hi there,
I am trying to count all dates that are on time comparing my due date column and delivery date column...
tried countifs, but it wont let me compare the whole columns...
please help.
Thanks

You'll need a helper column. In this example I'll make it a checkbox, but you can use whatever works best for you. In the checkbox column use an IF statement to compare the two dates and check the box if they are the same.
=IF([First Date Column]@row = [Second Date Column]@row, 1)
You can then use a COUNTIFS on the helper column to count your checkboxes.
=COUNTIFS([Helper Column]:[Helper Column], 1)
This was fun.
=COUNT(COLLECT(COLLECT(Start:End, Start:End, ISDATE(@cell)), COLLECT(Start:End, Start:End, ISDATE(@cell)), AND(INDEX(COLLECT(Start:End, Start:End, ISDATE(@cell)), MATCH(@cell, COLLECT(Start:End, Start:End, ISDATE(@cell)), true)) > INDEX(COLLECT(Start:End, Start:End, ISDATE(@cell)), MATCH(@cell, COLLECT(Start:End, Start:End, ISDATE(@cell)), true) + 1), MATCH(@cell, COLLECT(Start:End, Start:End, ISDATE(@cell)), true) / 2 = ROUND(MATCH(@cell, COLLECT(Start:End, Start:End, ISDATE(@cell)), true) / 2))))
Not often you get the chance to do a nested collect.
I recommend pauls solution however as mine can't handle duplicates in the dates
Also the start column has to be directly to the left of the end column or it will break
=COUNT(COLLECT(COLLECT([Due Date]:Delivered, [Due Date]:Delivered, ISDATE(@cell)), COLLECT([Due Date]:Delivered, [Due Date]:Delivered, ISDATE(@cell)), AND(INDEX(COLLECT([Due Date]:Delivered, [Due Date]:Delivered, ISDATE(@cell)), MATCH(@cell, COLLECT([Due Date]:Delivered, [Due Date]:Delivered, ISDATE(@cell)), true)) > INDEX(COLLECT([Due Date]:Delivered, [Due Date]:Delivered, ISDATE(@cell)), MATCH(@cell, COLLECT([Due Date]:Delivered, [Due Date]:Delivered, ISDATE(@cell)), true) + 1), MATCH(@cell, COLLECT([Due Date]:Delivered, [Due Date]:Delivered, ISDATE(@cell)), true) / 2 = ROUND(MATCH(@cell, COLLECT([Due Date]:Delivered, [Due Date]:Delivered, ISDATE(@cell)), true) / 2))))
Heres a copy that uses your column names
I recommend adding the helper column as well. But you should modify Paul's formula for the helper column slightly to account for dates earlier than due dates.
=IF([Delivered]@row <= [Due Date]@row, 1)
Good suggestion, Mike. Thanks. I read "on time" as "same as" and went from there.
I would also consider adding a check for blanks, because in this formula blanks will show up as as "on time".
=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(Delivered@row)), IF(Delivered@row <= [Due Date]@row, 1))
Another good suggestion. That's what I get for not plugging it in to an actual sheet for testing. Haha.
In a sheet, in the primary column (Task Name), I have multiple parent rows with all of the same child rows beneath each parent row. A simplified example is each Parent Row is a new lot number, with two associated child rows called "Date of Shipment" and Date COA". There is also a drop down Status column. I want to create…
I've rebuilt my form at least five times and for the life of me cannot figure out why it will not trigger. I've tried to test and run it several times to no avail. Any tips would be very helpful. I was able to successfully trigger once, now nothing at all for a week.
I have an automation that will send a request for an update to a supplier about a complaint. There are fields that the supplier needs to see to understand the issues. But, I would like to be able to lock those down so that the supplier cannot change the information in those fields. Is this possible? Freda
