I am trying to write a date range formula with an IF AND statement (I think).
I need to check a box if [Previous date] is in a specific date range.
It should look something like this:
=IF(AND([Previous date]@row <= DATE(2019, 1, 31), [Previous date]@row >= DATE(2019, 1, 1)), 1, 0)
This one will flag all dates in January 2019. You'll need to adjust the dates manually. The 1 and 0 at the end of the formula turn the checkbox on and off.
When you only have two results (checked or unchecked), you really only need to specify what changes the default of unchecked to checked. You could leave the 0 off of the end of the formula and it will still work the same way. (Just FYI).
.
A few additional things to keep in mind that may or may not make things a little easier for you...
To help with having to manually adjust dates within a formula (if you're anything like me you stand a good chance of a typo or fat fingering something haha), you could reference 3 (or 6) different cells depending on the type of breakdown you are looking for. Something along the lines of (column headers are bold)...
Helper Start End
Year
Month
Day
You could then use (assuming the Year row is row 1)
=DATE(Start$1, Start$2, Start$3)
This gives you the ability to edit your dates without having to edit your formula. If you are looking for weekly, monthly or yearly counts you could use
=IF(WEEKNUMBER([Previous Date]@row) = *********, 1)
In the section of ********* you have a few options. You could enter a specific number, WEEKNUMBER(a cell reference that would contain a number), or WEEKNUMBER(a date using the DATE function which could also be manual entry or cell references).
=IF(MONTH([Previous Date]@row) = ************, 1)
=IF(YEAR([Previous Date]@row) = ***********, 1)
=IF(AND(YEAR([Previous Date]@row) = **********, MONTH([Previous Date]@row) = **********), 1)
Hello, smarter friends: I'm trying to learn how to utilize automations to move certain rows to new sheets in order to explore if my larger/longer ranging goal is possible. Where I'm Currently Stuck: I can't even figure out how to create functional auto to send a row to a basic sheet. That is my immediate need. But if…
I'm having issues accessing Smartsheet in both the desktop app and web browser and continually get the below error message…I need to refresh multiple times to get it to work. And sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt:
This just started today… For some reason, I can no longer edit fields in my Smartsheet. One I'm the owner of. I do see an icon in the upper right that says "Comment Only", but can't figure out how to change it. Here a screenshot of what I am seeing:
