I am looking to create and IF function that does the following.
There is a ton of data with one column containing dates. I want and if functions that labels each row according to the following.
If date falls between 0-30 days of todays date in the past then label "GOOD" (so if todays date is 21/09/2017 then it should be labelled as "GOOD" should it falls between the dates 21/09/2017 and 21/08/2017)
If date falls between 31-60 days of todays date in the past then label "FAIR"
If date falls between 61-90 days of todays date in the past then label "ATTENTION"
If date falls between 91+ days of todays date in the past then label "CLEARANCE"
Hope someone can help.
Many thanks
Use
=IF(TODAY()-A2<31,"Good",IF(TODAY()-A2<61,"Fair",IF(TODAY()-A2<91,"Attention","Clearance")))
Column D shows the difference between today date and cell date.
Alternative Answer
Use VLOOKUP to potentially ease your future formula maintenance. In an unused location, set up a table that has your break point ranges and associated return values. For this example I used the following:
Technically speaking column G is not required, but it can be easier for some people to read.
Now assuming your dates are in Column A, you can use the following formula in B2 copying down:
=TODAY()-A2
and in C2 use the following look up formula and copy down to get your desired results:
=VLOOKUP(B2,$F$3:$H$6,3,1)
now if you are not keen on generating the extra column for calculate the number of days, you can substitute that first formula into the second to get:
=VLOOKUP(TODAY()-A2,$F$3:$H$6,3,1)
place the above in B2 instead and copy down.
The following is an example of the first approach:
The main advantage to this approach is you can manipulate the lookup table easily changing breakpoints, wording of results etc easily without touching your formula (when done right)
if you have the potential for negative days, instead of returning an error, you could wrap the lookup formula in an IFERROR function to give a custom message or result.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,$F$3:$H$6,3,1),"In the Future")
Assuming your data starts with A2, A3 and so on.. as below
Apply the below formula in B2 and drag down up to A8
=IF(AND(--TEXT(TODAY()-A2,"##")>=-1,--TEXT(TODAY()-A2,"#")<30),"GOOD",IF(AND(--TEXT(TODAY()-A2,"##")>=30,--TEXT(TODAY()-A2,"#")<60),"FAIR",IF(AND(--TEXT(TODAY()-A2,"##")>=60,--TEXT(TODAY()-A2,"#")<90),"ATTENTION",IF(--TEXT(TODAY()-A2,"##")>90,"CLEARANCE","FUTURE DATES"))))

Example of Product Data and Inbounds
I have 20 products that I sell that each have some requested amount that people want to buy. I am struggling to figure out a formula by which I could have it return the week where the sum of it and previous weeks is greater than the amount requested, so I know on what week of inbounds the order can be fulfilled.
The example data only shows three columns of dates but in reality there could be up to 20 weeks of inbounds inventory, so it would be potentially a large series of sums before it finds the one greater than the amount requested. In the example image the cells highlighted in green are the correct week for each product that I manually marked.
Thanks for the help, I'm not sure where to even start on this.
Assuming that your table start in cell A1 (therefore the cell C2 value is 96), use this formula for your conditional formatting starting from cell C2:
=AND(SUM($C2:C2)>=$B2,SUM($B2:B2)-$B2<$B2)
Warning: the formula might stop working if the overall structure of the table is changed. For example: if columns with non-numeric data are inserted, the user will need to re-apply the conditional formatting. If said inserted columns will contain numeric value that are not meant to be sum in the formula, it won't suffice anymore.
I am afraid I don't have time to write a full answer but the below might help. I am sure there is a way to avoid writing multiple COUNTIFS with a SUMPRODUCT but I haven't got there yet.
=SUM(1,
COUNTIFS($B3,">"&$C3),
COUNTIFS($B3,">" & SUM($C3:$D3)),
COUNTIFS($B3,">" & SUM($C3:$E3))
)
This is a model built around your having 20 weeks so that you can have one formula which doesn't require continuous adjustment - it does require one column of helper cells for each week, though:
the helper cells start in column Y, where the formula in Y2 is
=SUM($C2:C2)
which is then copied to the right as far as column AR, and then copied down, one row for each of your products.
With all of the helper cells populated, the array formula in W2 is
=IFNA(INDEX($C$1:$V$1,MATCH(1,N((Y2:AR2-B2)>0),0)),"In the future")
which is then copied down, one row for each of your products.
I am trying to average a large data set within Excel where there is data by 30 minute periods for each day of the month. I have a header for 'start date' and 'Start time' which displays 00:00:00 - 23:30:00 for each day, with the data in question in columns to the right. I am trying to develop a formula which averages data which concerns 00:00:00 - 11:30:00 for each day and 12:00:00 - 23:30:00 for each day (AM:PM).
I have one header for AM values and another for PM values, and Im looking to average both these elements for each day of the month
I have used the following formula which does work:
=AVERAGE(OFFSET(C6,24,0,-24))
This formula capture the range from 00:00:00 - 11:30:00 and averages it like I want, but when I drag the formula down to the next cell, C6 increments to C7, but I want it to increment by 48 each time, meaning C6 should become C54. This means when I drag it down each time it will average the AM values for 02/01/2019 and so on.
Is there any way the cell reference in the above formula can increment by 48 instead of 1 each time it is dragged down into another cell?
Sample Data
Expected output
I made up a dataset kind of like yours:
The formula I've used in F4 to obtain the average of values, when date is '01/01/2019' and time is AM, is AVERAGEIFS:
AVERAGEIFS function
My formula is:
=AVERAGEIFS($C$6:$C$101;$A$6:$A$101;E4;$B$6:$B$101;"<"&0,5)
You can use it and just drag down. As you can see in the image above, the formula returns 27,07
The formula will work only with AM because the criteria is "<"&0,5. In the column where you want to do the average of PM times, we would use the same, but changing criteria to ">="&0,5, this means:
=AVERAGEIFS($C$6:$C$101;$A$6:$A$101;E4;$B$6:$B$101;">="&0,5)
Hope you can adapt this to your needs.
NOTE: Because your data is in a Pivot Table (you never mentioned that), if the Pivot Table changes, you'll neeed to adapt the formula. A solution would be using ranges from row 6 until last one, so the formula will take always all the rows. Remember to not show total row or it may affect the result.
OPTION 2: In case you can add an extra column to original data (not in the Pivot Table), maybe this can help a lot.
I've used same data than before, but I added an extra column, named AM/PM with a formula on it:
=IF(B6<0,5;"AM";"PM")
It looks like this:
Then I created a Pivot Table based on it, with a configuration:
Field Start date to section of rows.
Field AM/PM to columns.
Field VALUE to values section, but instead of suming up, I did average operation.
I get this on my Pivot Table:
As you can see, AM for 01/01/2019 is 27,07 (the oher numbers are based on random numbers I made up).
Hope this can help.
If you absolutely must go with the AVERAGE(OFFSET()) solution I would have a 'helper' cell (in this case J6) with 1 in it, then J7 have =J6+48, then the main formula could be
=AVERAGE(OFFSET($C$6,J6,0,24))
Then when you copy the formula down, you'll also need to copy down from J7.
The Rows argument is purpose built for what you want to do. Going to efforts to change the reference cell defies this purpose.
Edited because I missed the AM/PM split:
I think, however, AVERAGEIFS() will fit your requirement better. This takes the average of all values in column C where the date in column A matches that in cell G6 (Change this to wherever your output is). This will avoid errors should any of your dates have any half hour periods missing.
=AVERAGEIFS($C:$C,$A:$A,G6,$B:$B,"<"&TIMEVALUE("12:00:00"))
I am trying to make my AVERAGEIFS criteria update automatically according to the day of the year (in this case only for 2014). My original AVERAGEIFS formula works perfect =AVERAGEIFS($B$2:$B$35041,$A$2:$A$35041,">=1/1/2014",$A$2:$A$35041,"<1/2/2014"), but I have to manually edit it for each day of the year.
I have tried modifying formulas I have seen in other posts here, but no luck so far. I want to average the values in column B (Amount) for each day in column A (Date). I have 96 time slots for each day of the year, hence the 96 entries in column A with the same date, e.g. 1/1/2014 and so on until 12/31/2014. How can I modify the formula so that it automatically adjusts the day when I drag it down?
Here is a screenshot of the data:
Screenshot of data
Any help is much appreciated!
EDIT: Updated formula below; I had misread the original question as to how your data was formatted. You can put this formula in B2 and copy down.
=AVERAGEIFS($B$2:$B$35041,$A$2:$A$35041,">="&$A2,$A$2:$A$35041,"<"&($A2+1))
Your original comparison operator hardcoded a date as a string. We can simply concatenate the value of a cell into that comparison string instead.
Granted, this will do the same calculation for each of the 96 entries for each of the days in your sheet. You could add a second sheet for the averages with just the distinct days of the year listed in A and an average calculation in B.
EDIT 2:
If your entries in column A have fractional date information (i.e. with hours, minutes, and seconds), converting the dates to integers will drop any fractional component:
=AVERAGEIFS($B$2:$B$35041,$A$2:$A$35041,">="&INT($A2),$A$2:$A$35041,"<"&INT($A2)+1)
I have worksheet named as Correlation_Process and it contains the field of Birthdate and Age.
what i want to do is to get the age based on the birthdate i already get the age based on the birthdate using excel formula. but some of the rows returns some error like this #VALUE!
Here's my excel formula to get the age: =DATEDIF(A:A,NOW(),"y")
and Here's my date format (Month/day/year) i dont get the error shown in picture which is #VALUE! when some of the rows are showing the expected output
anyone can help?
=DATEDIF(A:A,NOW(),"y")
The formula entered into cell B2 should be this:
=DATEDIF(A2, NOW(), "y")
Copy this formula down the B column and you should have the data you want.
The general formula for DATEDIF is
DATEDIF(first_date, second_date, UNIT)
Why dont you try something like this:
=TEXT(TODAY();"yyyy")-TEXT(A2;"yyyy")
And see if it works
OK lets go back to basics and the sure fired way to snag the date. We will rip apart the date manually and then recombine it.
Start by ripping apart the date into Day, Month and Year
Day
=MID(A2,4,2)
Month
=Left(A2,2)
Year
=Right(A2,4)
Now we will want to combine those values into the DATE(year,month,day) function.
=DATE(Right(A2,4),Left(A2,2),MID(A2,4,2))
Now you will want to use that in your DATEDIF formula
=DATEDIF(DATE(Right(A2,4),Left(A2,2),MID(A2,4,2)),NOW(),"y")
This assumes your dates are in the A column starting in ROW 2. Place the above formula in B2 and copy down. This is all based on your dates being text and not serial dates.
In my data source I have a column that contains the Dates of occurrences and a Column that contains the Hour of the same occurrences.
With this, the goal is to obtain a punchcard plot (maybe the bubble chart will be the most appropriate)
The intermediate structure has the weekday(Sunday-Saturday) as rows (A2:A8), and the hours (8-22) as Columns (B1:P1), as each column must have the occurrence count for a week day in an hour.
With this said, I tried to use the COUNTIFS function, using the following approach, for the cell B2:
=COUNTIFS(WEEKDAY(RawData!T2:T9852;1);A2;HOUR(RawData!U2:U9852);B1)
However, Excel is not computing the value, finding a problem on the formula, having also tried using the Insert Formula Option.
place the following in B2
=SUMPRODUCT((WEEKDAY($T$2:$T$8,1)=WEEKDAY($A2,1))*(HOUR($U$2:$U$8)=HOUR(B$1)))
you will need to convert the , to match the ; on your system
In your range A2:A8 enter a known date for monday such as 2017/08/20. Then select A2:A8 and apply custom formatting for the number format and set it to ddd. This will display the day of the week in text but keep the value in the cell a number.
Adjust the ranges to suit your data.
Copy the formula to fill in your table.
