I created a simple form with in Google Drive. The User choose a Date and a checkbox. In further calculations I have to compare the "date". But in the answers it isn´t shown as a date. I can set the format of the column to date and everything is fine, but all the new answers dont have a format.
The formated dates are aligned left in the sheat and all the new unformated dates a right aligned.
Is there any script wich converts new dates to the right format? Or any other suggestions?
cheers
I have created an auxiliary column. There I enter the following formula in the second row. This is filled in automatically for all following lines.
The date is on the "C" column.
=ArrayFormula( IFERROR( if(C2:C<>0;(TEXT(day(C2:C);"00")&"."&text(month(C2:C);"00")&"."&YEAR(C2));"")))

I have two dimensions in Google Data Studio in the format Date (From,To) from an external source and now I want to display all days within the time space individually.
Ex: 01.10.2020 - 05.10.2020
---result as table---
01.10.2020
02.10.2020
03.10.2020
04.10.2020
05.10.2020
That's it. I just can't find a solution.
I understand that your ultimate goal is to join the two dates into a single field in the format 01.10.2020 - 05.10.2020.
To do this, you can create a new field that contains the formula:
CONCAT(Date1, ' - ',Date2)
And after, insert this new field in your table. The output format of this formula will be a text type element.
As the title suggests I'm wondering if there is a way to count days from 1 Column from the current day, then when filling in another column it stops counting the difference in days?
I'm using the following formula (found online)
={"Days";ArrayFormula(if(A3:A="",,int(B3:I)-left(A3:A,10)))}
Column A being where my date of entry is, column B is a hidden column with every row set to the
=Today()
I have another column, Column C that I will enter the date manually after date of completion, at which point I would like it to then stop counting the days and show me the number of days between Column A and C (Date 1 and Date 2)
I'm not overly experienced in google sheets but I'm thinking maybe there's a way to
check if column C is empty, if so carry on with todays date, if it's not empty to
calculate Column C - Column A?
Would making an new column for checking if the completion date has been entered work?
ISBLANK(C:C)
If so would it be possible to get one formula to check whether True or False and determine what 2 dates to work with? Lets say Column D is for ISBLANK the following is what I think of
={"Days";ArrayFormula(if(CD:D="False",,int(C3:C)-left(A3:A,10)))}
={"Days";ArrayFormula(if(D3:D="True",,int(B3:B)-left(A3:A,10)))}
When I try this I have no luck and get a "Result was not expanded automatically, please insert more rows (1)" error message
Any help would be appreciated!
Apply the formula :
=if(B2="",today(),B2)-A2
at C2. And drag downwards. That's should do.
Please share if it work/understandable/not.
Sorry it's a bit hard to understand this question, if you could post a current and desired screenshot example that would help I think.
So, I think your best bet here is to review this video if you're wanting sheets to auto-input a time entry when a cell is modified:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=548dD3iXetg
And it will show you how to script a cell to enter in a time entry when another cell is edited, and then you could use a variation of formulas to calculate the difference between the days of the original minus the date from the script (such as the once referenced below or by #p.phidot )
So for an example, once you script the time entry to work in the background of the sheet, you have a formula using an IF statement to make it pull between your today date or the new date being entered.
My cell references below are an example as I can't follow the question sheet.
=if(b2="",A2-B2,A2-C2)
This way if b2 is not blank it'll do a2-c2. You could also use ISBLANK if you like.
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:
Desired output example
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 😊
A lot of people have problems with displaying null values in dates in graphs in Tableau. Tableau automatically joins values that actually exist for specific dates and neglects missing data. I've solved this problem converting my datetime date to a date itself (makedate). Then I right-clicked on the date axis and clicked Format. Clicked "Pane", Special Values -> Text: 0, Marks: Show at Default Value. Next I clicked on Date pane in Columns and made it discrete. This unblocked the possibility to Show Missing Values. I right-clicked on Date axis and chose this option. I clicked on Nulls on the Graph and chose to show them at default values. Finally, I converted Date pane back to Continuous.
Hope this helps someone.
You could try this formula using IFNULL function
IFNULL(MONTH([DATE]),0)
Another function you can use is ZN() instead of IFNULL() which does the same thing as above, except that the default value of zero is baked into the function.
I'm not sure that a formula that returns zero for a date makes sense in most applications though. Sometimes it is better to leave the nulls and then decide how to visualize them. Otherwise, you are masking missing information and replacing it with possibly misleading information.

I am working on a home accounting template (and could not find any good one :-/), so I am creating one for each month. Both in my expenses and my incomes, I would like to have a date column where I just have to insert the "day" (e.g.: 22) and it automatically fills the rest with the current month and year (or I could set them in another cell).
For example: 22 + ENTER would return: 22/12/2014
If I do this, I automatically get a default date: 22/01/1900
I do not know if it is possible to change this defaul date depending on the current one or any other value.
I have tried with a different strategy: if the amount column is not empty, fill in with today's date: =IF(A3="";"";TODAY())
The problem is that I do not always register today's expenses, so I need to change it manually. I was just wondering if this is possible and there is a better way (maybe a macro?).
You need Excel to modify the cell contents after you press ENTER. The only option seems to be a Macro using the Worksheet_Change event.
Please check out this other question. I think that will help.
This can be achieved with simple formatting and use of controls that are available in Excel. VBA will give you drastically more flexibility, however the request above can be accomplished without learning VBA.
I have included a sample file here.
Steps to recreate:
Create a range of months. I created a range including the current month through 12/2014
Insert a combo box from the developer tab. Right click and select Format Control. On the Control tab, input the range you just created and then select a "linked cell". This will insert an integer to indicate which item you picked in the list, starting at 1.
Use the attached formula to add the DAY that you enter in the first column and VLOOKUP the month and year from the value chosen in the combo box.
Enhancements: I used conditional formatting to change the text color of the days you enter to WHITE. This way you won't see them. I also included some checking in the VLOOKUP formula: the day you enter must be a number and must be non-blank for a date to populate.
