Thanks for the reply however not quite what I am after. I have the date column and then a text column which would contain different values, such as "Hold", "Action", "Reply" etc.
If the text colum contains the word "Hold" then in the 3rd column give me the date diff between the date column and today. If it is any other word then give me NULL.
