I am trying to write a date range formula with an IF AND statement (I think).
I need to check a box if [Previous date] is in a specific date range.
It should look something like this:
=IF(AND([Previous date]@row <= DATE(2019, 1, 31), [Previous date]@row >= DATE(2019, 1, 1)), 1, 0)
This one will flag all dates in January 2019. You'll need to adjust the dates manually. The 1 and 0 at the end of the formula turn the checkbox on and off.
When you only have two results (checked or unchecked), you really only need to specify what changes the default of unchecked to checked. You could leave the 0 off of the end of the formula and it will still work the same way. (Just FYI).
.
A few additional things to keep in mind that may or may not make things a little easier for you...
To help with having to manually adjust dates within a formula (if you're anything like me you stand a good chance of a typo or fat fingering something haha), you could reference 3 (or 6) different cells depending on the type of breakdown you are looking for. Something along the lines of (column headers are bold)...
Helper Start End
Year
Month
Day
You could then use (assuming the Year row is row 1)
=DATE(Start$1, Start$2, Start$3)
This gives you the ability to edit your dates without having to edit your formula. If you are looking for weekly, monthly or yearly counts you could use
=IF(WEEKNUMBER([Previous Date]@row) = *********, 1)
In the section of ********* you have a few options. You could enter a specific number, WEEKNUMBER(a cell reference that would contain a number), or WEEKNUMBER(a date using the DATE function which could also be manual entry or cell references).
=IF(MONTH([Previous Date]@row) = ************, 1)
=IF(YEAR([Previous Date]@row) = ***********, 1)
=IF(AND(YEAR([Previous Date]@row) = **********, MONTH([Previous Date]@row) = **********), 1)
First time posting, long time fan of SmartSheet. 🥰 We have a group of people that need to get tagged consistently in comments for email notifications, and we want to cut down on having to "tag" in the same conversation/comments section. My question is: What determines a conversation that "I am following", where I am not…
I am building a form with a repeating feature for study drugs. The form includes 10 questions about the first drug, with branching logic in 2 of those questions. If the answer is YES, a text field appears for more information. This works fine for the first drug. The last question asks if there is another drug. If the…
I have a sheet that already has a "Latest Comment" column, and I can easily pull the row-level comments onto a report using this column. I take this report and use it as a dashboard widget so people can see the latest comments from the sheet all together. However, this sheet will also have sheet-level comments. Is there a…
