I'm trying to get a formula that will break down the amount of times a user enters a contest each day.
I'm pretty new to this whole thing, basically putting it together using google to figure out the code I need to use/modify. Explaining why something works would be greatly appreciated so I can use it elsewhere!
Here's a dummy of the form I'm banging my head against.
I would like the form to be reusable, so on the Sorted form I have a date key that automatically fills out the week when you choose the first day. Because of this, I would like each formula to refer to this date key, instead of manually typing the google equivalent of 'February 1st, 2015' into the formula.
I've tried to use the SUMIFS formula, and I've run in to a few errors.
Apparently both pages have to be the same amount of rows, otherwise I get an 'Array arguments to SUMIFS are of different size'. I didn't want my 'sorted' sheet to be 1761 rows long, since all of the duplicate names will have been condensed and I wanted it prettier. Nuts to that! Guess I can hide the rows? Is there any other solution?
It looks like this works:
=SUMIFS(Entered!E3:E1000, Sorted!E3:E1000, Sorted!$E3, Entered!A3:A1000, date(Sorted!$C7))
Where entered!E: is the number of entries, sortedE: is the list of usernames, and E3 is the specific one I'm looking for. Then EnteredA3 is the list of dates and time, and Sorted!C7 is the specific date I'm looking for. I don't get any results!
If I click on my C7 and sorted!A, the little calender pops up, which means they are dates (I think?). One includes the hours:minutes:seconds and the other doesn't, which I think is my problem. I would like to have sorted!C7 be the entire day, and filter out all of those entries.
This is taking information entered via a google form which I won't have control of, so I can't really change the H:M:S additions to the date column.
Thinking ahead to day 2 and onwards, will the same formula work when sorted!C10 is C$7$+1? Is it not a date anymore?
I would also like to add up the amount of daily entries, in sorted!S7 and below. I've tried wrapping both the column of dates and the date from my day key in the date() thing, but it doesn't seem to work either.
=SUMIF(date(Entered!A3:A),date(Sorted!C7),Entered!E3:E)
It gives me a '1', and I have no idea where that comes from.
I haven't been able to find much about the google SUMIFS function, mostly how to replicate it from before it was a thing.
And for even MORE complexity:
I was wondering if it is possible to have UNIQUE find the IDs in entered!C, and return all the associated usernames. That pesky angelo changed their username to 'pants' midway through the contest, and I'd like to be able to see both names and add up both 'angelo' and 'pants' entries in the same line in my formulas.
I feel like I'll need a few hidden columns that have the UNIQUE ID number and the associated usernames that I pull into my Sorted!Username column, but I don't know how to search the IDs to find the different usernames.
I tried to google that, but I have no idea what I'm googling.
Whewph! That is a lot of questions, thanks for any help!
Too long for my taste, but you might try:
=sumifs(Entered!E:E,Entered!A:A,">="&$C$7,Entered!A:A,"<"&$C$7+1,Entered!B:B,$E3)
in Sorted!F3 and copied down to suit.
Oh my goodness, you are a hero!
My final code wound up being:
=IF(ISBLANK(Sorted!$E3)=TRUE, "", sumifs('Entered'!$E:$E,'Entered'!$A:$A,">="&$C$7,'Entered'!$A:$A,"<"&$C$7+1,'Entered'!$B:$B,$E3))
I changed the start and end points by making $C$7 into $C$7+1, and the ending one into +2. (In case anyone else is looking at this answer.)
I'm super pleased that it worked!
Using this I managed to add up each of the daily entries, just by adding up the columns they were in.
I gave up on the UNIQUE idea, if someone changes their username during the contest, then they can add up the two rows themselves.
Thanks again! I'd upvote you, but I can't yet.

Sorry for the convoluted title, but I find it to be a convoluted propblem
I have two lists, one of dates and one of counts pr. date.
Like this:
I would like it to end up like this:
where the dates have been moved to their corresponding cell, according to the time between the two dates.
I would prefer it to be doable in Google Sheets, but if thats impossible, Excel would suffice.
Anyone have a clue of how to this?
You can create the sequence of all dates as proposed by #BigBen in the comment using SEQUENCE like this
=SEQUENCE(MAX($A$1:$A$3)-MIN($A$1:$A$3)+1;1;MIN($A$1:$A$3))
And then in the next cell you can insert the following formule
=ArrayFormula(IFERROR(VLOOKUP($C$1:$C;{$A$1:$B$3};2;FALSE)))
I'm a beginner for tableau. I want to get the direct numbers for each row, but i get the number which are separate, how can i achieve this?
I've tried the sentence like:count("Implemented"), but I don't get the result I want.
For example, for the 1st row I want 3 10 10
not 111 10 112111111
Here is worksheet.
My code:
EDIT :
here is the photo for implementation opportunities
As you can see, the status is related to the date, I think maybe it causes the records which are counted 1by1.
Now the situation is that: i create the code which is related to the date, if i remove this from mark, it will cause the problem (the code is related to the date), but if i leave it, the system will always count it one by one. My code is not perfect but i can't find another one which can replace it.....
EDIT 2:
in short,what i want is the sum of the remaining opportunity:10

Remove DAY from Mark shelf. That detail is producing those separations.
Attaching a workbook with numbers similar to (but not exact due to proprietary issues) is almost always advised. You will get the right answer a lot sooner than just screenshots.
In any case, it seems as if the measure portion of the visualization is properly being summed by the date. Try selecting the measure, and manually selecting "sum" from the menu drop down. Here is a link for more detail.
Secondly, you can play around with table calculations. Click this link and read up on option 3.
I currently have a Google Sheet, with numerous sheets in it, to track contract deadlines for different clients. One of these sheets shows me all of the deadlines in Columns E:M for every contract. Each row is a separate contract.
I'm trying to create a separate sheet that will show me the client's name, found in column A, if a date in columns E:M is Today. That way I can look at one page and see all the clients that have a deadline today. Here is what I tried with no success:
=if('U/C(Dont Edit)'E2:M2=TODAY(),'U/C(Dont Edit)'A2,"")
"U/C(Dont Edit)" is the sheet that shows all of the contracts.
I believe the problem lies when I try to apply "=Today()" to a range(E:M). It seems to work fine if I just use E2=Today(). It looks like I could accomplish my goal using If statements within If statements, but that gets very messy very quickly and I'm hoping there is a better way.
Thanks in advance for your help.
You can do it with the COUNTIF() function per row:
=IF(COUNTIF(E2:M2,TODAY())>0,A2,"")
But I think a better solution is to use the FILTER() function. It will give you a list of names:
=FILTER(A2:A,(E2:E=TODAY())+(F2:F=TODAY())+(G2:G=TODAY())+(H2:H=TODAY())+
(I2:I=TODAY())+(J2:J=TODAY())+(K2:K=TODAY())+(L2:L=TODAY())+(M2:M=TODAY()))
I suggest #dePatinkin's solution (for and additional column, say N, containing the COUNTIF formula from Row2 downwards) in combination with a query (in another sheet):
=query('U/C(Dont Edit)'!A:N,"select * where N is not NULL")
This assumes your existing sheet has the columns labelled.
You might combine the above with Conditional formatting to indicate which column has the date in it (today) that triggered the row selection.
I'm a new BIRT user, and I've been having trouble trying to get the behavior I want for my report. I've created a vertically-oriented crosstab with row groupings on month + year. However, each grouping has completely different columns and this ends up with a lot of empty space. It looks like this:
Note all that empty space. It makes the report end up being huge, horizontally. I'd like it to be closer to something like this (quick mock-up):
Right now, the report is generated based on start and end date report parameters, and it looks fine with just one month. I was thinking I could have the crosstab in its entirety be repeated, each one with its own single-month time period, but I cannot find any way to do this. Would that be the correct way of doing this? Is there a better way?
I figured out how to do it. I made the crosstab a sub-report of a scripted dataset of time periods, and then filtered the crosstab on those time periods. Feels sort of hacky and I gotta think there's a better way of doing it, but at least I've got what I wanted.
I was trying to do a calculated field and I cannot get it to work right.
First I tried to duplicate what I did in access...
=DateDiff("d",[90 Days to Exp],[Expiration])
but that gives me an error
I did some research and found something that gave me valid calculations...
window_sum(datediff('day',
lookup(min([90 Days to Exp]), 0),
min([Expiration])))
that only shows 90 days which I already knew
I want to make sure it is doing a count down of days to "Expiration" so I changed it to...
window_sum(datediff('day',
lookup(min(NOW()), 0),
min([Expiration])))
also tried....
window_count(datediff('day',
lookup(min(NOW()), 0),
min([Expiration])))
still a valid calc but the numbers are way off.... I tried min and max with and without... and I still can't seem to get an accurate count down
Step back. Instead of giving us random pieces of code, explain what you're trying to achieve (what you expect as a result) and what your db looks like (for instance, what are the fields).
I'll give a solution to what I think you're trying to achieve on what I think you have as database.
I believe you have a database that each entry is a product that have an expiration date ([Expiration]). What I think you're trying to achieve is to know how many days are left until expiration date.
So, if you want to calculate this for each entry in your database, the formula should be:
DATEDIFF('day',NOW(),[Expiration])
It's very straight forward, you're calculating how many days there are between today and expiration date
I have no idea why you're using table calculations in your suggestions, but if this calculations should not be done for each entry (but rather for a collection of entries), then table calculations can be useful, but it's impossible to suggest anything if I don't understand precisely what you want
