join collect several variables

john munro

From a metrics sheet I am looking at another sheet with a formula which gathers the docket number if the date is before today and it returns the result perfectly. 12234, 67899, 98765

=JOIN(COLLECT({Docket}, {DueDate}, <TODAY()), ", ")

I am trying to modify this formula to return 2 variables (docket + Client) when date is before today but cant figure it out. looking for 12234_honda, 34567_Acme, 56789_Ford

=JOIN(COLLECT({Docket},{Client}, {DueDate}, <TODAY()), ", ") or

=JOIN(COLLECT({Docket}+{Client}, {DueDate}, <TODAY()), ", ")

Fortunately this can be converted to a column formula, so really you should just have to create the column, enter the formula once, then convert to a column formula and move on to the next sheet.

You would need to create the base text strings on the source sheet in a new column.

=Docket@row + "_" + Client@row

Then you can reference this new column on the source sheet in your JOIN/COLLECT.

Thanks Paul, dang, i was trying to avoid this as there are a multitude of trackers that I pull from. I will proceed with this method instead. Thanks for your help on this.
