Can anyone suggest a formula to return the earliest and latest date within a child column?
for the earliest date range you can use = MIN ([xx] 1 : [xxx] 19.
Where the XX is your starting position and XXX is you ending position, of course the row numbers will vary to what you need
I believe using the word LARGE instead of MIN will give the most recent date.
Hope this helps.
That works for a range - thanks!
Any idea how to constrain the search just to a cell's children?
I'm glad the range worked. I'm not sure about a cell's children. Would it be possible to show me an example that's similar or if not too private part of the sheet you are working in?
=MIN(CHILDREN([Date Column Name]@row))
=MAX(CHILDREN([Date Column Name]@row))
If you are putting the formula in the same column as the children you are referencing, then you wouldn't even have to specify a cell.
=MIN(CHILDREN())
=MAX(CHILDREN())
That worked, thanks!
Happy to help.
How to return the latest Children date only if all the Children are populated with dates? I tried this, but did not work.
=IF(CHILDREN() <> "", MAX(CHILDREN(), ""))

We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.

Dropdown List columns remain editable. Selecting a new dropdown value and…
