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)
How can I delete old sheets I no longer use from my account?
I'm trying to display a task progress chart showing "complete", "late", and "not complete" in my dashboard and for some reason the chart will display as a column chart but it won't display as a donut chart even though I'm referencing the same report. I'd prefer to display as a donut chart as I think it looks better and is…
Hello, I am trying to create a chart widget in my dashboard, but I keep getting "Selected data cannot be charted. Please select a new range." error. The report I am using is already summarized in numeric value. What is funny is I have report that I created a chart widget in another dashboard, and when I use that same…
