I need to create a calculated column using the DATEDIF. The problem comes from if the item is completed before the due date it creates a negative number. This is fine except that Sharepoint view the negative number as an error. #NUM!. How can I create the calculated column to show me the negative numbers. I use these to track metrics to see if we are ahead of schedule.

Current formula being used is =DATEDIF(Due,[AF],"D")

This works in Excel: =IF(MIN(Due,[AF])=Due,DATEDIF(Due,[AF],"D"),-(DATEDIF([AF],Due,"D")))

It all depends on what kind of work you are doing. I don't see any problem with adding Content (text and images directly to production) for pages such as announcments and news articles. Adding new web parts created by devs in Visual Studio should definetly be done in a dev/test environment. Depending on the number of people involved with creating content you may or may not want to implement the Content Approval process. It also depends on who the audience is, are you publishing to the public internet or an internal site? You also need to consider the ramifications of a publishing mistake, will a typo or wrong image be a big deal, if so, you need a formal review process.

Maybe I need to back off? Thanks for any counsel you can give and / or experiences you may have had with a similar situation!
