct negative or plus result.

    That looks like it's working! Now I need it to stay blank and not #INVALID DATA TYPE when the dates aren't inputted!

    Thanks so much Mike!

    You can wrap the whole thing in an =IFERROR functions.

    =IFERROR(IF(NETWORKDAYS([Planned End]29, [Actual End]29) < 0, NETWORKDAYS([Planned End]29, [Actual End]29) + 1, IF(NETWORKDAYS([Planned End]29, [Actual End]29) > 0, NETWORKDAYS([Planned End]29, [Actual End]29) - 1)),"")

    Yes thank you! One last thing - would I use the same formula in the parent rows? It doesn't appear to be calculating all variances below it.

    Sorry these formulas are above my knowledge. I appreciate the help.

    No, you'd need that formula in each row. but to create a summary of each one you could add =sum(children()) into the parent row and it would sum all the children or dependent tasks of the parent.

    See my screenshot for an example.

Hi @Draykov<\/a>,<\/p>

This is an easy fix - you have some brackets in the wrong place which is causing the IF statements to not be nested properly. When combining the individual IFs, the closing brackets should end up at the end of the combined statement, with a comma separating to make the false part of the IF statement, like so:<\/p>

=IF(OR(Webinar@row = \"Session 1|Afternoon\", Webinar@row = \"Session 1|Evening\"), \"08\/24\/2023\", IF(OR(Webinar@row = \"Session 2|Afternoon\", Webinar@row = \"Session 2|Evening\"), \"08\/29\/2023\", IF(OR(Webinar@row = \"Session 3|Afternoon\", Webinar@row = \"Session 3|Evening\"), \"08\/31\/2023\")))<\/p>

Give this a whirl and it should work for you - if there are still issues then post what error you're getting! 😊<\/span><\/p>"},{"commentID":389821,"body":"

Hey @Draykov<\/a>. Looks like it's just placement of parentheses! Try the below<\/p>
