Hello I'm wondering if there's a formula equivalent of an for each statement.
I know this would be possible with VBA, but given it's an official report I'd prefer to make it macro-free.
Basically I have a column (let's say A) that contains when an invoice was paid
`
|----------------------------------|
1|DUE DATE (TABLE HEADER, COLUMN A) | (COLUMN B)
|==================================|
2|1/1/2019 | =If any of the due dates are past today, trigger
3|2/5/2018 |
4|4/5/2018 |
Now let's presume we have the current date (22/2/2018) as you can see, none of these are past the due date.
I have a cell in column B with the following formula
=IF(DATEDIF(TODAY(), A2:A4, "d")">0", "All invoices paid in time", "Invoice past the due date found"
Issue is, DATEDIF can only work with individual day, not a range. Technically I could do it with multiple OR formulas -> eg.
=IF(OR(DATEDIF(TODAY(), A2 "d"), DATEDIF(TODAY(), A3, "D")...and so on......
but this would be only viable in my example, not in document with 500 due dates.
Any idea how to exute this?
TL/DR: I'm trying to create a formula, for a cell, that if any of the due dates are before today, i want the cell to trigger to a different value
There is, sort of. Enter the powerful world of arrays:
Suppose your dates are in A1:A3. And the test date is B1. B1 might contain the (volatile) formula =TODAY().
You use the array formula
=IF(SUM(IF(A1:A3 > B1, 1, 0)), 1, 0)
remembering to press Ctrl + Shift + Return to declare this as an array. Essentially the IF is evaluated cell by cell in the range A1:A3. That's remarkably for-each-like.
There are other techniques for this particular case, but the answer I give you is, I think, the pattern that generalises most readily.
Use the MIN() function. If MIN(A:A) is less than TODAY() then at least one item is past due.
Well Technically I found a way to make this work, but this is more of a workaround, rather than proper answer to the formula in question.
If you create a (hidden) column like this
with the formula
=IF(ISNUMBER(DATEDIF(A2, TODAY(), "d"), 1, 0)
Basically, the way DATEDIF works it tries to substract two dates. However, since Excel is not normally capable of getting negative dates (exception with Date System 1904 enabled). If it gets a negative date, it will produce #NUM! error, so the ISNUMBER formula acts like a trigger criteria in this function.
Then we simply create our control cell
With the following formula
=IF(SUM(B:B)>0, "ALERT: " & SUM(B:B) & " invoices are past the due date", "No invoices past due date yet")
The way this works is quite simple. If our datedif triggers, it goes to 1, by adding (SUM) all the triggers together we achieve the amount of the invoices that are past the due date (invoices where the due date triggered). For better illustration:
Now, let's say 2/3 invoices would be past the due date, then it would produce the following result:
Hopefully this helps :)
You can try this array formula:
= OR(A1:A3>B1)+0

I am trying to get this formula to ignore the times on the data in column D and look up the date to calculate the costs per day, but can't seem to get this working.
I don't know why you are apparently trying to sum B:B from B2; that seems like a circular reference. I believe you are trying to sum E:E.
=sumifs(E:E, D:D, ">="&A2, D:D, "<"&A2+1)
Put this in B2 then drag down:
=SUMIFS(E:E,D:D,"<=" & A2 + 1 - TIMEVALUE("00:00:01"),D:D,">=" & A2)
It works by searching on less than or equal to the last second of the date in A2 (add 1 day then minus 1 second) and greater than or equal to the first second on the date in A2.
Edit: Damn I over complicated that, user11087823 has put a more appropriate answer.
You can use SUMPRODUCT as shown below:
I suggest you read about how dates and times are stored in Excel, as you will note that I used mathematics, and not string functions, to remove the time portion.
I know this is a simple question, but, what I mean is how do you copy a cell, but when that cell changes, it doesn't affect the copy.
To make it a bit easier to understand, If I had A1 that said "Hi", and I wanted A2to say "Hi" also, I would put =A1. However, if I changed A1, it would change A2 along with it, and that is what I don't want.
I am asking this as I have a formula that says that something is so and so weeks overdue, but when a checkbox is ticked, the weeks counter stops and doesn't add any more.
Here is what I mean and the paragraph underneath states what it means and what I need from it.
The cell that says "13/02/2019" is =TODAY() and the cell that says "06/02/2019" is a date I manually entered. The problem I have is that if I came back in 1 week, it would say "Handed in late by 2 weeks." and that is what I want to prevent. However, I only want this =TODAY() to freeze when that check box is ticked.
Today() reports today's date and it will always update to the current date. Today() is a volatile function that will recalculate on every worksheet change, even cells entirely unrelated to the function. Formulas referencing a cell containing Today() will also update to reflect the current date like you are experiencing now.
You appear to be looking for a process that will snapshot the date at the time of an action (checking a box). If you want it to be a formula, you will need to input the date of return as well and create a formula comparing the difference between to two inputs. There is already a shortcut to insert today's date in a non-formula method: Select the cell and press Control + ; (semi-colon). A simple formula that references the difference between the check-out and check-in dates on a per line basis with rounding and concatenate functions, should accomplish the described purpose.
A1 = (Checkout date)
B1 = (Return Date)
C1 =IF(ROUNDUP((B1-A1)/7,0)=1,CONCATENATE(ROUNDUP((B1-A1)/7,0)," Week"),CONCATENATE(ROUNDUP((B1-A1)/7,0)," Weeks"))
This function checks the difference between A and B, divides by 7 to get number of weeks, rounds it up to a whole number, and checks if the number of weeks is 1 or not. If it is one the text will say " week" otherwise it will say " weeks". This also avoids using a volatile function which in larger projects would cause incessant and potentially resource demanding calculating.
I created a like to follow the inventory on an item.
I'm looking to find "What's the next date of availability?"
I found my answer with a index match function, but the problem is :
For each orders, what's available to promise... when my Running Total is not covered by the next "stock Arrival" how to find the "2nd" best match (next arrival)..
Maybe I'm overthinking this..
Here is my workbook :

Anyone is an Excel guru?
You can check edited file. This formula is very comlicated, but it takes into account that, what would be if the second
Put this array formula and press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER and fill down:
=IF(K2=0,INDEX(A3:E$17,MATCH("05 - arrival",A3:A$17,0),5),IF(SUM($G$2:G2)+INDEX($G$2:$G$17,SMALL(IF($G$2:$G$17>0,ROW($G$2:$G$17)),1)-1)+INDEX($G$2:$G$17,SMALL(IF($G$2:$G$17>0,ROW($G$2:$G$17)),2)-1)>0,INDEX($E$2:$E$17,SMALL(IF($G$2:$G$17>0,ROW($G$2:$G$17)),2)-1),INDEX($E$2:$E$17,SMALL(IF($G$2:$G$17>0,ROW($G$2:$G$17)),3)-1)))
Hope this will help.
I think you're looking for the next instock date? For example, L2 shows the next arrival date is 11/25/16, but on that date you can clearly see that it will be Not Instock. So, instead you would like to tell the customer when it will be instock - see column M - which shows the date of the next instock arrival date.
To do this, I used a 'adjusting' range INDEX() and MATCH() formula: =INDEX(E2:$E$17,MATCH("Instock",I2:$I$17,0))
Notice there are no $ dollar signs around E2 and I2. This will allow the range to adjust as the formula is copied down, making sure the previous dates are not in the formula (only present and future dates - nothing from the past).
How I see it what I need is =countif(C:C,"datedif(12-09-2015,C:C,"d")>56")
My best guess is that within the datedif brackets I can't enter a date as C:C.
I keep getting an error message or a zero.
What I want to achieve is to have a monthly (1-30/31) table that shows how many people were working on that day that had been there for more than 56 days. So the end table would look something like this:
use array =SUM(IF()) instead of =COUNTIF()
Firs of all create an IF finction that return TRUE when your conditions are met:
in cell F2 put: =IF("20/09/2015"-C2:C12 > 56) and confirm with CTRL+Shift+enter to create an array formula
you should get: TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE
once you know it works as intended, you can just wrap it in a single-cell sum. In cell G2 put: =SUM(IF("20/09/2015"-C2:C12 > 56)) and confirm with CTRL+Shift+enter. You will have a single cell this time, with a result of 3
This should be enough to get you started. In your case I suggest you store the "1,2,3,4,5..." day numbers in results sheet as dates, formatted to display just the day number, and then reference that directly in each countif
I have tried to see if this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an answer.
I have a column of cells (>3000 rows), with either a value of 1 or 0 (call this column A). The value will depend on the value in column B (which will contain either a value or nothing). The values in column B are a SUMIFS function based, summing from column C, and based on months in column D.
The values in B are paid out on the first business day of the next month. So, the SUMIFS function will calculate the dates that match the last month. This works well in theory, however, not every first business day is the first day of the month. This leads the SUMIFS function to not include everything in the correct month, and allows for some discrepancy, which, when you are dealing with people's money is not great. Further, this discrepancy is compounded across multiple periods (in some cases, there are over 100 periods, and a discrepancy of $1 in period 1 amounts to nearly $1000 in period 100)
What I am wondering is:
Is there any way that I can tell the SUMIFS function (column B) to stop when the value in column A is 0? This would tell the SUM function start the summing from the current value in column B and continue the function to the cell below the preceding value in column B.
I've seen suggestions that the MATCH function may work, but I can't see how to do this with either COUNT or SUM.
For security reasons, this solution needs to be entered into the cell, and can't be VBA. Also, it can't be too large, as it will need to be replicated across 200 worksheets in the workbook (not my file originally, and I would have done it differently, but that is another story). There is no problem entering another column or two if that is required.
Any help is gratefully appreciated.
EDIT:
Unfortunately, I can't post an image of the screenshot. I've included a similar screenshot (columns are not the same layout, but hopefully it gives the idea) here:
Rates calculations
The SUMIF formula is (for B2)
=SUMIFS(C2:C35,D2:D35,D2-1,A2:A35,1)
This works fine if I want all the values in the month, irrelevant of when the payment was made.
However, what I need the formula to do is:
SUM (C2:C35,D2:D35,D2-1, but stop when the first 0 is encountered in A2:A35)
Thanks
The INDEX function can provide a valid cell reference to stop using a MATCH function to find an exact match on 0.
This formula is a bit of a guess as there was no sample data to reference but I believe I have understood your parameters.
=SUMIFS(C2:index(C2:C35, match(0, A2:A35, 0)), D2:index(D2:D35, match(0, A2:A35, 0)), D2-1)
This seems to be something that will stand-alone and not be filled down so I have left the cell addresses relative as per your sample(s).
