Flag if date range across weekend

Paolo Mauro

Dear Smartsheet, first, great product and I have been able to learn alot on this forum....however

I am a little stuck with a function/formula. I have a list of tests which is dynamic and changes frequently due to predecessors.

I would like to be able to Flag column "Weekend Run" if the test date range occurs over a weekend AND if "Test Type = Endurance".

I have tried some combination of index/collect and countifs/range statements but no luck, I would really appreciate some help

Many thanks

Hi @Paolo Mauro

Hope you are fine, please try the following formula and convert it to column formula:( weekend is Saturday & Sunday ) and 5

=IF(AND(Duration@row >= 6, [Test Type]@row = "Endurance"), 1, IF(AND(Duration@row < 6, [Test Type]@row = "Endurance", OR(WEEKDAY(Finish@row) = 7, WEEKDAY(Finish@row) = 1)), 1))

the following screenshot show the result

Hi Bassam, 2 times WOW 1) works perfect 2) super fast response, fantastic!!

2nd step, I would like to populate a 2nd sheet which would then show all "weekend" tests from different sheets with only the 2 days (Saturday/Sunday) where weekend run flagged. If a test extends over 3 weekends, then I would want to have 3 different rows, each row with the 2 days Sat/Sun...then I can assign these individual weekends to users. Does this 2nd step also have a slick solution?

Many thanks again, Paolo
