I have a sheet in Excel, what I want is, to create a column, where each row starts with a specific date, for example, "3 april 2017". Then, when I drag and scroll bottom I want it to increase by one day.
So, basically, I want to create a sheet where each row starts with a specific date, where the first date is equal to now date, and next row is today date + 1 day.
I'm not very keen in Excel and I tried =WEEKDAY and =DAYformulas, but I could not get what I want.
Is there any formula I can use to easily achieve this task?
As discussed in the comments, Excel stores dates as numbers so to add a day to a date you simply need to add one to it:
=A1+1
... for example, when the original date is in cell A1.
To format this as you require, use the following custom format string:
d mmmm yyyy

What I want to do: specify the Month and Year in a cell and create a list of the dates in the specified month. So, it should look like this: the yellow cells are the only cells that should be changed by the user:
I only find examples where you have to manually pull the date down. But that's not what I want, the user should only need to specify month and year. Any ideas?
Perhaps could be shortened, but here is an approach using DATEVALUE, DAY, SEQUENCE, and EOMONTH. It may need adjusted based on the date format in your language/Excel settings.
=DATEVALUE(B1&SEQUENCE(DAY(EOMONTH(DATEVALUE(B1&" 1, "&B2),0)))&", "&B2)
I am trying to get the number of days per year between two dates.
The results should look somehow like the following picture
The range between the 2 dates in the 2021 year has 301 days and in the 2022 year has 94 days.
Put this in C2 and copy over:
=MIN(DATE(C1,12,31),$B$2)-MAX(DATE(C1,1,1),$A$2)
Your question isn't entirely easy to understand but what you don't know is in plain sight: Excel represents dates as integer numbers where Jan 1, 1900 is the first day (= 1) and all days from then till now have a unique number. Today is 44261. Tomorrow will be 44262.
Therefore the difference between dates equals [End date] - [Start date], where only one of these two dates is included in the count. [Tomorrow]-[Today] = 1, not 2.
When a worksheet cell is formatted as General Excel will automatically change that format to whatever Excel thinks you have probably entered. If you enter what Excel recognizes as a date the cell format will be changed to Date and if the way you entered the date was by function, such as =TODAY() the cell will display "6/3/2021" using the date format specified in your Windows International settings.
But if you manually change the cell format back to General or Number the display will change to 44262. That's the way you can test if your cell contains a "true" date, with which you can do calculations, or a "fake" date, which is just a text string which is nice to look at but otherwise useless.
Hy Every One, I need help in excel formula, I have two sheets, sheet1 for sale tracker, sheet two for goals tracker, I used Now() to enter date automatically, and its working fine, Next in goal sheet, I use =Sumif() to calcualte various category totals and refer them in cell. Its also working fine. But I want to track record according to month and category. Like I have 6 categories detail is as under,
Sales Tracker
In the First picture Column Date consist of formula "=IF(ISBLANK(B5),"-",TODAY())" and it display the name of month like "October"
While in second picture there is a drop down list of "Month" Column.
1- I want to use if statement like =if(Date=Month, Sum(Revenue Secure column Data), "-") But its not working the formula I wrote here is an example....
2- I want when I select any month from second sheet like January, February, It should calculate sum from picutre one data and only show the sum of january etc.
Please help me, this is eating my brain a huge,,,,,,:)
Thanks in advance....
In short my question is how can I use If statement to compare value of cell that contain formula and other that contain drop down list?
Or use the MONTH function to change your date to a number 1 to 12 corresponding to the month. Then have the combo return a number for the month chosen. It might be faster using integers than test
I Believe you have to compare the month and not the whole date.
You can do TEXT(NOW();"mmmm") to get the full month name of the current data (in the language of excel) and then compare it to your drop down.
If you replace the NOW() with any data it works as well.
So I have a pretty long column with name dates and hours, like this:
14/01/2017 03:30
(They are DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM)
I need to get the month number and show it as text, like January, February, and so on.
If I format the destination cell as 'MMM' all the column cells show January even if the given month is 2, 3, or let's say 12. I also tried the formula =TEXT(L2,"mmmm") (since the given info come from column F.
Any ideas?
sounds like your date and time are stored as text and not in excels serial date format. You can test this by changing the format of the cell to general and seeing if anything happens if nothing changes then its text. another way would be to use the formula =istext(A1) where A1 is a cell with a date in it.
Now ASSUMING you do have dates in text format, I would suggest converting them to excels date serial. There are numerous ways of doing this. I will show you one way.
This will strip each component of the text out and then recombine it. We will assume your date in is A1
Strip out the year
=MID(A1,7,4)
Strip out the month
=MID(A1,4,2)
Strip out the day
=LEFT(A1,2)
Now to recombine it:
=DATE(MID(A1,7,4),MID(A1,4,2),LEFT(A1,2))
That will give you the date in an integer format that excel can then turn around and display as needed.
In order not to lose the time component you should strip that part off as well and combine it with the date. Remember the date is an integer, and the time is everything after the decimal. Think of time as a fraction of a day.
To get time out use:
=RIGHT(A1,5)
and to convert it to excel time:
=TIMEVALUE(RIGHT(A1,5))
and to get the two together, simply add:
=DATE(MID(A1,7,4),MID(A1,4,2),LEFT(A1,2)+TIMEVALUE(RIGHT(A1,5))
The key part to this whole thing is you will need to format that cell to display what you want. you can either choose a preformatted style from the drop down menu, or you can apply custom formatting. Setting the custom format to MMMM should display just the full name of the month.
IF you actually need the text of the month and not just the format, then you could use the formula from your question:
=TEXT(<insert appropriate formula from above>,"mmmm")
Try using MID to get the month only, then TEXT():
=TEXT(MID(A1,SEARCH("/",A1)+1,2),"MMMM")
My first time to this forum.
I am a free range poultry farmer and I am trying to make spreadsheets to monitor my flocks. I have made the flock specific input sheets and now working on getting information for all of them into one summary sheet.
My question is...
I have the age of the birds going down column A also I have dates by week end date going down Column B... I would like to know how to have it that in one summary cell when the current date falls into one of the weeks listed in Column B that the corresponding cell in Column A is shown in that Summary cell (showing the current age of the flock). I would like this obviously auto update when the date progresses into another week.
Can any one help??
Thanks
Put the current date in the header (=TODAY() function or variations).
Name the current date cell (e.g. Current_date)
If your data are in table format I recommend putting them in a Table, this will insert your formulae to any new row started. If you dislike them you can simply create filters.
Use the formula in say C5 "=B5=Current_date" This will give you a logical expression, TRUE or FALSE. You can filter for TRUE to see the flocks to sell/cut.
