Hi, im new to excel 2007. I have clues, but no ideas. lol. i hope somebody knows what to do here. I am making a job application search log and in one column i have 'date resume submitted' where all i put is the date of the day i apply somewhere. in the column just next to it i have 'days out' whereas i have a DATEIF code which displays year, month day of how long its been since i faxed/emailed/communicated with the potential employer. currently i have a formula that once i put the date into the j column(date resume submitted), it will automatically start calculating ages. So lets say the next day or even 2 weeks later, i enter this worksheet, it will tell me exactly how many days or months it has been since the date i applied for that company. heres my dilemma. everytime i place a new job into this worksheet, i have to tell the 'days out' DATEIF formula exactly where the date is sitting. its awfully annoying. i cant figure out how to just formulatize the entire column to automatically look for a date just one column over. argh
Here is a few of what formula i am currently using and any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you.
Jeff
=DATEDIF(J6,NOW(),"y")&" Y, "& DATEDIF(J6,NOW(),"ym")&
" M, " & DATEDIF(J6,NOW(),"md") & " D"
-whereas J6 would be where i put the date and k6 would be where it would display (0Y,0M,5D)(for 5 days since i applied for this job).
now what happens next time i want to apply for a job going down one row..
on J7 i put in a date and then i have to manually enter my automatic formula to change J6 TO J7. argh!! please help me!!!?!!
ive uploaded a copy of the blank worksheet in case anybody wants to look at it.
