Count Days until Completion

[Pat]

Is there a way to count days (with a date enter in Start Column) until
"Completed" or "Cancel" is entered in my Status Column?

Right now, it is calculating on the Start and Completion Date. If the
completion date is blank - I receive wrong date in the duration column.

Start Date: 4/1/10
Completion Date: 4/5/10
Status: Completed
Duration: 4

Let's say your stuff is in A1:B4 with labels in A;
In B4 to compute duration we could use any of these
A) =IF(B2>0, (B2-B1),"") or=IF(B2, (B2-B1),"") since a positive value in
B2 will be treated as TRUE
B) =IF(OR(B3="Completed",B3="Cancel"), B2-B1, "")
C) =IF(LEFT(B3)="C",B2-B1,"")

If the start date is in A1 the completed Dated in B1 in C1 put

=IF(OR(B1="",B1="cancel"),"",B1-A1)

and format C1 as a number
