I have lists of dates and corresponding numbers. I want to compare/contrast these lists. However, they don't all have entries/data on every date. Some have data for the same date, others don't. I want all of my lists to have all of the dates on a timeline, so I can create analysis charts against them. Is there a formula to add missing dates to a list? Do I need to create a boilerplate of my date range for the formula enter image description hereto check against?
thanks!

I have a group of individual dates on one sheet, and I'm looking for a quick way to filter by each individual date (not the range) on another sheet.
Group of individual dates
Values I'm trying to filter
Thank you.
I tried separating the dates by comma and putting them into the 'filter by - exact date' part of the filter tool. It will only recognize one date, not multiple.
I'm guessing what you may want to do. But if you want to filter by formula your range according to the dates match your second range you can do something like this:
=FILTER (Sheet1!A:O,INDEX(IFERROR (MATCH(Sheet1!A:A,Sheet2!A:A,0))))
Change the ranges accordingly. I used sheet 2 as the set of dates you wanted to filter by
I would like to be able to expand a dataset to include one row per "person" per month, filtered by Start and End Date.
Consider the example below:
This is the desired outcome
Inputs are a start and end date, which could be anywhere between the start of a given financial year (01/04/20XX) and the end of that financial year (31/03/20XY).
The output rows contain each month comprised between these 2 dates for which there is a matching entry in the input (see example output)
I have an example sheet here.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
Try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SPLIT(UNIQUE(QUERY(FLATTEN(IF(DAYS(C2:C4,B2:B4)>=SEQUENCE(1,1000,0),A2:A4&","&TEXT(B2:B4+SEQUENCE(1,1000,0),"YYYY-MMM")&","&D2:D4,"")),"where Col1 is not null")),","))
Result:
This works however the only limitation is you have to manually edit the formula to specifically define the End range. It crashes when I set it to use the whole column using the formula below:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SPLIT(UNIQUE(QUERY(FLATTEN(IF(DAYS(C2:C,B2:B)>=SEQUENCE(1,1000,0),A2:A&","&TEXT(B2:B+SEQUENCE(1,1000,0),"YYYY-MMM")&","&D2:D,"")),"where Col1 is not null")),","))
I am assuming this is because of the Query function which runs a Google Visualization API Query Language query across data making it very long and heavy processing.
Explanation:
To explain how this works using the formula from this link: Google sheets - List of dates between a list of start and end dates to get the dates between, but I changed the IF to return all combined 4 columns. Converted it to date format using TEXT (YYYY-MMM). I then used the UNIQUE to remove duplicates so it will only show the months. Then make use of SPLIT to split across 3 columns.

Hope this helps!
Tableau will generally show every single date within table output of the date ranges filtered for. Is there a way to only show the first and last date in the table for the date of ranges selected?
I created an image of the desired output in excel. Link below:

Thank you in advance!
The feature that will address your goal is called a Level of Detail (LOD) calculation. They have many uses and take various forms. I suggest reading about the in the online help.
But, to answer your question, the LOD calc to find the first (i.e. minimum) value in a date field called, say, Transaction Date, is;
{ MIN([Transaction Date]) }
The formula for the latest value is left as an exercise for the reader 😊
I need to use Google Sheets to highlight a student's name if their birthday is today. I have Column A with student's name and a column D with student's birthdate containing the year. I need to highlight the cell that contains their name if it is their birthday today.
I have found Conditional Formatting formulas that show me if it is their birthday month, and those that show me if they were born today, but I do not want to include the year, and I want it to be for only today. I have tried to tinker with these formulas for a couple of hours to make one suit my needs, with no luck.
You can use the following formula to highlight dates that match today's month and day.
IF(AND(MONTH(B1)=MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(B1)=DAY(TODAY())),TRUE,FALSE)
For anyone looking for where to apply this formula for conditional formmating purposes, do the following:
In your sheet, select the column or range of cells you want to format, then go to Format > Conditional formatting, and choose "Custom formula is" from the "Format cells if..." menu to set your formula (then choose the other formatting options you want).
I'm trying to build a cross tab report in Crystal XI that has dates, grouped by the month as column heading, and have 2 questions I'm trying to find answers to.
1: Is there any way to display a month even if there are no records to be summarized in that month? i.e. no orders for March, but want to display Jan, Feb, Mar.? I'm pretty sure I can create a dates table and use that spoof it, but don't want to go that route as the database is part of a Vendor's package and I don't want to get to crazy in there.
2: Is there a way of specifying or limiting how many columns go across? For example in a forecast cross tab I only owant current month and the next six months to show up. I suppose I can do a date range on the selection criteria, but that seems a bit kludgy to me.
Thanks for any answers
Short answer: No.
I've seen discussions about workarounds involving creation of temporary tables, but I've never tried any such solutions myself.
I would go with the date range on the selection criteria. You could make those dates parameters for more convenient useage. If you have sevral cross-tabs that should have different date ranges you could put the crosstabs in sub-reports.
