How do I set one day before today; for example I would like a warning the day before a birthday..
=IF(C10=TODAY(),HYPERLINK("mailto:"&D10&"?subject="&$C$4&"&body="&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($C$5,"$",B10),"#",$C$6),CHAR(10),"%0A"),"Send mail"),"")
Excel stores dates as numbers. You can easily do simple maths with dates, like adding or subtracting days. A day is 1. Seven days is 7.
Today() is a function that returns the current date. To get yesterday's date, subtract a day from Today() like =Today()-1. To get tomorrow's date add a day to Today() like =Today()+1.
This arithmetic can also be applied inside of more complex functions. The formula in your question looks at Today() and compares it to C10. If you want the same functionality if the date in C10 is "tomorrow", you nee to add a day to Today().
That's what Jeeped's comment means.
=IF(Today()+1=C10,[the rest of your formula]

I have a cell G4 with date and time in a format (Text string):
1/29/2020 1:34:24 PM
I need to convert it to DATE formatted cell. How to do that?
I have tried to get numbers and convert them to DATE with this formula:
=DATE((MID(G4;SEARCH("/";G4)+4;SEARCH("/";G4;SEARCH("/";G4)+1)-SEARCH("/";G4)+2));(MID(G4;SEARCH("/";G4)+1;SEARCH("/";G4;SEARCH("/";G4)+1)-SEARCH("/";G4)-1));(LEFT(G4;FIND("/";G4;1)-1)))
So:
I am extracting year:
=MID(G4;SEARCH("/";G4)+4;SEARCH("/";G4;SEARCH("/";G4)+1)-SEARCH("/";G4)+2)
Month
=MID(G4;SEARCH("/";G4)+1;SEARCH("/";G4;SEARCH("/";G4)+1)-SEARCH("/";G4)-1)
Day
=LEFT(G4;FIND("/";G4;1)-1)
I am getting as a result:
1.5.2022
I need it as it is now, but output should be 29.1.2020 in this case. Later I want to get day difference two that way formatted dates. Is it possible to do it with formula without performing any other cell formatting operations?
EDIT:
I got it working, the only problem is:
How to extract number (year) after third "/"? My current formula is not correct:
=MID(G4;SEARCH("/";G4)+4;SEARCH("/";G4;SEARCH("/";G4)+1)-SEARCH("/";G4)+2)
It does not function correct in this case:
2/5/2020 12:21:05 PM
EDIT:
I did it this way (I also had to minus G2 - F2, to get days difference):
=IFERROR(DAYS(MID(G2;SEARCH("/";G2)+1;SEARCH("/";G2;SEARCH("/";G2)+1)-SEARCH("/";G2)-1)&"."&LEFT(G2;FIND("/";G2;1)-1)&"."&MID(G2;FIND("/";G2;FIND("/";G2)+1)+1;4);MID(F2;SEARCH("/";F2)+1;SEARCH("/";F2;SEARCH("/";F2)+1)-SEARCH("/";F2)-1)&"."&LEFT(F2;FIND("/";F2;1)-1)&"."&MID(F2;FIND("/";F2;FIND("/";F2)+1)+1;4));"")
You probably need to replace an order of day.month.year and "." to "/" if you are using different date setting (region). I have one setup, so this seems to work.
FYI DATES in excel are stored as integers. They represent the number of days since 1900/01/01 with that date being 1. TIME is stored as a decimal representing fractions of a day or 24 hours. 0.5 represents noon. 24:00 is not an officially supported time in excel, but will work with some functions.
The DATE Formula is looking for three arguments representing YEAR, MONTH, DAY in that order.
DATE(Year, Month, Day)
You need to pull the text from your string representing these values. I find it easiest to pull each one individually in its own cell to ensure the part of the formula is working first then copy and past that part into the DATE formula so the whole calculation in the end can be performed in one cell.
YEAR
To get the year use the following formula:
MID(G4,FIND("/",G4,FIND("/",G4)+1)+1,4)
MONTH
To get the month use the following formula:
LEFT(G4,FIND("/",G4)-1)
DAY
To get the day use the following formula:
MID(G4,FIND("/",G4)+1,FIND("/",G4,FIND("/",G4)+1)-FIND("/",G4)
COMBINED FORMULA
Place the above formulas into the date formula as follows:
=DATE(MID(G4,FIND("/",G4,FIND("/",G4)+1)+1,4),LEFT(G4,FIND("/",G4)-1),MID(G4,FIND("/",G4)+1,FIND("/",G4,FIND("/",G4)+1)-FIND("/",G4)-1))
Note the only cell reference in the formula is G4. The results of the formula are not in an Excel Date format. Change the formatting of your cell to meet your needs. In your case I would apply a custom cell format of d.m.yyyy
If you have TEXTJOIN,
=TEXTJOIN("/",TRUE,INDEX(FILTERXML("<a>,<b>"&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(TEXT(A1,"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),"/","</b><b>")," ","</b>",1)&"</a>","//b"),N(IF({1},{2,1,3}))))
Depending on your version it may need to be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.
the reason the second did not work is that Excel actually changed it to a date and a date is a double, not text. So there are no / in the data. so we need to force back to the incorrect string.
Those for whom the TEXTJOIN function is not available can use this:
=DATE(FILTERXML("<DATA><A>" & SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1;"/";"</A><A>");" ";"</A><A>") & "</A></DATA>";"/DATA/A[3]");FILTERXML("<DATA><A>" & SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1;"/";"</A><A>");" ";"</A><A>") & "</A></DATA>";"/DATA/A[1]");FILTERXML("<DATA><A>" & SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1;"/";"</A><A>");" ";"</A><A>") & "</A></DATA>";"/DATA/A[2]"))
I want to show specific text for whether something is due for any given month in a financial year or overdue if that month has passed. The formula I am using is as below and works fine until I get to January.
I am using the numerals 7-12 in this formula to represent respective month but am unsure how to ensure the number 1 relates to the next year. For that matter I guess my equation below for overdue for December won't work either.
=IF(MONTH(TODAY())=12,"DUE",IF(MONTH(TODAY())<=12,"",IF(MONTH(TODAY())>=12,"Overdue")))
Any help would be appreciated
Instead of the month number, let A1 equal the first of the month in which it's due. (Note the first of the month is what you'll get if you just type in the month and year, eg August 2014)
=IF(TODAY()<A1,"",IF(TODAY()>EOMONTH(A1,0),"Overdue","Due"))
Here is a solution that you can use. This includes a =YEAR( function and an =AND function to extend on what you already have.
The formula you can use is here.
=IF(AND(MONTH(TODAY())=MONTH(A2),YEAR(TODAY())=YEAR(A2)),"Due",IF(AND(MONTH(TODAY())>MONTH(A2),YEAR(TODAY())>=YEAR(A2)),"Overdue",""))
you can add the year into the comparison which will eliminate your problems with January.
Just wrap the month check and year check in an =AND( function when both conditions are TRUE you can enter your result.

Hi there,
I am creating an Invoice which pulls data in from other sheets via VLOOKUP, the page is full of formulas and code (which I'm happy with), however I am having an issue when it comes to setting a date.
The issue:
When I use the formula to get my "1st Tues of the following Month" referencing cell (F3) the formula does not work. The date in (F3) has been generated by a VLOOKUP, so I believe my new formula is erroring out because it doesn't have a "Date", just a result of code.
Here are my formulas:
Cell(F3) =IF(TEXT(VLOOKUP($F$2,OrdSum,24,FALSE),"mmm-dd-yyyy")="","",(TEXT(VLOOKUP($F$2,OrdSum,24,FALSE),"mmm-dd-yyyy")))
Results: Jan-31-2014 (It is pulling the last day of the sales month which I manually write in every month from my OrdSum, I don't want it dynamic).
Cell(A14) =((EOMONTH(F3,0)+1)+7)+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY((EOMONTH(F3,0)+1)),2,1,0,6,5,4,3)
Results: #VALUE!
However if I have a hardcoded date in any cell the formula works and returns 11/02/2014
.
Even a simple =EOMONTH(F3,1) does not work, it results in the #VALUE! error.
Is there a workaround? Or do I have to write in the EOM manually on the Invoice as well.
Thanks in advance.
If the VLOOKUP is already pulling a date, you don't really need the TEXT part (you don't need it since if the VLOOKUP returns a blank, TEXT will convert it to 00-01-1900 anyway), this should suffice:
=IF(VLOOKUP($F$2,OrdSum,24,FALSE)="","",VLOOKUP($F$2,OrdSum,24,FALSE))
For cell F3. You only need to format F3 as mmm-dd-yyyy through custom formatting or date formatting.
EDIT: #Barryhoudini had a simpler formula for the 2nd Tuesday of the month. credit goes to him for this, I'm just elaborating a bit more here:
=EOMONTH(F3,0)+15-WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(F3,0)+5)
Will give the date of the 2nd Tuesday of the month. The last 5 is what determines what day of the week it is. You could perhaps re-write it like this to make it simpler:
=EOMONTH(F3,0)+15-WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(F3,0)+(7-3))
Where 3 is Wednesday. You can change the last number to mean these:
0 or 7 Sunday
1 Monday
2 Tuesday
3 Wednesday
4 Thursday
5 Friday
6 Saturday
The following formula, at the expense of some verbosity, does away with the VLOOKUP (which always makes spreadsheets brittle), and any formatting considerations.
If cell A1 contains a date, then
=1 + EOMONTH(A1,0) + MOD(3 - WEEKDAY(1 + EOMONTH(A1,0)),7)
returns a date that is the first Tuesday of the following month. Tuesday has a weekday value of 3 which is why this literal appears as the first term in the MOD(.
If you wanted to centre on, say Thursday (which has a weekday value of 5), then write
=1 + EOMONTH(A1,0) + MOD(5 - WEEKDAY(1 + EOMONTH(A1,0)),7)
I got some trouble with the SUMIFS function in Excel (2010). I want to make a sum of my hours per week, so I need a SUMIF. This is an example:
In F5 (and whole column F) is this function:
=IF(OR(A6="",WEEKNUM(A6,2)<>WEEKNUM(A5,2)),SUMIFS(E$2:E6,G$2:G6,"="&G5),"")
summing all values from E at the end of each week.
I would like to get rid of the extra column G that I need now, and use the WEEKNUM function instead. Then the function in F5 would look something like this
=IF(OR(A6="",WEEKNUM(A6,2)<>WEEKNUM(A5,2)),SUMIFS(E$2:E6,WEEKNUM(A$2:A6),"="&WEEKNUM(A5)),"")
but this example isn't working.
Any ideas?
You can't use any function to modify a range in SUMIFS.....and also I would say that WEEKNUM isn't best for this as you may get confusion between years; and also weeks at the start/end of the year may not have 7 days (because week 1 always starts on 1st Jan whatever the day of the week - according to how WEEKNUM works anyway). You can use WEEKDAY function more easily, e.g. in F5
=IF(OR(A6="",A5-WEEKDAY(A5,3)<>A6-WEEKDAY(A6,3)),SUMIFS(E$2:E5,A$2:A5,">="&A5-WEEKDAY(A5,3)),"")
That uses WEEKDAY to find the previous Monday and sums anything that is in the last week based on that - so this will work even through Dec/Jan
So I have a cell with 7/6/2012 10:26:42 inputted, I want to show the date difference from today in another cell.
I tried to extract 7/6/2012 with =LEFT(A1, Find(" ", A1, 1) -1) but turned out theres a value error.
The formula works when I make A1 '7/6/2012 10:26:42, however it is not ideal because I have to work with the whole column.
You can use the datedif function to find out difference in days.
=DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"d")
Quote from excel.datedif.com
The mysterious datedif function in Microsoft Excel
The Datedif function is used to calculate interval between two dates in days, months or years.
This function is available in all versions of Excel but is not documented. It is not even listed in the "Insert Function" dialog box.
Hence it must be typed manually in the formula box.
Syntax
DATEDIF( start_date, end_date, interval_unit )
start_date from date
end_date to date (must be after start_date)
interval_unit Unit to be used for output interval
Values for interval_unit
interval_unit Description
D Number of days
M Number of complete months
Y Number of complete years
YD Number of days excluding years
MD Number of days excluding months and years
YM Number of months excluding years
Errors
Error Description
#NUM! The end_date is later than (greater than) the start_date
or interval_unit has an invalid value.
#VALUE! end_date or start_date is invalid.
If that's a valid date/time entry then excel simply stores it as a number (days are integers and the time is the decimal part) so you can do a simple subtraction.
I'm not sure if 7/6 is 7th June or 6th July, assuming the latter then it's a future date so you can get the difference in days with
=INT(A1-TODAY())
Make sure you format result cell as general or number (not date)
For the difference between A1 and Today's date you could enter:
=ABS(TODAY()-A1)
which returns the (fractional) number of days between the dates.
You're likely getting a #VALUE! error in your formula because Excel treats dates as numbers.
DAYS(start_date,end_date):
For example:
DAYS(A1,TODAY())
Why don't you just make it easy and simple. If I need to know the number of days between today and say, March 10th, 2015, I can just enter the simple formula.
Lets say the static date is March 10th, 2015, and is in cell O5.
The formula to determine the number of days between today and O5 would be, =O5-Today()
Nothing fancy or DATEDIF stuff. Obviously, the cell where you type this formula in must have a data type of 'number'. Just type your date in normally in the reference cell, in this case O5.
=ROUND((TODAY()-A1)/365,0) will provide number of years between date in cell A1 and today's date
*In all instances the # refers to the cell number
You really don't need the datedif functions; for example:
I'm working on a spreadsheet that tracks benefit eligibility for employees.
I have their hire dates in the "A" column and in column B is =(TODAY()-A#)
And you just format the cell to display a general number instead of date.
It also works very easily the other way: I also converted that number into showing when the actual date is that they get their benefits instead of how many days are left, and that is simply
=(90-B#)+TODAY()
Just make sure you're formatting cells as general numbers or dates accordingly.
Hope this helps.
