I have a spreadsheet that an audit of all print job.
The issue is there isn't a way to just see the total of print jobs for the day. That's all my client needs, they don't want to see everything else.
I've found it challenging to work with the Date field because it also has a time stamp.
In another spreadsheet I called the date column and used formula =INT(O2) to strip off the time stamp. Then used =UNIQUE(N2:N5000) to consolidate all the dates down to just one row per day.
But I have no idea how to group 'Total Printed Pages' by 'Date', then get the sum of each group.

I work for an organization and I am working on a way to better organize our part numbers that have expiration dates. I've started off by making an Excel sheet that has the part number multiple times based on the expiration date and then had the matching quantities of that expiration date. What im trying to do is what you always do in life, if something is going to go bad use up the one that will expire first. But now trying to do this in an excel table automatically. This is my Ex: my master log where they will put in the Part#, expiration date, and quantity, this is where most info will be pulled from.
I am now on to taking away our companies forecasted usage of these parts away from these quantities to show an overall usage over the months and pairing the intersecting expiration dates. I’ve got the Usage by using a pivot table to total these part numbers quantities. And I’ve made a chart mapping the overall usage to part quantity forecast with it being flagged if the expiration date interferes with the actual date. This is the forcasting for what we plan to use of each part #
This is me subtracting the usage number from the inventory of those part numbers and it being flagged when it expires.
=IF((IF((VLOOKUP($F60,Expires!$1:$1048576, 10, FALSE))<Sheet1!G$58, "Bad", "Good"))="good", T33, "Expired")
I used this function, my vlookup pulling from my first sheet and pulling the part numbers expiration date and if it is <the date up top (9/1,10/1 etc.) then it will be flagged as expired and wont even show the usage. T33 is simply pulling the fromual from another table which is just quantity- usage. Please lmk if this looks right my vlookup turns out pulls the latest expiration date from the multiple part #s.
But that is with total quantities, not separated based on the part number expiration dates. What I am wondering is how can I make a table like this but subtracts the usage from quantity of the part number that will expire first? Then after that quantity hits zero it takes away the usage from the next one due to expire? But also I want the Numbers to be able to auto populate from the sheet where the user enters the data (master log).
So this is what it will be doing and will look like the table above multiple of the same part number. Whats happening now
But needs to look like this Final table and add the part number to the list and quantity as they are entered in the master log. I was trying to do a Vlookup(MIN and take the part number from the other table based on the lowest expiration date first but I don’t think excel is capable of that, I’m not sure here.
Please help, thank you!
I have a column that needs split based on "morning" and "evening" although the morning and evening times move every day (it's based on sidereal day). Calling them morning and evening is a little deceiving though because eventually the time will creep into the next day and I want to keep the groups distinct. It is more accurate to call them group 1 and group 2. It just so happens that they are around 12 hours apart so it looks like you can just separate based on time of day but once the later group creeps into the AM hours, it would start to get counted as "morning" and the earlier group would roll into the afternoon and be counted as "afternoon" See screenshot below for example data.
I need them split so I can perform operations on the value column so I can distinguish the values in the first group from the values in the second group. I thought of doing some sort of flip flop algorithm based on the previous cell but there may be a more elegant way to do it. Also, it's not shown on the example data but sometimes the day may skip but the times more or less continue in the same pattern of increasing by 3-5 minutes each day.
A date with a time stamp is stored as a number in Excel. Days are stored as whole numbers, time is stored in decimals. So, disregarding the date part, look at the decimal of the number and determine if that is before or after the time you want.
0.5 for example is midday, or 12 noon. So if the decimal part of A1 is less than 0.5, the time stamp would be in the morning.
=if(A1-int(A1)<0.5,"before noon","after noon")
It is not clear from your question how sidereal relates to the data in your sample.
I need some help with an Excel Project that's giving me headaches. I succeeded to achieve everything I wanted but the result is too heavy for Excel and it crashes all the time. I'm over-using the INDEX and MATCH functions on large tables (50 000+ lines) and Excel doesn't like it. I'm looking for a way to do the same thing in a lighter way for Excel.
Here's what I achieved : I created a report that helps me analyzing my employees's performance VS their billing targets. To create such a report, I used a Pivot Table.
That Pivot Table needs this information as its source :
Each sales that every employee made (amount in $ and date)
The hourly rate of each employee (which changes for every period, see TABLE1 below)
The billing target for each employees (which changes for every period, see TABLE1 below)
Here's my setup. I have 3 tables :
TABLE1 (See attached image) - A table where I manually input data for each of my employees (hourly rate and billing target). Their billing target and hourly rate change every period. So, each period has a different line and I indicate the first day of the period and the last day of the period.
TABLE2 (See attached image) - Table that contains sales data exported from another software I use. Each line represents an amount sold by an employee to a customer on a specific date. This table is pretty heavy and contains more than 50 000 lines. Moreover, the last 2 columns of this table use Index and Match functions to get the right hourly rate and the right billing target from TABLE1. That means that each of those 50 000 lines uses the INDEX and MATCH functions twice… This part is too heavy for Excel and I need a workaround.
Moreover, TABLE2 is getting refreshed every few days with new data coming from my other software (an ERP). So the solution I need to find must take that into account and must be permanent (I try to avoid steps that will have to be done everytime I refresh TABLE2 with new data).
TABLE3 - A Pivot Table that uses TABLE2 as its data source. I use the slicer to select the name of an employee and a timeline to specify which months I want to display. Then the Pivot Table shows my employee's statistics grouped by months. The main statistic is the amount of "billed hours" for each employee, which is in reality the amount of sales made by that employee, divided by their hourly rate on a specific date.
My thoughts :
It is absurd that TABLE2 uses that many INDEX and MATCH functions. For example, if Employee1 made 500 sales between 2020-07-01 and 2020-07-31 (the same month, thus the same period, thus the same hourly rate and billing target), there will be 500 different lines that will use INDEX and MATCH to get the same hourly rate and billing target from TABLE1. That leads to a lot of duplicated calculation and a lot of duplicated data.
Would it be possible for a Pivot Table Calculated Field to use INDEX and MATCH in its formula? And would it be lighter for Excel to do so?
Another way would be to add, at the bottom of TABLE2, 12 lines per year (1 for each month) for every employee where I would write their hourly rate and the billing target. That way, the Pivot Table would be able to display an hourly rate and a billing target for each month, for each employee. That solution would work and would be lighter for Excel, but it would create a high risk of making mistakes while manually inputting the data.
I'm open to all suggestions including VBA!
Thank you very much for your precious time!
EDIT : FORMULA
As requested, here's my INDEX AND MATCH formula that is in TABLE2 and gets the hourly rate from TABLE1 :
=INDEX(TAB_Employee_Data[[#All];[Hourly_Rate]];MATCH([#[Date (Cell)]]; IF(TAB_Employee_Data[[#All];[Name]]=[#[Employee(Cell)]];TAB_Employee_Data[[#All];[First day of the period]]);1))
TAB_Employee_Data is the tab that contains "TABLE1".
I translated the names of the fields since all my work is in French.
This formula does the following : it searches the name of an employee in TABLE1 and finds the period which fits the date of a line in TABLE2.
Also, to work properly, I need to sort the lines of TABLE1 in chronological order.
TABLE 1 :
TABLE 2:
I have a fact table consisting of schedule data tracked over many months. An activity will have an entry for each month. I want to see if an activity started and finished on time by comparing each activity's start and finish dates to the previous month's forecasted start and finish dates.
Here is an example of what I want. The Started/Finished On Time columns are the calculated columns I want to make.
Example 1: Activity 1 did not start or finish on time in November, but did start on time in December. It did not finish on time so the Finished on Time column is marked "late".
Example 2: Activity 3 started earlier than was forecasted (12/7 start vs. 1/5 start). So it should be marked as starting early.
So pretty much the following needs to happen in the Started on Time column (similarly in Finished on Time column):
For each row, find the same activity from last month and compare the start dates (I think I can figure the rest out but this is the real challenge at the moment)
If the current row's start date is in the same month as the snapshot date and is in the same month as the
forecasted start from the other record OR if there is no previous month's record, then return "On Time".
Otherwise, if the current row's start is in the same month as the snapshot date but earlier than the start date from the previous month, return "Early"
Otherwise, if the current row's start is in the future and the previous month's start date was in the future, return "Not Started"
Otherwise, return "Late"
Is this even doable? I feel like this would require some careful use of LOOKUPVALUE and EARLIER, but I'm not sure how to go about it.
Looks like this describes how to do it in Power Pivot completely: Can I compare values in the same column in adjacent rows in PowerPivot?
Performance problems can be solved by moving this partly or completely to Power Query: http://www.powerpivotpro.com/2015/03/how-to-compare-the-current-row-to-the-previous-row-in-power-pivot/
This is a multi-tiered project. Let me give a quick overview. I have attendance data, card/ timestamp punches. I would like to have a pivot table with slicers in Excel. Ideally you'd be able to choose a department / last name / associate number. And also a period of time. Ideally this would be a table with the company period/week. And maybe default to last weeks.
I can get at timecard data in two ways:
(1) generate a CSV that automatically performs the timecard math, to figure out how many hours someone worked and it is smart enough to understand 3rd shift workers. The format of that CSV is:
Last Name, First Name, Personnel Type, Associate Number, Facility, Department, TimeIn, TimeOut, Total Hours
The problem with this method is that I would have to manually append the information to the CSV tables. Or come up with some autoIT script.
(2) Get at the raw data via sql/odbc. This way the math is not done. It is just all of the associates timestamps. I would have to figure up the daily hours myself and figure out a 3rd shift formula too. It is not a set schedule, many people swing shifts and others get called in a lot.
Lastly, I would like to be able to filter the dates by using our company fiscal calendar. I have a spreadsheet that goes from 2000 to 2093. With everyday listed and it's corresponding year/period/week.
Example period info spreadsheet:
date Year Period week WeekTotal Period Total
12/3/2007 2008 1 1 2008.1.1 2008.1
12/4/2007 2008 1 1 2008.1.1 2008.1
I know there is a lot going on here, but what would be the best way to approach this project?
First I have not been able to post any script however the last I tried it I used two options 1. Was a php conversion where the time was numbers ( which makes it easier for calculations)
2. Was in the tables where I deliberately entered the values places the time in different columns or fields for hours, mins, and seconds this meant that while the input is eased I still have to calculate the output in php especially for totals, averages and differences.
Hope it helps a bit
