date related formula

peter65516

Hi

I am trying to create a formula to show the number of units due in the next period of time e.g. 7 days, 14 days, 21 days etc. I have a due date column and a Units column. I actually have several unit columns, but if I can get help with the formula for one, I can easily create the others.

Kind Regards

Peter

Hi @peter65516

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=SUMIFS([Hoggets - Number]:[Hoggets - Number], [Preferred Start Date]:[Preferred Start Date], < (TODAY() + 8)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Hi Peter, you can use something like this to sum the units if the due date is less than today plus X days.

= SUMIFS(Units:Units, [Due Date]:[Due Date], <(TODAY() + 8))

Is that what you were looking for?

I would add some helper columns for 7 days, 14 days, 21 days date. I just did a formula in the helper column to get 7 days from today. =TODAY(7) then in the units needed column I used a sumif formula. =SUMIF([Due Date]:[Due Date], [helper column]@row, Units:Units)

Note I did try just putting in the Today(7) formula without the helper column and kept getting an error. Tried it both with and without the Date formula associated.

Hi Ryan, I tried the formula you suggested but no luck. Here is a screenshot of the actual sheet that I am working on with my effort copying your suggestion.
