I'm trying to get 2 date limits from date restrict to calculate the difference between them.
So for example, I get January 1 and January 7, and subtract the second result from the first one.
Theoretically I should end up with the amount of new references to the given searched words in the week, right?
The thing is, sometimes I get a negative result for this, like -60000. How come 60000 references could disappear from one week to another?
Am i misinterpreting the way dateRestrict works?
my url so far is like:
first query:
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?q=MYSEARCH&dateRestrict=d209&key=MYKEY&cx=MYID
second query:
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?q=MYSEARCH&dateRestrict=d203&key=MYKEY&cx=MYID
The field of the response I'm using is the totalResults.

I work for an organization and I am working on a way to better organize our part numbers that have expiration dates. I've started off by making an Excel sheet that has the part number multiple times based on the expiration date and then had the matching quantities of that expiration date. What im trying to do is what you always do in life, if something is going to go bad use up the one that will expire first. But now trying to do this in an excel table automatically. This is my Ex: my master log where they will put in the Part#, expiration date, and quantity, this is where most info will be pulled from.
I am now on to taking away our companies forecasted usage of these parts away from these quantities to show an overall usage over the months and pairing the intersecting expiration dates. I’ve got the Usage by using a pivot table to total these part numbers quantities. And I’ve made a chart mapping the overall usage to part quantity forecast with it being flagged if the expiration date interferes with the actual date. This is the forcasting for what we plan to use of each part #
This is me subtracting the usage number from the inventory of those part numbers and it being flagged when it expires.
=IF((IF((VLOOKUP($F60,Expires!$1:$1048576, 10, FALSE))<Sheet1!G$58, "Bad", "Good"))="good", T33, "Expired")
I used this function, my vlookup pulling from my first sheet and pulling the part numbers expiration date and if it is <the date up top (9/1,10/1 etc.) then it will be flagged as expired and wont even show the usage. T33 is simply pulling the fromual from another table which is just quantity- usage. Please lmk if this looks right my vlookup turns out pulls the latest expiration date from the multiple part #s.
But that is with total quantities, not separated based on the part number expiration dates. What I am wondering is how can I make a table like this but subtracts the usage from quantity of the part number that will expire first? Then after that quantity hits zero it takes away the usage from the next one due to expire? But also I want the Numbers to be able to auto populate from the sheet where the user enters the data (master log).
So this is what it will be doing and will look like the table above multiple of the same part number. Whats happening now
But needs to look like this Final table and add the part number to the list and quantity as they are entered in the master log. I was trying to do a Vlookup(MIN and take the part number from the other table based on the lowest expiration date first but I don’t think excel is capable of that, I’m not sure here.
Please help, thank you!
oversimplified i have two columns: Date and Text; I want to check my current amount of vacation days based on the first date in row 2, so i came up with the following formula:
="Available vacation days: "&YEARFRAC(A2;TODAY())*12*(25/12)
I calculate the fraction of the year based on the first date and todays date, multiply it by 12 to get months and multiply it again by the total amount of vacation days in my contract per month. Now i got another formula to collect me all cells in column B containing "Vacation", pretty straight forward:
=COUNTIF(B:B;"Vacation")
Now the interesting part - i got the formula who gives me a boolean if a datetime matches the 24th or 31st of december:
=AND(OR(DAY(A53)=24;DAY(A53)=31);MONTH(A53)=12)
I want to count vacation days happening on a 24th or 31st of december as a half-vacation day (0.5), and otherwise fully (as a 1). Then i want to combine my first statement with this result and subtract the used vacation days. I read about VLOOKUP and XLOOKUP but am unsure if this fits this purpose. I want to avoid having an extra column with my boolean returns and rather have this one cell giving me all the information combined.
Without introducing another column, and using DAY and MONTH
It's nearly impossible, and just unnecessarily so...
Please reconsider this, what will happen if you want to add 4th of July as a holiday?
Your formula =AND(OR(DAY(A53)=24;DAY(A53)=31);MONTH(A53)=12) only works for 1 row at a time. So, we can't ever use it with a list, because you will get the whole list as a result every single time. You can't divide them into smaller lists and join them together, there is no such functionality without VBA.
In the future, do not set arbitrary constraints like "no additional columns", you can hide them if you don't like them. And if you don't need them, remove unnecessary rows like non-vacation rows. They are irrelevant, so why not separate the two.
Just to prove my point, here's the solution you wanted:
Solution
=COUNTIFS(B2:B9;"Vacation") - (COUNT(IFERROR(FILTER(FILTER(FILTER(A2:A9;B2:B9="Vacation");MONTH(FILTER(A2:A9;B2:B9="Vacation"))=12);DAY(FILTER(FILTER(A2:A9;B2:B9="Vacation");MONTH(FILTER(A2:A9;B2:B9="Vacation"))=12))=31);0))+(COUNT(IFERROR(FILTER(FILTER(FILTER(A2:A9;B2:B9="Vacation");MONTH(FILTER(A2:A9;B2:B9="Vacation"))=12);DAY(FILTER(FILTER(A2:A9;B2:B9="Vacation");MONTH(FILTER(A2:A9;B2:B9="Vacation"))=12))=24);0))))*0,5
It works, but it's a pain to read, use and maintain.
A2:A9 refers to the dates column
B2:B9 refers to the text column
So in the future, the last thing you want to do is set arbitrary constraints. Furthermore, why use functions like MONTH and DAY when we can just read the text? That way you could even create a table of holidays to search for instead. That will be no fun task with this setup. (Oh, and if it's because of the year, just strip it away from the text when you want to know only the month and day.
Best of luck!
I have a column that needs split based on "morning" and "evening" although the morning and evening times move every day (it's based on sidereal day). Calling them morning and evening is a little deceiving though because eventually the time will creep into the next day and I want to keep the groups distinct. It is more accurate to call them group 1 and group 2. It just so happens that they are around 12 hours apart so it looks like you can just separate based on time of day but once the later group creeps into the AM hours, it would start to get counted as "morning" and the earlier group would roll into the afternoon and be counted as "afternoon" See screenshot below for example data.
I need them split so I can perform operations on the value column so I can distinguish the values in the first group from the values in the second group. I thought of doing some sort of flip flop algorithm based on the previous cell but there may be a more elegant way to do it. Also, it's not shown on the example data but sometimes the day may skip but the times more or less continue in the same pattern of increasing by 3-5 minutes each day.
A date with a time stamp is stored as a number in Excel. Days are stored as whole numbers, time is stored in decimals. So, disregarding the date part, look at the decimal of the number and determine if that is before or after the time you want.
0.5 for example is midday, or 12 noon. So if the decimal part of A1 is less than 0.5, the time stamp would be in the morning.
=if(A1-int(A1)<0.5,"before noon","after noon")
It is not clear from your question how sidereal relates to the data in your sample.
Let's say I wanna calculate my next paycheck date every day in excel. I get money each 5th day of the month. How can i do it?
Expected outcome:
Perhaps like this:
=DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2)+IF(DAY(A2)<=5,0,1),5)
Or:
=EOMONTH(A2,-(DAY(A2)<=5))+5
Edit
As requested a short summary of how I got to the above:
Initially started of with thinking about checking the number of the day of the month in an IF-statement.
=IF(DAY(A2)<=5,A2+5-DAY(A2),EDATE(A2+5-DAY(A2),1))
This would check if the returned value is smaller or equal to 5. If so, then it would add the remainder of 5 minus the returned value to the current date. If false, then it would use EDATE to get the same date of the previous calculation in the next month.
Since this looked still like it had redundant parts I started looking for a different approach where I wouldn't have to do the same calculation twice. Ended up with:
=EOMONTH(A2,IF(DAY(A2)<=5,-1,0))+5
Yet, still the IF is redundant because I need either to get a -1 or a zero as the second argument in EOMONTH. Therefor we just need the expression to return TRUE or FALSE and multiply it by -1 or rather -.
I'm trying to create a simple leave planner application using Sharepoint. I've got the bulk of it working but I'm going back to do edge cases now like Bank Holidays and half days. So I've added a checkbox column and if ticked, I want it to deduct 0.5 from the total value (half-day). The formula that's working for the full days is:
=(DATEDIF(dateFrom,dateTo,"D"))-INT(DATEDIF(dateFrom,dateTo,"D")/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY(dateTo)-WEEKDAY(dateFrom))<0,2,0)+1
So I just created another two columns called shalfday and ehalfday. If they're ticked then deduct 0.5 from the total (If dates match and both ticked then deduct 0.5 still).
I've tried playing round with things like
-IF([shalfday],"0.5")
and other variants as google results are not being too kind this morning but they're returning #NAME? variables.
Any pointers on the syntax or what I should be looking at?
I would suggest:
-IF([shalfday],0.5,0)
Since you are trying to subtract you should work with integers and not strings (i removed the quotation marks).
I ended up doing this another way. I instead asked the user to specify how many half days were in their leave in another site column and used this suffix in the formula. It also got rid of the validation check to make sure the user wasn't taking two half days on 1 days leave.
New site column called 'Total Half Days' set to number, default value of 0;
Appended to original formula:
-([Total Half Days]/2)+1
Full formula:
=(DATEDIF(dateFrom,dateTo,"D"))-INT(DATEDIF(dateFrom,dateTo,"D")/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY(dateTo)-WEEKDAY(dateFrom))<0,2,0)-([Total Half Days]/2)+1
