Hi,
I have a feeling that I should be using "@cell" or "@row" in a formula to make less calculations. Can anyone shed light on a better formula than the one I have started? Basically trying to determine if a date falls between two other dates through a range (i.e. find out which year/quarter that a specific dates falls within). Screenshot:
Hi Derek,
Can you maybe share the formula/sheet(s)? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Best,

Does this screenshot help which shows the column headings?
I figured out a work around that made it a bit easier for determining the year & month and for which quarter it falls into; and then added a "Q" to make the cell read the year and quarter (like 2016 Q2).
=YEAR([Lease Date]24) + " " + "Q" + (IF(AND(MONTH([Lease Date]24) > 0, MONTH([Lease Date]24) < 4), 1, IF(AND(MONTH([Lease Date]24) > 3, MONTH([Lease Date]24) < 7), 2, IF(AND(MONTH([Lease Date]24) > 6, MONTH([Lease Date]24) < 10), 3, IF(AND(MONTH([Lease Date]24) > 9, MONTH([Lease Date]24) < 13), 4)))))
Nice work!
If the row with the formula would be on the same row as most cells that you reference, I'd also recommend using the @row function because it makes it easier to work with and takes fewer resources.
Something like this:
=YEAR([Lease Date]@row) + " " + "Q" + (IF(AND(MONTH([Lease Date]@row) > 0, MONTH([Lease Date]@row) < 4), 1, IF(AND(MONTH([Lease Date]@row) > 3, MONTH([Lease Date]@row) < 7), 2, IF(AND(MONTH([Lease Date]@row) > 6, MONTH([Lease Date]@row) < 10), 3, IF(AND(MONTH([Lease Date]@row) > 9, MONTH([Lease Date]@row) < 13), 4)))=YEAR([Lease Date]@row) + " " + "Q" + (IF(AND(MONTH([Lease Date]@row) > 0, MONTH([Lease Date]@row) < 4), 1, IF(AND(MONTH([Lease Date]@row) > 3, MONTH([Lease Date]@row) < 7), 2, IF(AND(MONTH([Lease Date]@row) > 6, MONTH([Lease Date]@row) < 10), 3, IF(AND(MONTH([Lease Date]@row) > 9, MONTH([Lease Date]@row) < 13), 4)))
You can also increase efficiency by leveraging the fact that a nested IF will stop at it's first true value. If it makes it further into the formula, then all previous statements must be false. You can also combine the space and the Q.
So the first IF would be less than or equal to 3. The second IF could just be less than or equal to 6 because by default it must be greater than 3 to make it this far. So on and so forth.
.
=YEAR([Lease Date]@row) + " Q" + IF(MONTH([Lease Date]@row) <= 3, 1, IF(MONTH([Lease Date]@row) <= 6, 2, IF(MONTH([Lease Date]@row) <= 9, 3, 4)))
I've created a dashboard with multiple graphs using data from the same report. I have added the report to the dashboard as well and set up the filter for use in the dashboard. Is this filter transferable to the graphs as well, given i can filter the report in the dashboard?
Dear Community, Can you please advise? I have a sheet where among other columns I have a column listing contacts "Champions" (multiple per cell) the other columns are for example: Countries (a list of 72) The list of Projects (approx 15) - I can add to that sheet, or I can create in a Helper Sheet. I haven't done that yet…
Looking for assistance again, I want to bring in the % complete from the Production sheet to the Schedule sheet, but once the % complete is 100 the data is moved to another sheet, so I would like to reference to check 1 sheet for percent complete and if it is not there check the second sheet. Schedule sheet: Pick Up Date…
