I have charts to show progress by week to date, month to date, and year to date. I reference another sheet to indicate the date range for each chart. Is there a way to automate my reference sheet so I don't have to change the dates manually?
if you want to show the current period I recommend using a helper column then using that as criteria in your formulas
if(weeknumber([date ref]@row) = weeknumber(today()),1,if(month([date ref]@row)= month(today()),2,if(year([date ref]@row) = year(today()),3)))
then in your criteria you can use something like
current year
[Helper C]1 >0
Current month
[Helper C]1 < 3
Current Week
[Helper C]1 = 1
This is also nice for filtering data. I often use a next period helper column to quickly navigate my larger sheets.
Thanks!
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
