Have a column of dates which i need to compare to a specific time of the year, which establishes what calculation needs to be applyed then depending on the outcome apply conditional formating to highlight an adjcent cell, but need to remove the YY element as the contents spans multiple years.
if the date in A1 is between 1st Jan & 14th Mar use -8
if the date in A1 is between 15th Mar & 15th Oct use -17
if the date in A1 is between 16th Oct & 31st Dec use -8
Then deduct the above value from B1 to give a target
for each row (from 3 onwards)
if the target is < the value in n then change background orange in f
and repeat.
Any help would be greatly welcome, thank you.
Is this Excel? If so, then it has all kinds of conditional formatting stuff built right into the application; no programming needed.

This is the code I currently have:
txtWeek = Format(Date, "ww")
What code can I add so that when I print "txtweek" it shows up as two digits so for the current date as Week 01.
Format it once again.
Format(Format(Date, "ww"), "0#")
I am looking to save an individual worksheet from a workbook with today's date in the filename. ex. (c:\HotDogS\sales\Daily_12_04_16.xslx)
The problem I am encountering is getting the date to show right in the filename.
I have 1 cell that has the simple formula of =TODAY(). The cell is formatted for mm/dd/yy.
The formula I am trying to use to save the date for the sheet is:
=left(B3,2)&"_"&mid(B3,4,2)&"_"&right(B3,2)
So I am expecting a date of 12/04/16 to come out as 12_04_16, but I am getting is, 42_08_08.
Can somebody shed some light on this??
Thank you!!
Assuming TODAY is 4 December 2016, i.e. serial day number 42708, your formula is:
=left(B3,2)&"_"&mid(B3,4,2)&"_"&right(B3,2)
Left(B3,2) is 42. Mid(B3,4,2) is 08. Right(B3,2) is 08.
So your final result is 42_08_08.
You probably want to use (as an Excel formula):
=TEXT(B3,"mm\_dd\_yy")
Or in VBA you could use
Format(Range("B3").Value, "mm_dd_yy")
Excel stores dates as the number of days (and fractions of a day) since 0 January 1900. Therefore
1 January 1900 is day 1
31 January 1900 is day 31
1 February 1900 is day 32
29 February 1900 (even though it doesn't exist - but the bug has been maintained for backward compatibility) is day 60
1 January 1901 is day 367
4 December 2016 is day 42708
NOW() is day 42709.328 (it's about 7:52am on 5 December 2016 at the moment)
Referencing a cell formatted as date returns the underlying date serial number.
To get a date formatted as you want use
=TEXT(B3,"dd\_mm\_yy")
Need help!
I have put into row 6 in Excel dates starting from 1st November, 2016 (Cell F6) to 31st December, 2017 (Cell PO6).
Cell B1 shows drop down list of months and cell B2 shows years.
I need a tip on how to set formula which will allow me to show only columns of month and year which are chosen in cells B1 and B2. For Example, if i choose November 2016, only columns F:AI will be visible, while columns AJ:PO will be hidden.
Please provide suggestions on how can this formula be formatted in different way, if you have suggestions.
You should write a VBA code combining if...then with
Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("C").Hidden = True
The if...then guide is here and the hide column guide is here.
I need to automatically set a value of 8.45 hours work for the winter schedule (01 October till 15 June) and 6 hours work for a summer schedule (16 June till 30 September) for a time sheet done in Microsoft Excel.
The equation I am trying is the following:
=IF(AND(DATE($G$1,6, DAY(15))>=(DATE($G$1-1, 10, DAY(1))));(DATE($G$1,6, DAY(15))<A8;8.45;"")
But this keeps on returning formula errors and this still omits the rate value for the summer schedule.
$G$1 is the year that is manually inputted for the yearly time sheet.
A8 is the current date.
Any guidance into this equation would be appreciate.
With best regards Fab
Edit
Thanks DirkReichel, Scott Craner, Alex Bell, Michael Uray for your great intervention.
I tried all the suggestions but some returned a =VALUE error and some did not omit the winter schedule as from the 1 October ->
This is the correct equation:
=IF(AND(DATE($G$1,9,30)>=A8,DATE($G$1,6,15)<=A8),6,8.45)
The equation checks the current date being A8 and checks if it falls withing the summer period (date range). If current date falls within the summer period the value is returned to 6, if the current date falls outside the summer period, it returns a value of 8.45.
Thanks to all that guided.
Depends on the regional settings, you may use comma "," instead of ";" as shown in the following example:
=IF(AND(NOW()>DATEVALUE("6/15/2016"), NOW()<DATEVALUE("9/1/2016")),6,8.45)
Hope this may help.
Try this:
=IF(AND(DATE($G$1,6,15)>=A8,DATE($G$1-1,10, 1)<=A8),8.45,6)
The following solution should work for you:
A1 is the date which gets checked, the formula is placed in B1.
On this way you can pull down a list of dates and formulas in your sheet.
=IF(AND(A1>DATE(YEAR(A1),6,15),A1<DATE(YEAR(A1),8,1)),6,8.45)
It checks if the data is in the range of YYYY-06-15 and YYYY-08-01 and sets then the output to 6, or if it is not in this range to 8.45
I did test it with e German Excel Version with the following formula and I translated it then manually in Notepad to the English formula version.
=WENN(UND(A1>DATUM(JAHR(A1);6;15);A1<DATUM(JAHR(A1);8;1));6;8,45)
I hope my formula translation will work for you in the English Excel version.
I am trying to convert column with GMT hour to the specified time zones from the user.
I get an error when VBA attempts to subtract 18000 secs (GMT-5) from 01:00.
Selected_GMT = -18000
CellValue = "1/0/00 01:00"
New_Time = DateAdd("s", Selected_GMT,CellValue)
Is this error happening because VBA is unable to determine the hours before 00:00?
I have figured out the seconds for Selected_GMT, how can I use that to determine New_Time?
As ooo noted in a comment above, 1/0/00 is an invalid date code. However even if that was a typo in your question, the fact that the date uses a 2 digit year code begs the question "WHICH year 00?" Apologies if you already know this, but below I've extracted a recap of how Excel dates work from something that I've written elsewhere. The relevant part is "Day Zero And Before In Excel"; if the "00" actually represents *19*00 in the cell (as it will if you've just punched in "01:00 as the cell entry), you're going to run into problems subtracting from that. In which case, perhaps explicitly enter the date and time (perhaps using the current date) but hide the date component using formatting):
Excel uses a "date serial" system in which any date that you use in
calculations is represented as a positive integer value. That integer
value is calculated from an arbitrary starting date. Adding whole
numbers to a specific serial date moves you forward through the
calendar a day at a time, and subtracting whole numbers moves you
backwards... as long as you don't go past the starting date of the
serial number system and end up with a negative value. Times are
represented as fractions of a day; 0.25 for 6am, 0.5 for noon, 0.75
for 6pm and so on.
Excel Dates
In the case of Excel for Windows, the starting date is 1 January 1900. That is, if you enter the value 1 into a cell in Excel
and format it as a date, you'll see the value as 1 January 1900. 2
will be the 2nd of January 1900, 3 the 3rd of January, and so on. 367
represents 1 January 1901 because Excel treats 1900 as having been a
leap year with 366 days. In other words, every full day that passes
adds 1 to the serial date.
It's important to remember that the above relates to Excel only, and
not to Access, SQL Server or other database products (or Visual Basic,
for that matter). In Access, for example, the range of valid dates is
1 January 100 to 31 December 9999, the same range that can be stored
in a VB or VBA variable with a Date data type.
Excel And The Macintosh
Macintosh systems use a start date of 1 January 1904, neatly bypassing the 1900 leap year issue. However that
does mean that there's a 4 year discrepancy between the serial date
values in a workbook created in Excel for Windows, and one created in
Excel for the Mac. Fortunately under Tools -> Options-> Calculation
(on pre-2007 versions of Excel) you'll find a workbook option called
1904 Date System. If that's checked, Excel knows that the workbook
came from a Macintosh and will adjust its date calculations
accordingly.
Excel Times
As noted in the introduction, times are calculated as a
fraction of a day. For example 1.5 represents noon on 2 January 1900.
1.75 represents 6pm on 2 January 1900.
(Snipped a bit about the leap year bug in 1900)
From 1 March 1900 onward Excel's dates are correct, but if you format
the number 1 using the format dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy you'll get the
result Sunday, 1 January 1900. That is incorrect; 1 January 1900 was a
Monday, not a Sunday. This day of week error continues until you reach
1 March, which is the first truly correct date in the Excel calendar.
Day Zero And Before In Excel
If you use the value zero and display it
in date format you'll get the nonsense date Saturday 0 January 1900.
If you try to format a negative value as a date, you'll just get a
cell full of hash marks. Similarly if you try to obtain a date serial
number using Excel functions like DateValue, you can only do so for
dates on or after 1 January 1900. An attempt to specify an earlier
date will result in an error.
The 1904 (Macintosh) system starts from zero. (1 January 1904 has a
value of 0, not 1. Excel's on-line help describes the Mac system as
starting from January 2, but that's probably easier than explaining to
users why a serial date value of 0 works on the Mac but not Excel.)
Negative numbers won't generate an error, but the number will be
treated as absolute. That is, both 1 and -1 will be treated as 2
January 1904.
