Help on Formula for: Savings over time calculation

Hi again,

I am new on formulas and been conducting some tests on my project tracker. I wanted to get the monthly savings on projects with completed status. I always get a zero even if there's a value on my savings column.

Please let me know which part of the formula is incorrect and what is the best formula should I use if I want to calculate savings for each month?

Many thanks in advance,

Grace

Hi Grace

Your formula is absolutely correct. The catch is the [Column22] isnt in Date format.

Create another column with Edit column properties > Current type Date, Enter the date 31/01/2018 and select it. It should work fine.

Hi Glen,

Thank you so much for the response. It did work! Just to add in the question, is there another formula that I can use or can I put in the formula a range of dates for example from 1st to 31st of January 2018 instead of writing the last date of each month on different cells?

example: =SUMIFS([Negotiated/Potential Savings]:[Negotiated/Potential Savings], [Actual End Date]:[Actual End Date], <=01/01/2018 to 31/01/2018, Status:Status, "complete")

I know the date range I provided above is incorrect but just to set an example. I only want to calculate the savings for each month but not to sum the previous savings to the current month.

Many thanks,

Grace

Hi all, and thanks in advance! I wanted to know if there was any way to create "padding" in Smartsheet. Basically I have account numbers, and a handful are still 2-digit, so they appear as TDL-17, TDL-67, etc. Most of the accounts are 3-digit numbers like TDL-180. I want something that will recognize whether it is 2 or 3…

Check box for date in previous month
Hello, I have the formula to check a box for line items with the current month. =IF(AND(YEAR(Date@row ) = YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(Date@row ) = MONTH(TODAY())), 1, 0) Trying to set up a report for all items with the previous month (i.e. 1 month prior to current). How can I modify to check the box?
