Time Taken calculation. Start date, Completion Date & No Completion Date

I need work out how many of my tasks which all have a start date, have no completion date and how long each one has been outstanding (in days).

 

Can anyone help with this calculation?

Hi @lennox25 

Create a new calculated column in the table:

Days Outstanding =
IF(
    ISBLANK([EndDate])
    ,DATEDIFF([StartDate],TODAY(),DAY)
    ,BLANK()
)

Use the ID of your items with this in a visual and filter to only items with a BLANK completion date:
