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))”
You can download the excel document and view these screenshots of a possible solution.

I have done some programming in the past, so I would be able to figure this problem out in a programming language. But, I do not know how to proceed with accomplishing my task in an Excel spreadsheet. Any kind of guidance would be helpful because I am not familiar with anything but a basic use of MS Excel, so I don't even know which topics to search for to get some guidance on solving this problem.
Here is the breakdown for my problem:
I work for a construction company and I am keeping count of the number of days which need to be extended to a schedule deadline. All "lost weather days" are in a column (assume they are in chronological order and there are not bad dates like 2/32/22).
Contractually, we eat the first 5 lost weather days for any given month. But, if there are more than 5 lost weather days in any given month, then I need to add those days to a count by which the schedule deadline can be extended. So, any time a month has more than 5 lost weather days, I need to start counting.
For example:
DATE
1/1/23
1/2/23
1/13/23
1/14/23
1/25/23
1/26/23
1/27/23
2/1/23
2/12/23
Here, 1/6/23 and 1/7/23 need to be counted while all of the other dates are ignored because 1/1/22, 1/2/22, 1/3/22, 1/4/22, and 1/5/22 are the first five days in January 2023. So, I should have a cell with a value of 2.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.
I haven't tried anything specific because I am unfamiliar with excel at the moment.
=LET(m,EOMONTH(TRANSPOSE(A2:A10),0),
f,FREQUENCY(m,m),
SUM(IF(f>5,f-5)))
This first converts the dates in the same month(/year) to the same date being the end of that month.
Then FREQUENCY counts the number of days being the same per month. Then, if the frequency is higher than 5, 5 is substracted, else ignored.
For older Excel versions:
=SUM(
IF(
FREQUENCY(
EOMONTH(TRANSPOSE(A2:A10),0),
EOMONTH(TRANSPOSE(A2:A10),0)
)>5,
FREQUENCY(
EOMONTH(TRANSPOSE(A2:A10),0),
EOMONTH(TRANSPOSE(A2:A10),0)
)-5)
)
With Office 365:
=LET(rng,A2:A10,uq,UNIQUE(DATE(YEAR(rng),MONTH(rng),1)),SUM(BYROW(uq,LAMBDA(a,MAX(0,COUNTIFS(A2:A10,">="&a,A2:A10,"<"&EOMONTH(a,0)+1)-5)))))
I have an Excel doc that breaks down various tasks based on the weeks commenced:
I'm trying to highlight the whole column depending on the week we're sitting on (based on the start of the week being a Monday), so that whoever opens the document, whenever, can see clearly straight away what is due to be carried out in that week.
If I focus on the current day then I can highlight the column through a code found on another question ie =L$6=TODAY but I'm looking to focus on the week commencing rather than the day we're sitting on.
Any help would be really appreciated :)
Try this one
=L$6=(WEEKNUM(TODAY(),2)+1)
If you are interested in the days of the next week to the present day, beginning on Monday (2).
Hope it helps
I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I have a spreadsheet which I use to populate scheduled meetings of various venues (at the moment these dates I enter in manually from a reference sheet as I don’t know how to do it with a formula).
Each week, when staff go to the venue for their meeting I then enter in (again manually) what date they actually went to the venue for the meeting.
What I then have to do, is work out if they went to the meeting within our agreed time-frame, and if not, how many days late were they. However, this calculation part will just take days to do by hand as there are so many meetings to analyse.
To work out if someone is within time frame or is late, it works on this premise:
If your meeting was scheduled to take place in say week 40, you have until the Friday of week 41 to go. Any working day after that is a day late (so if for example you ended up going to the meeting on the Tuesday in week 42 you would be 2 days late). Weekends and holidays should not be included in the calculation as staff don't work on bank holidays.
The link shows an example of how this looks - you can pretty much ignore the first tab as that's just me working out some example dates to put into the main tab and the last tab is the bank holidays for the remainder of this year and next.

Thanks so much in advanced for reading this, and if anyone is able to help or has any ideas on how to even get started with this I’d really welcome your thoughts !
Okay, this was my best attempt at this for the time I've got now - This will work if the max amount of time that a scheduled meeting can take place is up to 2 weeks beyond the original limit - anything more than that and it will be off, but you could change that IF formula to account for that:
=IF(D2-(B2+13-WEEKDAY(B2))<0,0,IF(D2-(B2+13-WEEKDAY(B2))>7,D2-(B2+13-WEEKDAY(B2))-4,D2-(B2+13-WEEKDAY(B2))-2))

I'm trying to figure out a way to create an excel spreadsheet that will allow me to keep track of how many hours I've earned per each paid holiday my company offers, then keep track of how many hours I've used and what's remaining. But I'm unsure how to calculate this properly.
I could easily do the math my self as it's a simple lay out, but I'm trying to find a way that will just let me enter the numbers for earned and used and walk away from anything else.
What I'm trying to do is the follow:
Have multiple sections. In the first section it'll be my holidays. So in like Column A, working down I'd have New Years, Memorial Day, July 4th, etc. Column B working down would be time earned. But this would be labeled in each cell as "8 Hrs" or "4 hrs". Column C would be time used in the same format "4 hrs" "8 hrs". Then Column D would simple be hours remaining.
Now in the second section I'd have holiday hours earned, which is 2 weeks. Not too sure how to lay it out, and then I still have my sick days, but not sure if I should include that in section 2 or not with the vacation time.
I'd like a way to be able to simply Calculate B2 - C2 = D2. So 8 Hrs - 4 Hrs = 4 Hrs (to show 4 Hrs remaining for each line item.)
Problem is I'm unsure how to calculate remaining time simply because of the Hrs suffix. And with that I also can't calculate total time still remaining, both for holiday hours earn and vacation/sick hours.
Yes, it's easier for me to track it as 8 Hrs rather than 1 day, etc.
Any advice on how to formulate this. Or if anyone knows of a premade template that fits this type of scenario, that I could then just take and integrate into my own spreadsheet.
Sorry if this is confusing in any way.
Also, As I'm no excel wizard, unsure if this is relevant or not, but I'm using Excel 2016, as part of the Office suite.
Another option is to just leave the number as it is and label the column accordingly. Do you really need to see "hrs" in every cell when you know you are tracking hours?
Use a custom number format of,
[>1]0 \H\r\s;[=1]0 \H\r_);0 \H\r\s;[Red]#
... and treat all hours as integers.
This task seems easy enough yet I just can't figure a way of doing this without resorting to vba.
All I need is to know the number of hours an employee has used up on annual leave, based on a start and end date, and their hours of work.
To be more clear, this example shows one employees contracted hours from Monday to Sunday i.e. they work only Weds, Thurs, and Friday, for 7.5 hours each day.
Below shows the start and end date that the employee has chosen to take for annual leave. I need to calculate, based on their contracted hours, how much annual leave is used between the two dates. The answer would be 45 hours in this case.
Here's another approach - I've expanded the days between the start and end dates into an array then used the resulting day numbers to offset into the days of work range
=SUMPRODUCT(N(OFFSET(A3,0,WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A6&":"&B6)),2)-1)))
If you had a list of holiday dates somewhere (say in I3:N3) you could exclude them as follows
=SUMPRODUCT(N(OFFSET(A3,0,WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A6&":"&B6)),2)-1))*ISNA(MATCH(ROW(INDIRECT(A6&":"&B6)),I3:N3,0)))
- it is a bit long-winded but the only way I can think of at the moment.
