Google searches are producing complex formulas that I don't understand.
It seems simple enough what I want to accomplish.
I have a calendar date selector that I wish to restrict the selection to within 7 days. I don't want the user to be able to select a date in the past or past 7 days.
My syntax started off as =[Checkin Date]>=TODAY()
This works well to restrict a selection in the past. How do I add to this formula so that the user cannot select a date 7 days past the current date?
Can't seem to wrap my head around it need assistance, thanks.
You may try below list validation formula.
=IF(INT(OrderDate-NOW())>=-7,TRUE,FALSE)
=AND([Due Date]>=TODAY(),[Due Date]<=(TODAY()+7))
This code does exactly what I wanted.
It does not allow the user to select a date in the past, it also will not let the user select a date past 7 days. Perfecto

I have a Microsoft List that has a column called Expiration Date (text in format of MM/DD/YYYY) and Point of Contact (text in format of email#domain.com). How do I create a flow that sends an email out to the Point of Contact 3 months in advance?
My idea was to create a scheduled cloud flow that:
Repeats every day
Looks at every row in specific list
Compares if Expiration Date - 3 Months = Today
If True, send email to Point of Contact
I am currently stuck on step 3 to compare the date. I did Subtract from time to subtract 3 months from Expiration Date but now I do not know how to use this value to compare to today's date.
A better approach is to filter the list by using an OData filter. That will result in a list with all the elements you need.
For doing so, you need to specify the "Filter Query" field (in red):
First type
ExpirationDate eq ''
Then, between the quotes, add an expression, and select the functions addDays and utcNow in the following way:
addDays(utcNow(),92,'MM/dd/yyyy')
Please notice the following:
I'm adding 92 days to get the same day three months in advance for today (today is Oct 18th, so I'm looking for Jan 18th). Maybe adding just 90 days would work for you.
If you just want to add 3 to the month, you would need to get today's date to a variable with utcNow('MM') to get only the month, add 3 to it, and then create the expression accordingly.
I'm sorry the UI is in spanish. I'm from Mexico. But it's the same idea.
In the image, it reads "ExpirationDateText" because that's the way I named the field in my example. In your case, "ExpirationDate" should work.
How do I filter data for specific individual dates in a PivotTable? The input is changed on a weekly basis and therefore the specific desired dates will change every week. I have data for every business day. And I want to retrieve data from the most recent business day, 5 business days before that, 30 business days before that and 90 business days before that. How do I go about this?
Sound like you want an 'Aging Report' If you Google on 'Excel Aging Report', you should be able to find something. use of TODAY() in formula is part of answer. I also did something similar here. It didn't involve Pivot tables.. But it should help you on your way.
You might want to check out the code in my answer at Filtering pivot table with vba
That code lets you programatically filter a Pivot RowField or ColumnField by specifying an interval type (e.g. days, weeks, months, quarters, years) as well as an interval count (e.g. 7, -7). It has an optional argument vRelativeTo field which counts back/foward from the youngest/oldest item depending on whether lNumber is positive/negative.
It leverages off the inbuilt DateFilters functionality, and as such does not
work on RowFields.
Im creating an excel pay sheet so i can keep tabs on my pay.
I have two pay rates,
£9.30 is paid for hours worked from 6pm to 8am Monday to Thursday
£10.30 is paid for hours worked from 6pm Friday to 8am Monday.
I have a column that displays the pay rate, i want this to populate automatically with excel looking at the day of the week and then the start time and then returning the correct pay rate.
For example,
If the day is a Mon and the start time is 6pm return £9.30
If the day is Fri and the start time is 6pm return £10.30 etc etc
Any one have any ideas on how i can achieve this? Id rather this be formula based instead of VBA if possible but if it cant be formula based then VBA it is.
Thanks in advance
I had to make a few assumptions because your question was unclear about the possible start times for your shifts. Your wording and examples lead me to believe that your shifts always begin at 6 PM regardless of the day. I created a possible solution or start to a solution based on that assumption that does not rely on VBA. I've included links to an excel workbook with my solution and a screen shot. (I'm only allowed 2 links with my current rep.)
As Gowtham Shiva suggested in the comments, a screen shot of what you have so far would be helpful.
I created two tables and a named ranged called “valDays”. To use the workbook, you enter the date and start time for your shift in tblPay. Enter the pay rate for a specific day and time in tblRates. valDays provides a way to convert the text for a day of the week into a number for calculating date/time serial numbers.
Feel free to comment/message me for clarification. I’ll do my best to reply and refine the solution as necessary. I hope you find this answer helpful and appreciate feedback. This is my first time providing an answer on Stack Overflow.
I’m going to assume you know how to name a range, create tables, and rename tables in excel. If you don’t there are plenty of YouTubers and bloggers that cover these topics quite well.
List the days in a column off to the right. (I used column K.) “Sun”, “Mon”, “Tue”, etc. Select all the cells with the days of the week and name the range “valDays”.
Formula in tblRates[Serial]:
“=MATCH(tblRates[[#This Row],[Day]],valDays,0)+tblRates[[#This Row],[Time]]”
Formula in tblPay[Serial]:
“=WEEKDAY([Date])+[StartTime]”
Formula in tblPay[Rate]:
“=INDEX(tblRates[Rate],MATCH([Serial],tblRates[Serial],0))”

I'm trying to create a simple leave planner application using Sharepoint. I've got the bulk of it working but I'm going back to do edge cases now like Bank Holidays and half days. So I've added a checkbox column and if ticked, I want it to deduct 0.5 from the total value (half-day). The formula that's working for the full days is:
=(DATEDIF(dateFrom,dateTo,"D"))-INT(DATEDIF(dateFrom,dateTo,"D")/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY(dateTo)-WEEKDAY(dateFrom))<0,2,0)+1
So I just created another two columns called shalfday and ehalfday. If they're ticked then deduct 0.5 from the total (If dates match and both ticked then deduct 0.5 still).
I've tried playing round with things like
-IF([shalfday],"0.5")
and other variants as google results are not being too kind this morning but they're returning #NAME? variables.
Any pointers on the syntax or what I should be looking at?
I would suggest:
-IF([shalfday],0.5,0)
Since you are trying to subtract you should work with integers and not strings (i removed the quotation marks).
I ended up doing this another way. I instead asked the user to specify how many half days were in their leave in another site column and used this suffix in the formula. It also got rid of the validation check to make sure the user wasn't taking two half days on 1 days leave.
New site column called 'Total Half Days' set to number, default value of 0;
Appended to original formula:
-([Total Half Days]/2)+1
Full formula:
=(DATEDIF(dateFrom,dateTo,"D"))-INT(DATEDIF(dateFrom,dateTo,"D")/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY(dateTo)-WEEKDAY(dateFrom))<0,2,0)-([Total Half Days]/2)+1
We are using a custom list on Sharepoint where we require users to enter data with a date and time field. We have been facing huge issues in data validity when generating reports due to this field. Following are the kinds of mistakes:
Selecting AM instead of PM or vice verse. Changing to 24 hrs format doesn't help much because then the users select (as an example) 02:00 instead of 14:00 for 02:00PM.
There are errors regarding formats of dates, hence some entries have dates from the future or the past.
As the reports are generated each week, the list needs to be populated by the end of the week. If the month has changed between the week, people forget to change the month in the calendar and the entries are of the last week of the current month instead of the last week of the previous month.
Are there ways to configure the list(Pref. without programming) so that:
A. Only working hours are available in the time related dropdown.
B. Dates from the future are not allowed( Or not available)
Any help would be appreciated.
As far as I know, you won't be able to satisfy these requirements with no custom code.
If you decide to go down the coding path, what you need to do is create a custom field type. Let me know of you need help on this.
