I have two columns with a start (column B) and end (column C) date range, and a cell (G1) with a date.
I want to be able to look at columns B and C and return true if G1 falls in between any of the date range of B and C, and if G1 is not within the date, return false.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
You can use the following formula
=IFERROR(IF(
QUERY(L2:M14,"WHERE L <= DATE '"&TEXT(K2, "yyyy-mm-dd")&"'
AND M >= DATE '"&TEXT(K2, "yyyy-mm-dd")&"'")
>0,TRUE),FALSE)
(Please adjust ranges to your needs)
Functions used:
QUERY
Assuming this formula is used on row 2, this will work:
=ISBETWEEN($G$1,$B2,$C2)
Change $B2 and $C2 appropriately if you're not on row 2.
Note that the ISBETWEEN() function has two additional optional boolean parameters to control whether the start/end dates are inclusive or exclusive for the range; both default to TRUE for inclusive endpoints.

I am trying to separate a date & time stamp (e.g 01/09/2017 00:08:05) in cell C2 of column C in to two columns as Date (01/09/2017)and time (00:08:05).
The cell format of the date & time stamp (C2) is Custom (JJJJ"-"MM"-"TT" "hh":"mm":"ss)
In cell K2, the function =LEN(C2) yields 15 instead of 19. Why is it so?
In cell L2, the function =FIND(" ", C2,1) yields #value error. Why is it so? I expect it to return 11.
In cell M2, the function =LEFT(C2,8) yields 42979.00. The cell format if M2 is Date (2012-03-14)
I want to count the dates. 1 date = 1, 2 dates = 2...
I have 2 dates and I want to prepare a formula if I have 2 dates, then this is total 2.
Adjust the range references to suit your data.
=COUNTA(C2:G2)
Where C2:G2 is your first row under datum. This equation will count the number of non blank cells.
If 4.9. is a number an not text, then you could also use
=COUNT(C2:G2)
In Excel you could create a new column that checks if the cell is a date by doing =ISERROR(DAY(A1)).
If it is a date the formula will return FALSE.
Then simply count all the cells with FALSE by doing =COUNTIF(B1:B10;FALSE)
Here B1:B10 should be replaced with the cellrange of your new column that holds the true or false values
Hi I am a newbie and have a problem I have been trying to solve for weeks. I have a table imported from excel with dates in text format (because dates go back to 1700s) Most are in the format "mmmyyyy", so it is relatively easy to add "1" to the date, convert to date format, and sort in correct date order. The problem I have is that some of the dates in the table are simply "yyyy", and some are empty. I cannot find an expression that works to convert these last two to eg 1 Jan yyyy and 1 Jan 1000 within the same expression. Is this possible, or would I need to do this in two queries? Sorry if this question is very basic - I cannot find an answer anywhere.
TIA
You can do something like:
Public Function ConvertDate(Byval Expression As Variant) As Date
Dim Result As Date
If IsNull(Expression) Then
Result = DateSerial(1000, 1, 1)
ElseIf Len(Expression) = 4 Then
Result = DateSerial(Expression, 1, 1)
Else
Result = DateValue(Right(Expression, 4) & "/" & Left(Expression, 3) & "/1")
End If
ConvertDate = Result
End Function
In SSRS,how to count the number of dates present in a column?
I am developing a report where I need to display the total number of dates where Date_of_Delivery.Value is updated in a specific month & also I need to display the same for where Date_of_Delivery.Value is Not updated.
Please insist me.
If you want a count of the number of times a date is in a certain time period, you would use the IFF to perform the check and then SUM the results.
=SUM(IIF(Fields!Date_of_Delivery.Value >= CDATE("01/01/2016") AND Fields!Date_of_Delivery.Value <= CDATE("01/31/2016"), 1, 0)
The IFF will check to see if the Date of Delivery is between two dates and return 1 if true otherwise 0. The SUM then sums up all the results.
You should probably use some Parameters for your date so you can just change the parameters instead of the code in the report.
=SUM(IIF(Fields!Date_of_Delivery.Value >= Parameters!START_DATE.Value AND Fields!Date_of_Delivery.Value <= Parameters!END_DATE.Value, 1, 0)
I simply want to generate a series of dates 1 year apart from today.
I tried this
CurveLength=30;
t=zeros(CurveLength);
t(1)=datestr(today);
x=2:CurveLength-1;
t=addtodate(t(1),x,'year');
I am getting two errors so far?
??? In an assignment A(I) = B, the number of elements in B and
Which I am guessing is related to the fact that the date is a string, but when I modified the string to be the same length as the date dd-mmm-yyyy i.e. 11 letters I still get the same error.
Lsstly I get the error
??? Error using ==> addtodate at 45
Quantity must be a numeric scalar.
Which seems to suggest that the function can't be vectorised? If this is true is there anyway to tell in advance which functions can be vectorised and which can not?
To add n years to a date x, you do this:
y = addtodate(x, n, 'year');
However, addtodate requires the following:
x must be a scalar number, not a string.
n must be a scalar number, not a vector.
Hence the errors you get.
I suggest you use a loop to do this:
CurveLength = 30;
t = zeros(CurveLength, 1);
t(1) = today; % # Whatever today equals to...
for ii = 2:CurveLength
t(ii) = addtodate(t(1), ii - 1, 'year');
end
Now that you have all your date values, you can convert it to strings with:
datestr(t);
And here's a neat one-liner using arrayfun;
datestr(arrayfun(#(n)addtodate(today, n, 'year'), 0:CurveLength))
If you're sequence has a constant known start, you can use datenum in the following way:
t = datenum( startYear:endYear, 1, 1)
This works fine also with months, days, hours etc. as long as the sequence doesn't run into negative numbers (like 1:-1:-10). Then months and days behave in a non-standard way.
Here a solution without a loop (possibly faster):
CurveLength=30;
t=datevec(repmat(now(),CurveLength,1));
x=[0:CurveLength-1]';
t(:,1)=t(:,1)+x;
t=datestr(t)
datevec splits the date into six columns [year, month, day, hour, min, sec]. So if you want to change e.g. the year you can just add or subtract from it.
If you want to change the month just add to t(:,2). You can even add numbers > 12 to the month and it will increase the year and month correctly if you transfer it back to a datenum or datestr.
