Hi,
I need would like to have reports where all the result are from "this month" or "previous month" but I don't see such filters in When? Option. Can someone help me with that?
you would need to add a helper column. That is a new column with an identifying formula that will post dependent on your criteria.
=if(month(@desiredcell)=month(today()),1,if(month(@desiredcell=month(today())-1,2)
Then sort/filter the criteria with 1 being the current month in your new column and 2 being the previous month.
That's great, but what happens in january at MONTH(TODAY))-1? There is no month 0... I ask because I'm trying to get a dashboard to show a running total of items completed in the last 12 months. Currently I'm having to go and manually update the dashboards (i.e. point to the new data). I want to automate!
Nevermind -
=IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - [Column19]30 > 0, MONTH(TODAY()) - [Column19]30, MONTH(TODAY()) - [Column19]30 + 12)
where column19 contains the number of months into the past. Still working on determinig year, but updating once a year isn't so bad.
A trick to getting around that is using dates instead of months.
=date(2019, 1, 1) - 1
would return 12/31/2018
so you could use the month formula on the date
=month(date(2019,1,1)-1)
would return a 12
You can use this to fully automate your equation, though it will make it significantly more complex/long
=month(date(year(today()), month(today()),1) -1)
The formula would look something like this: (untested)
if(netdays(@desiredcell,today())>360,"",
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(today()),1,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-1),2,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-2),3,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-3),4,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-4),5,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-5),6,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-6),7,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-7),8,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-8),9,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-9),10,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-10),11,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-11),12,""
or collapsed:
if(netdays(@desiredcell,today())>360,"",if(month(@desiredcell)=month(today()),1,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-1),2,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-2),3,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-3),4,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-4),5,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-5),6,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-6),7,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-7),8,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-8),9,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-9),10,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-10),11,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-11),12,""
You can find the previous months number by using =MONTH(TODAY() - DAY(TODAY()))
so this will tell you if the test cell is in the previous month. if(MONTH(TODAY() - DAY(TODAY())) = MONTH([Ship Scheduled]@row), 1, 0)
I used the following formula in a checkbox column to see if the date in my "Ship Scheduled" column is in the previous month. I added the 90 day limit to the first part of the AND statement to make sure that I am not getting false positives for dates more than 90 days in the past (e.g. 2,3,4 years ago, but the correct month)
=IF(AND(TODAY() - [Ship Scheduled]@row < 90, MONTH(TODAY() - DAY(TODAY())) = MONTH([Ship Scheduled]@row)), 1, 0)
I've got a sheet set up with multiple tasks assigned to different people. When printing the sheet the comments are all listed at the bottom of the sheet rather than under the relevant tasks. Is there a setting that allows the comments to be printed under each task ?
Hi all. Hoping this is pretty basic here. I had to do a find and replace on a few numbers in a Smartsheet grid which changed them to a different "format" (not sure if thats the right word) from the others. I've since ran a Vlookup on the column, and the converted numbers come up as no match. I believe this is the same…
Hi All, I am having some challenges which I was hoping someone might be able to help me with… There is an existing Smartsheet that a project team uses to display new product introductions. As this sheet is updated in real time and I am not in that team, I can't add fields that I want to track into that sheet; however, some…
