  37. how can i create A New Sheet In a single excel file

  38. Hi, Im hoping someone may be able to help me with this.
    Currently I have these columns:
    C D E
    2 Started Ended Days
    3 08/07/2016 15/07/2016 7 (=DAYS(D3,C3)
    4 08/07/2016 17 (=TODAY()-C4)
    I have a formula in another square to count the number of completed investigations that were completed in less or equal to 28 days - =COUNTIFS(E3:E4,"<=28")
    However, I only want the formula to count those investigations that have been completed, so essentially only where the cells in column D is not blank, it has a date. This will then allow me to show current investigations and time taken to date, plus a count of completed investigations based on meeting KPI's.
    Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    For me what I am working on is simple; 1 sheet has all my menu items with the before and after taxes, mark up 30%, 32%, menu price with g.s.t. and price without g.s.t.
    2nd sheet has stock with price/numbers i.e. Carrots: 10#; 8.99$, 1 # cost x, 1 oz costs X
    3rd sheet has all and I mean all recipe.
    Simply put, I would like to enter i.e. cost of 1 # of carrots (from sheet 2 to sheet 3) into my recipe on sheet 2. Then the end cost (bottom line) import it into Sheet 1 under say Soup du jour. Just that simple.
