Hi,
I need would like to have reports where all the result are from "this month" or "previous month" but I don't see such filters in When? Option. Can someone help me with that?
you would need to add a helper column. That is a new column with an identifying formula that will post dependent on your criteria.
=if(month(@desiredcell)=month(today()),1,if(month(@desiredcell=month(today())-1,2)
Then sort/filter the criteria with 1 being the current month in your new column and 2 being the previous month.
That's great, but what happens in january at MONTH(TODAY))-1? There is no month 0... I ask because I'm trying to get a dashboard to show a running total of items completed in the last 12 months. Currently I'm having to go and manually update the dashboards (i.e. point to the new data). I want to automate!
Nevermind -
=IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - [Column19]30 > 0, MONTH(TODAY()) - [Column19]30, MONTH(TODAY()) - [Column19]30 + 12)
where column19 contains the number of months into the past. Still working on determinig year, but updating once a year isn't so bad.
A trick to getting around that is using dates instead of months.
=date(2019, 1, 1) - 1
would return 12/31/2018
so you could use the month formula on the date
=month(date(2019,1,1)-1)
would return a 12
You can use this to fully automate your equation, though it will make it significantly more complex/long
=month(date(year(today()), month(today()),1) -1)
The formula would look something like this: (untested)
if(netdays(@desiredcell,today())>360,"",
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(today()),1,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-1),2,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-2),3,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-3),4,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-4),5,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-5),6,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-6),7,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-7),8,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-8),9,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-9),10,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-10),11,
if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-11),12,""
or collapsed:
if(netdays(@desiredcell,today())>360,"",if(month(@desiredcell)=month(today()),1,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-1),2,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-2),3,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-3),4,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-4),5,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-5),6,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-6),7,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-7),8,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-8),9,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-9),10,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-10),11,if(month(@desiredcell)=month(date(2000,month(today()),1)-11),12,""
You can find the previous months number by using =MONTH(TODAY() - DAY(TODAY()))
so this will tell you if the test cell is in the previous month. if(MONTH(TODAY() - DAY(TODAY())) = MONTH([Ship Scheduled]@row), 1, 0)
I used the following formula in a checkbox column to see if the date in my "Ship Scheduled" column is in the previous month. I added the 90 day limit to the first part of the AND statement to make sure that I am not getting false positives for dates more than 90 days in the past (e.g. 2,3,4 years ago, but the correct month)
=IF(AND(TODAY() - [Ship Scheduled]@row < 90, MONTH(TODAY() - DAY(TODAY())) = MONTH([Ship Scheduled]@row)), 1, 0)
Hello, I am trying to create a chart widget in my dashboard, but I keep getting "Selected data cannot be charted. Please select a new range." error. The report I am using is already summarized in numeric value. What is funny is I have report that I created a chart widget in another dashboard, and when I use that same…
I have a picture below for an example of this. I want to create a formula to get counts of items in "Column2", but if "Column4" states "change" I want the "Column2" count to not work and instead count what is it "Column3" in that given row. Column4 can also have several different things in it besides "good" that I want it…
I've done this a million times - create a report, separated by campus with a total $$. Then add it to a dashboard and make a graph. NOTHING is working right now when I try to do this. I get an error that the data cannot be charted. What the what? Help anyone? Is this a issue since they apparently changed something in the…
