Good evening - I am looking to create an auto date that maxes based on the month (i.e. 28 days in February or 30 days in September) based on the parent row.
I originally had it by calendar year and organized by the Month as the parent, and that parent row has several values that are linked to other sheets, however, I was asked to make it a trailing 12 months based on a date.
First Step: Took the "Growth Plan Date" that is populated from another sheet and linked it here (Row 1).
Second Step: Row 3 auto-populates the first date of the month based on the Growth Plan Date, so we have a full month of data.
Third Step: I need to auto-populate the children of this month based on Row 3 Date (so row 4 would be the first day of the month, too) and then populate the rows that are listed below for the max number of days in that month.
Two Questions:
- Do I need to create a max of 31 rows for each month and build the formula to stop at the max days for the month and then have blank rows? If yes, can I create automation that deletes the rows if the date is blank or is it only clearing cells the only option?
- Does anyone have a recommended formula that populates the first day of the month and then the next day and max out for the total available days based on the month?
