    Hi There,

     

    you can use following formula to calculate number of days passed since work Started.

     

    i am assuming start date is in column B, and End Date is in Column C

     

    enter Number of days in Column D as follow

     

    =If(C2="", Today()-B2,C2-B2)

     

    convert column format to General

     

    Explanation 

    C2=""  This part of formula will check if end date is blank, if it is blank if condition will return true and below condition will run

     

    Today()- B2 : Today() will return todays date and Start date will be substracted from Todays date.

     

    if End date is present then C2-B2 will return days passed between Start and End Date.

     

    if you dont wish to calculate days for work finished records, you can use below formula

     

    =If(C2="", Today()-B2,"")

     

    let me know if it works!

     

    Thank You
