Can anyone suggest a formula to return the earliest and latest date within a child column?
for the earliest date range you can use = MIN ([xx] 1 : [xxx] 19.
Where the XX is your starting position and XXX is you ending position, of course the row numbers will vary to what you need
I believe using the word LARGE instead of MIN will give the most recent date.
Hope this helps.
That works for a range - thanks!
Any idea how to constrain the search just to a cell's children?
I'm glad the range worked. I'm not sure about a cell's children. Would it be possible to show me an example that's similar or if not too private part of the sheet you are working in?
=MIN(CHILDREN([Date Column Name]@row))
=MAX(CHILDREN([Date Column Name]@row))
If you are putting the formula in the same column as the children you are referencing, then you wouldn't even have to specify a cell.
=MIN(CHILDREN())
=MAX(CHILDREN())
That worked, thanks!
Happy to help.
How to return the latest Children date only if all the Children are populated with dates? I tried this, but did not work.
=IF(CHILDREN() <> "", MAX(CHILDREN(), ""))
Anyway we can make this view only for security purposes? We would like to prevent users from sending responses to other users by accident.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
