On my planner I have a section with recurring dates (see pic below) that I use to copy/paste cells into the main body of my planner as needed.
I use the formula below (Thursday shown) for 'recurring every week', but what about 'recurring every 2 weeks'? I'll need to use the DATE() function I think, copy/paste and then edit the date in the formula each time, I'm OK with that, but struggling to come up with the right formula.
=IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY())=5,TODAY(),TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY())+5 + IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY())>=5,7))
In order to create a 2-week switch, I'd go for a weeknumber mod 2:
=MOD(WEEKNUM(TODAY(),11),2)
This gives 1 for odd, and 0 for even week numbers.
Good luck

I have a excel spreadsheet with two columns. One with a date and another with the value.
I want to get the working day of the month with the lowest value.
I tried to use a pivot table for it and then group the date but I get a lot of errors.
You can find the spreadsheet here and the sheet name is Historical. The others are just attempts made by me.
Spreadsheet
Thanks
The formula entered in E2 below
is
=AGGREGATE(15,6,(POWER(10,LOG10(((YEAR(D2)=YEAR($A$2:$A$3254))*(MONTH(D2)=MONTH($A$2:$A$3254)))))*$B$2:$B$3254),1)
and the array formula entered in F2 below is
=INDEX($A$2:$A$3254,MATCH(YEAR(D2)&MONTH(D2)&E2,YEAR($A$2:$A$3254)&MONTH($A$2:$A$3254)&$B$2:$B$3254,0))
I suggest to make an triple nested if-construct that checks if the weekday of the date is a workday, or the date+ 1 or the day +2. Assuming the date is in cell A4
= if(instr(weekday(A4),”23456”)>0, A4,
if(instr(weekday(A4+1),”23456”)>0, A4 + 1,
if(instr(weekday(A4+2),”23456”)>0, A4 + 2,”cannot happen”)))
Explanation: one of 3 consecutive days is always a working day.
There may be typos since I edit that on iPad without Excel available to test.
Weekday returns 1 for Sunday and 7 for Saturday. So 2-6 are workdays.
However with that simple approach you will not detect public holidays on a working day if that is a problem.
Hope I understood you question correctly. One data example with solution would have explained it better.
I'm trying to make a formula to find the difference between 2 time, and also have a condition like this :
If work time > 8 hours, then the difference from work time become the overtime
And here's the image of my table in Excel :
the table
Can you please tell me what to write the formula?
Formula for worktime
=F2-E2
Formula for Overtime
=MAX(G2-(1/3),0)
If you would like the work time and overtime to be formatted as number (e.g 1 instead of 1:00), use the formulas below and format your cells to be numbers
=(F2-E2)*24
=MAX(G2-8,0)
It could be a basic one, trying to apply formula =TEXT(A2/(24*60*60),"dd \d\a\y\s hh:mm:ss") on the same column Seconds to a new computed value. For eg., 495079 tranform to 05 days 17:31:19. I don't want to bring in additional columns. Any help is appreciated.
Duplicate: this answer.
#MADHU VS - your formula is exactly like the one in that answer. Maybe what's confusing you is you think the answer should be 5 days - it's really 4. "04 days 17:31:19"
The person who answered on the other thread also made a useful suggestion not to use the text function. Use =A2/(24*60*60) on your sheet, then go into the time formatting dialog and set up a custom format dd \d\a\y\s hh:mm:ss.
I just tried that, and it works perfectly. I was able to subtract 1 from it in a different cell, and got "03 days 17:31:19" (if that would be useful to you).
24*60*60 = 86400.
Enter =86400 in a cell. Copy that cell. Just select the range of the "Second" numbers only (not the entire column) and right click then select Copy paste special, select divide (Also select values if so desired), click OK. No need for another column.
Then format cells pressing Control + 1
Background:
This excel is to track the hours someone works and what days. It also needs to track the total days worked in a week.
Requirement:
The 'Total Days' column needs to count the Monday(M) to Sunday (S) columns if they are greater than 0
Previously I had a simple COUNTIF(H6:K6, ">0") or whatever it was, which worked well.
Now the user has added in extra columns for pay and charge rates each day, after the corresponding day, which has thrown the formula off, and the COUNTIF formula wont do the columns separately inside the same formula.
Snippet of excel layout
Also some clarification, In AZ1 for instance I would want it to count H1, K1, N1, etc up to Z1
If anyone could help me work out a formula, that would be great!
COUNTIFS uses AND logic, whereas, you need OR logic. Try something like:
=COUNTIF(A3,">0") + COUNTIF(B3,">0")+...
EDIT: Since that didn't work, this should do the trick:
=COUNTIF(H5,">0")+COUNTIF(K5,">0")+COUNTIF(N5,">0")+COUNTIF(Q5,">0")+COUNTIF(T5,">0")+COUNTIF(W5,">0")+COUNTIF(Z5,">0")
Try using the MOD function to determine the stagger of the columns. SUMPRODUCT and ISNUMBER can take care of the rest.
=SUMPRODUCT(NOT(MOD(COLUMN(H:Z)-8, 3))*ISNUMBER(H6:Z6))
I am somewhat new to writing large, complicated formulas with excel. I took over a report from someone about 7 months ago and it seems that every week I find issues with what was written with his formulas.
This week I am having issues with a match formula. We have a report we run for a big hardware store and they report based on weeks. This last week was 201501 (2015, week 1.) Last week was 201452 (2014, week 52.)
To look at 4 week sales averages, my predecessor setup 4 numbers that would change every week based on the week you type in one of the column headings. So, when I type 201452,
#1 is 201449
#2 is 201450
#3 is 201451
#4 is 201452
He feeds those into a match function.
I found this week that 201501 does not correctly display the weeks. I got
Results Formula Used
201501 =D1 (The cell where you type the Store's week)
201500 =IF(M1=201301,201252,IF(M1=201401,201352,M1-1))
201499 =IF(L1=201301,201252,IF(L1=201401,201352,L1-1))
201498 =IF(K1=201301,201252,IF(K1=201401,201352,K1-1))
I changed those formulas
Results New Formula
201501 =D1
201452 =IF(RIGHT(M1,2) = "01",(LEFT(M1,4) - 1)&"52",M1-1)
201451 =IF(RIGHT(L1,2) = "01",(LEFT(L1,4) - 1)&"52",L1-1)
201450 =IF(RIGHT(K1,2) = "01",(LEFT(K1,4) - 1)&"52",K1-1)
However, the match formulas he has setup throughout the workbook have not been fixed. They are still displaying "#N/A." One such formula is
=INDEX(N5:DZ5,1,MATCH(Data!$L$1,$N$1:$ED$1,0))
This formula basically looks at the column headers, and if it sees that the column header matches the week I've typed, will display the value within that range.
Basically, any formula that's being fed the 201452 value is returning "#N/A". The other numbers miraculously display data.
I've already tried converting all of my data in the affected rows to "General" format type. I've tried checking to see if I have spaces before or after in all of my formulas and column headers, but am still having no luck.
Any ideas?
After trying and trying and trying, I found that Excel does not like the concatenation. Trim does not help, Text does not help, Concatenate of course did not work.
I ended up realizing I could simply write
=IF(RIGHT(M1,2) = "01",M1-49,M1-1)
This makes it so that in the instance where the number to the right of it is the first week, subtract 49 days and produce 52 instead of 00.
I'm guessing here, but it could be that your formulas are presenting the Year/Week combo as a number, where the Match formula is looking for text (for Excel's purpose, it doesn't recognize them as the same).
You can get around this, by wrapping your formulas above with the text formula
So you'd have the following:
Results New Formula
201501 =TEXT(D1,"0")
201452 =TEXT(IF(RIGHT(M1,2) = "01",(LEFT(M1,4) - 1)&"52",M1-1),"0")
201451 =TEXT(IF(RIGHT(L1,2) = "01",(LEFT(L1,4) - 1)&"52",L1-1),"0")
201450 =TEXT(IF(RIGHT(K1,2) = "01",(LEFT(K1,4) - 1)&"52",K1-1),"0")
